Big Bear Hideaway has that perfect Up North experience with small town feel, familiarity, peacefulness and beauty for my husband, 2 kids (13&11) and myself. Troy, the owner was very nice and accommodating. Located off the main Hwy but barely heard the noise because of the dense trees and being on a peaceful river that leads to Pickeral Lake. Brand new dock was perfect when we rented jet skis and got hungry for lunch, we were able to head up to the cabin because there are no restaurants on Pickeral Lake. The free use of the canoes was a nice touch because Pickeral river is so calm and peaceful with the minimal boat traffic and towering trees. Close to town with plenty of restaurants, grocery store, coffee shops and ice cream shop. Cabin was gorgeous and in perfect condition! We even asked the host for details for our new house. We loved being able to use their full kitchen every morning for hot breakfasts and coffee. They had wifi which was helpful because our cell service was very limited (which we love!) and we were able to watch a movie on the stormy night.

3 days of fishing in St. Germain, Wi. The cabin was amazing. Clean, comfortable in a nice setting overlooking the creek. Off of Highway 70, convenient to the main town as well as restaurants. Awesome place.
