Bridgton House | Welcome to The Bear's Den! Dog friendly and 5 minutes to Pleasant Mountain!

3 Bedroom House in Bridgton

Come stay and play at The Bear’s Den in West Bridgton, Maine!
Nestled snuggly in the woods of the Knights Hill Association, this home is situated on a wooded half-acre lot. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. (We also have an additional two cots with sleeping bags, and two pack and plays with mattresses and bedding for them, as well.)
From its rough-hewn boards to its modern kitchen, this home is an absolute delight. Our previous guests have described it as feeling like they were in a tree house, while others have said they feel as if the house welcomed them with a warm hug. There is something very special about The Bear’s Den and the location is perfect for experiencing all the wonderful amenities from the Lakes Region of Maine to the White Mountains of New Hampshire!
We have an automatic whole house generator, so you will never be without power and hot water should there ever be a power outage. The hot water is also on demand. That means that dishwasher can be running, while both bathrooms are in use (including the jetted tub), even if there is a load of laundry in the washer. Perfect after a fun day on the slopes, hiking, or a day at the beach!
We are a pet friendly home. We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs to accompany you during your stay. A friendly reminder that Bridgton has a leash law, and that the association does not allow pets on the beach or around the pool area.
The Knights Hill Association Moose Pond beach, playground, and clubhouse are just down the street. Less than a 10-minute walk or 2-minute car ride. We have two kayaks available at the beach for your use during the summer months. The outdoor association pool, clubhouse, playground, and tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts are located across the street and available for use in the warmer months, too. They are also less than a 10-minute walk or 2-minute car ride.
Hop in your car and you are only 5 minutes from the base of Pleasant Mountain. Hiking and biking in the warmer months and skiing and snowboarding in the winter months. There are also plenty of places to snowshoe, cross-country ski, and (ice) fish, around the Moose Pond area. Warm up at the end of the day with a meal or s’mores around the firepit, soak in the jetted tub in the main floor bathroom, and/ or curl up on the downstairs couch in front of the gas fireplace.
Whatever your pleasure, The Bear’s Den is a delightful four-season retreat! We can’t wait for you to book your stay with us and see for yourself!
FYI-The Bear's Den calendar tends to fill rather quickly. If your requested dates are not available, please reach out to us. We can add you to our wait list so you will be one of the first to know if there is a guest cancellation. Thank you!

Summary: The Bears Den is an amazing lake house! More than amazing! Sindi has everything you need waiting for you! We really enjoyed the fire pit! So nice to have the family all together relaxing. The kids loved the bears that decorated the cabin. So many Bears! We were within an hr of so many places to visit. We went to Storyland, Conway Scenic Railroad, Cog Railroad on Mount Washington, Portland beaches, swam in the Soco river, enjoyed a beautiful scenic drive thru the New Hampshire White Mountains and even the Clarks Bear Show. My daughters and grandchildren are still raving how nice the cabin is. Our hosts made sure that all our needs were met. Check out the town of Brighton. You can find anything at Reny's. Beth's on the main street has the best omlets and oatmeal. Ate there twice. You also have to check out Cool Moose. A tee shirt shop in Brighton, Family owned since 1968. We all loved Bears Den and are planning to make a return trip soon!

Summary: The Bears Den was the perfect launching pad for my exploration of Bridgton and surrounding communities while searching for my retirement home. My friend and I felt right at home in the well stocked kitchen. We arrived with plenty of groceries but it was nice to have spices, coffee filters and creamers already stocked for us!The home was comfortable and clean, and the three bedrooms are perfect size for families with children. The main living area and 1st floor "playroom" boast large screen TVs so that adults and kids can watch different programs at the same time!Having a washer and dryer on the first floor along with detergent was very convenient!The neighborhood where The Bears Den is located is quiet and serene. I loved waking up to early morning bird song and a cup of coffee on the back, screened deck!I highly recommend staying at this VRBO if ever in the Bridgton area!Thanks so much, Sindi

Summary: The Bear’s Den is a delightful home and we loved every minute of our stay. The owners really leaned into the bear theme, there are bears everywhere in a really delightful way. The firepit out back was the perfect spot to relax and hangout as a group. The lake that we had access too was beautiful! Our trip was in the fall and it was chilly but we couldn’t resist some fishing and kayaking/paddlebording at the lovely spot. We also appreciated that there was a good size deck on the front as well as a screened in porch on the back.The house has everything you could want and we really enjoyed our stay.

Summary: This property is one of the cleanest and most stocked, well-planned out rental that we have stayed in. The owners have put a lot of thought into little details (like automatic stair tread lights) and have made sure the renters would not be in need of a thing; there was a variety of shampoo/soaps/medical items, ingredients for s'mores and plenty of wood, the kitchen had every gadget and appliance as well as coffee/tea//creamer/sugar. The welcome binder was helpful and clear. Owners were quick to welcome us beforehand and quick to respond with any questions. Easy check in and out. Great location and neighborhood. The property is lovely and cozy, as is the house. Their effort to welcome kids was certainly noticed and the kids enjoyed the games, toys, night lights, bath bubbles. Highly recommend because you will not be disappointed.
