Running Bear Resort

I'll start by saying I loved this place. While this won't be for everyone, this is exactly what I was looking for, rustic cabin with everything we needed at a great price. We were only planning on spending a few hours here in addition to sleeping, otherwise we were going to be out and about. So I didn't want to pay a lot since we would be there much. This place was easy to find, private and quiet. You do have to bring a few of your own things, but it had a refrigerator, stove and kitchen stuff. We enjoyed our time playing cards in the cozy cabin. This isn't plush, or fancy, but if your looking for an up north cabin it was awesome. I'd totally stay here again!! We visited in late July over labor day weekend in the hunters cabin. Thanks for the great stay!!

Very nice cabin, spacious and clean, nice yard for evening fires in stargazing! Perfectly located to visit all the waterfalls and about a hour drive to porcupine mountain, which is a must see! There’s a cute convenience store across the street that serves tasty ice cream. Also has all the food staples you may need as well as a good selection of souvenirs. They also sell firewood to have that perfect fire after a long day of hiking and seeing great waterfalls.

This is the best place I have ever stayed. The staff for one, makes it feel like home. They are more than friendly, professional, caring and helpful with mapping information, trails, etc. The Cabins are cleaner than my own home. We don't hesitate to get unpacked hit the beds or couch and relax for a few. No worries at all about the hygiene. They are top notch when it comes to the cabins. The cabins themselves are all very unique, with different themes in each one. If you're wanting the wilderness experience, then Running Bear is the place to rent from! The cozy, more than comfortable cabins give that old time explorer/hiker/backpacker feel with the safety, and soundness of a newly built home. I love sleeping in listening to the rain on the roof! Nothing more enjoying than the peace we get

My hubby and I stayed here for our 6 year anniversary to be close to Bond Falls. Everything was wonderful, clean and cozy. We stayed in the Gray Wolf cabin. The king size bed was comfortable, we loved grilling outside on the charcoal burner they provide, the kitchen area inside comes with so many useful things. It was just awesome and we loved everything about our stay. Linda and her husband were great with us at check in. We hope to be back again one day!

Havent reviewed in awhile but stayed again as a family of five this summer and as always, warm and welcoming hosts, clean, cozy cabins, working appliances (but no microwaves), wi-fi and tv have improved greatly in the past few years. there’s a reason their guests keep returning year after year and use as a base camp for day trips. Guests are outdoors people..ATVs, UTVs, kayakers, boaters, fisherfolk, hunters in season…all very friendly. There are cabins available between sequential bookings as they dont require week long stays as some resorts do…just bring your own bedding, pillows and toiletries..it’s all detailed on their website. if you are traveling or camping in the UP, you’ll probably have these with you. Enjoy your visit and dont forget the Paulding Mystery Light and Bond Fal
