Napping Bear Lodge is a three-story lodge that sits along the Eagle River Chain of Lakes with floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-concept design that brings the outdoors in. Plush furnishings and a stone fireplace create a warm welcome after days spent exploring the Northwoods.
A gourmet kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, dishwasher, coffee maker, and breakfast bar invites home-cooked meals. The adjacent dining area is ideal for family dinners with a lake view, and a sunroom off the great room hosts board games and conversation. Step onto the deck for alfresco dining at the gas grill.
Five bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across three levels accommodate up to 13 guests. The main-level king suite offers privacy, while upstairs queen rooms and a bunk room give everyone space. The walk-out lower level features a second living area with wet bar and pool table. Outside, a fire pit and private dock with kayaks remind you you’re in a private lodge—not a hotel.
Vaulted ceilings and panoramic windows frame the ever-changing waterscape, while a stone fireplace anchors the open-concept living room. The gourmet kitchen boasts granite counters, a dishwasher, and a well-stocked coffee station, turning meal prep into a pleasure.
An elevated deck with comfortable seating and a gas grill encourages outdoor living, and the walk-out lower level game room comes with a pool table, wet bar, and board games for rainy-day fun. You’ll also enjoy central air conditioning, Wi-Fi, laundry, and a private dock with kayaks—all the perks of home with none of the hotel crowds.
Launch your vacation from the private dock—drop a line for bass, perch, or walleye, tie up your own boat, or slide into one of our kayaks for a morning paddle. The fire pit waits for evening stories and s’mores under the stars.
When you venture into town, Eagle River is just six miles away, offering ice cream shops, supper clubs, boutiques, and the historic snowmobile derby track. Time your visit with local festivals like Cranberry Fest or stroll the charming downtown.
Nature lovers can explore miles of hiking and biking in the Nicolet National Forest, pack a picnic for the nearby parks, or hit the ATV and snowmobile trails. In winter, cross-country ski or snowshoe, then return to your cozy fireplace.
