Brenda and Art,
"August 2012 - 47th Year!"
"Thanks again for another wonderful time at Bear's Den. The
question is, should I unpack or just leave the supplies in the
corner, Waiting for year 48? I better unpack, seeing it there
each day might make this a long cold winter. See you soon - as
the years seem to becoming more compressed."

"Brenda, Thanks to all for a great
trip. We made it home safe about 3:00 PM this afternoon.

time of the year. We probably will choose a time earlier in the
year. Thanks again for everything. You really run a world-class
operation there. Please feel free to post this note or use me
for a reference. Have a great winter. Rich, Dennis, Larry, and

Dear Brenda and Art,
"I just wanted to Thank You for the hospitality and
accommodations.
We had a great time and the food was great!
We accomplished almost everything we had planned i.e.: Eduardo
caught a few pike and walleye and Bruce needed to get away.
Maybe the next time I can do something for my Dad but I'm sure
we will do it again.
Next time I need to persuade Art to take us out for a 1/2 day or
something.
I will contact you guys soon to look at our schedule for next
season before it books up.
Thank you again!"

TOTAL PACKAGE THAT YOU PUT TOGETHER IS INDEED
5 STAR TO ME.
YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL, ENSURING THAT EACH DAY HAS A PLAN, THE
OVER THE TOP MEALS [ THANKS ART ], GREAT EQUIPMENT, LOVELY
GROUNDS......WELL THE LIST COULD KEEP GOING.
OUR TRIP FOR ME DID RE- INTRODUCE THE FRENCH RIVER DELTA AREA

"Thank you very much for the wonderful accommodations and
help we received while staying at Bear's Den Lodge. The
time we spent on the lower French River was such a special
experience. Words and pictures can never describe the
beauty that abounds beyond every island, shoal and bend. As
sad as we felt on the day we departed, our thoughts and
dreams are filled with our return to Bear's Den Lodge
and the lower French River. Using forty plus trips to
Canadian camps as comparison, staff provided as much
assistance to our success and boating safety as I've ever
seen in pointing out rock hazards and reefs."

Brenda: Arrived home last
night from our stay at Bear's Den Lodge and again wanted to tell
you what a wonderful time we had at your lodge. The
accommodations were clean and well maintained, something we
hadn't been used to in our recent visits to Canada. Tell
Joey and Wes thank you also as they were a big help in
transferring us from Hartley Bay to our cabin. I am sure
we will be returning next year in June. Thanks again.
Lawrence S. July 26, 2006.
We traveled from Cleveland, OH for a father and son adventure.
Our sons will never forget this experience, we have embossed a
