About Property

Experience the ultimate Upper Peninsula getaway at The Bear Den, a stunning sanctuary boasting two hundred feet of private Lake Superior shoreline in Paradise, Michigan. This home is meticulously built for families and groups who want the full UP experience in every season, from the powerful summer sun to the dramatic November gales on the big lake.

Designed for groups of up to 10 guests, the home features 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The sleeping arrangements include a luxurious master suite with a king bed, private en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and panoramic lake views. A second bedroom offers another king bed, the third features a queen, and the fourth provides two bunk beds—perfect for kids or a crew wanting their own space. An air mattress is also available for the 10th guest. The bathrooms are spacious, including the private en-suite and two additional baths with large showers.

Inside, the centerpiece is a magnificent two-story natural stone wood-burning fireplace that anchors the open-concept living and dining area. Large windows frame breathtaking views of Lake Superior and Whitefish Bay. For entertainment, the game loft is stocked with a shuffleboard table, vintage arcade console, poker table, and board games. The home also includes a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a finished lower level for extra hangout space, central air conditioning, high-speed WiFi, a washer and dryer, and a dedicated workspace.

Outdoor living is where The Bear Den truly shines. Guests can walk the private beach at sunrise, search for agates and Yooperlites after dark with a UV flashlight, or enjoy sunset bonfires at the large backyard firepit. The property includes a private deck with outdoor dining, a gas BBQ grill, a Level 2 Siemens VersiCharge EV charger, and free parking for three trucks and trailers—ideal for ORVs, boats, or snowmobiles.

Located in the adventure-rich corner of the Eastern UP, you are just 8 minutes from the Whitefish Point Lighthouse and Bird Observatory and 20 minutes from the iconic amber waters of Tahquamenon Falls State Park. Paradise Village is only 10 minutes away for local pasties and supplies.
