Love the owners ... they are so helpful and friendly! Also, we like to stay here when we bike the trails. Acess to the trails is easy and it is so nice to have the locked and secured shed on the property put our bikes and charge them if needed.

My wife and I just spent seven delightful days and nights at Boulder Bear Motor Lodge in Boulder Junction, WI. Our room was spacious and clean, and the front lobby is a large inviting room that was perfect for hanging out with friends. The Innkeepers, Sam and Usha Patel, and their son Junior, went out of their way to provide a warm and welcoming family atmosphere. Boulder Junction is a great place to vacation, and Boulder Bear Motor Lodge is ideally located to provide quick access to the many outdoor activities and nearby restaurants.

Wonderful hospitality, so friendly. Cute lobby and comfortable room. Good location in Boulder Junction. Breakfast was adequate and hosts were very attentive - food could be a bit better. My only suggestion is to upgrade the pillows - softer, fluffy pillows would be nice. Overall we would stay there again. Good value.

The family who owns the property has a level of customer service that I have not experienced often (even in very expensive resorts). They seem to genuinely live the principles of serving the guests and getting to know each one. The only minor thing I would need to mention is that the room I stayed in had a subtle smell of cigarette smoke. They tried to mask it with air freshener, but I’m sensitive to it. Overall the property offered what I needed with the added bonus of the great customer service.
