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

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. 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. The hot water is also on demand, so 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 club house 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, club house, 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!

Bridgeton Boys Reunion
40 years ago we all met and spent many winters and summers in Knights Hill Maine. Our parents owned vacation homes and we would travel to Knights Hill for weekends, school vacation weeks, summers. We were all from different towns in Massachusetts; Beverly, Braintree, Walpole. It was the late 1970s through the 1980s. No cell phones low tech, good clean fun! Our trip to the Bears Den was our second of what will not doubt be many reunions. We are older now, gray haired (those that still have their hair that is) but no less hardcore, still a very tight fun loving group. We very much enjoyed the accommodations, clean, warm excellent in every way. It was a perfect setup for our group of 7. Ample bedding, great outdoor firepit, a grill. Nothing additional needed, truly turn key. Sindi and Doug are awesome!!! The Bears Den is best in class for a weekend or longer getaway! Thank you so much for helping make our weekend a success!

Perfect family vacation
Had the best time at The Bears Den. Felt like home from the second we got there til we left. Relaxing, cozy and perfect location, close to the mountain for skiing and close to town. Can’t wait to go back again.
