A
secluded private hideaway in the woods

Center • Secluded Location |

The Bears' Den provides an
intimate bed and breakfast type setting in a private, lake side guest
house with all the comforts of home. Comfy beds and nice furniture, it's the perfect place for individual and couples getaways, and small
groups for organizational planning, spiritual renewal, fellowship
and fun year round. Nestled in a secluded, 30-acre woodland, one can
enjoy peaceful meditation trails in a serene, private setting away
from big city distractions. The 4-acre lake provides a great
opportunity to swim, fish, canoe, or just relax. |

LAKE HOUSE: Beautifully
decorated, with very comfortable beds, it has all the sweet
comforts of home. It is a cozy but spacious three-bedroom house
with sleeping for 2-12 and a fully equipped kitchen. The great room
features LaZBoy™ recliners, a large dining table, TV, DVD and
CD. The large deck is a perfect place to rest in this incredibly
peaceful setting. Rustic log benches surround a firepit for evening
gatherings by the lake. MAIN LODGE: The Main Lodge is
the gathering place for The Bears' Den and home to Christine, three dogs (Honey, Joy and Lil'Bit) and three resident cats. Most of
Christine's delicious, gourmet meals are served on the patio (in
good weather, of course) or inside which is decorated with a
rustic, Native American theme. Two additional guests rooms in this
house are available for retreat groups. GROUP ACTIVITIES: Exclusively
designed for your group. See Rates and Packages. Full service meals available. Located 1-1/2 hours southwest of St. Louis,
off I-44, in beautiful south central Missouri.
