Juniper Presents: Bear Ranch - A Premier Luxury Vacation Estate

Truly fabulous, Bear Ranch sets you up for an amazing opulent vacation! In this huge estate home featuring 3 floors of elegance-meets-R-and-R, cathedral ceilings and abundant natural light, you and your guests can enjoy relaxing in front of a stone fireplace or spending time in a huge, fully-equipped game room, bar area or movie room. The Chef's Kitchen has all you'll need to whip up fab meals! Add top-tier BRs and BAs, balconies, huge pool, 2 hot-tubs, grills, a soccer field and firepit. Boom.

THE SPACE
Once you and your guests have stepped into this gorgeous estate home and taken in the spacious, naturally lit beauty before you and surrounding you, y’all will know you’re about to experience an extraordinary vacation. Leave your cares behind as you recline into a comfy couch with a glass of wine and stare into the flames dancing in the majestic hand-cut stone fireplace. Lean back and enjoy the Great Room’s vaulted ceilings, huge wood beams and magnificent views out the stunning wall of windows and French doors. Or catch a movie or favorite show on the flat-screen Smart TV.

Ready for a bite to eat? The open design leads you directly into the large, fully-remodeled Chef’s Kitchen, a perfect place to create vacay deliciousness, with top-end appliances, cookware and gadgets, as well as a primo coffeemaker and all the fixings. We hear guests love gathering for morning coffee at either the breakfast nook—with a superb view outside—or the central stone-top island. But when a formal meal has been prepared, the adjacent dining room is a sweet way to share time together with your family or friends.

On the ground level, y’all can find your way into all sorts of fun in the extra-large game room and bar area – both fully- equipped – including a pool table, ping-pong, jumbo fridge, sleek bar and chairs, and an array of cozy couches for ultra-relaxing. Plus, plenty of board games, an Arcade videogame and an assortment of kids’ games and books. If you or any of your guests need a suitable workspace, we’ve got that for you, too!

All eight of Bear Ranch’s super-comfy bedrooms are WAY attractively designed, lavishly appointed and highlighted by top-of-the-line bedding and linens, to ensure a sound sleep and sweet dreams!

Bedroom 1: 1 King bed + 2 Single beds + Ensuite Bathroom

UPPER FLOOR

LOWER LEVEL
Bedroom 7: 2 King beds + 2 Single beds + 1 crib
Bedroom 8: 1 Queen bed + 2 Single beds

All 6½ Bear Ranch bathrooms are exquisitely appointed and have features like deluxe vanity sinks, walk-in tiled showers, RainShower heads, a soaking tub and all the basics you and your guests might want. There’s also a laundry room outfitted with a high-end washer-dryer combo to meet all your laundering needs.

Just take a few steps outside and you will discover even more richness, comfort and spacious beauty! The wonderfully landscaped backyard is highlighted by an Olympic-size pool, two hot-tubs, and a koi pond with a soothingly serene waterfall. On the deck, there’s a gas barbecue grill, a smoker and patio dining sets, and by the pool and out on the lawn there are plenty of chaise lounges, patio chairs and lawn chairs for you and your guests’ reclining pleasure. Any children in the mix can take delight in a wonderful sandbox – with plenty of toys – or run around on the spacious lawn! Oh, one more thing – any soccer buffs in your group will be thrilled by having a soccer field set up beyond the pool in the backyard. GO-O-O-OAL!

Besides being just a stone’s throw from superb Lake Michigan beaches, popular galleries, shops, restaurants, wineries—you’ll be in the heart of Southwest Michigan’s acclaimed Wine Country—and woodland hiking and biking trails galore, you can also enjoy the many water-related activities afforded by being near the region’s largest recreational harbor, including boat, canoe, kayak, jet-ski and paddleboard rentals, as well as a wide variety of day or night cruises. Don’t forget to check out the regular farmer’s markets and seasonal outdoor festivals. And for golfing enthusiasts, there are a number of high-quality courses in the area to choose from. Fore! Bear Ranch is a stunning vacation spot, providing endless opportunities to create lasting vacation memories with family and friends.

Truly Outstanding Experience
From the first moment we booked the house until we checked out on Sunday, our experience with this house and organization was truly incredible. We plan a 16-person trip every year, and each year we stay in a different location. In our 15 years doing these trips, Sundrop was truly one of our best experiences. The management group thinks of everything, is incredibly prompt in responding to questions before and during the trip, and the property itself is AMAZING. 11 out of 10. Can't say enough about it.

Weekend Getaway
32 of us stayed at Sundrop and loved every minute of it. The house is extremely clean and well kept. There were plenty of rooms and beds for our crew. The best was the bedroom above the garage, it was quiet and removed. The pool and hot tubs were excellent. The only thing we felt was missing were nice large serving platters, pretty much everything else was there. We are already planning our return visit. Thanks so much for an excellent stay.

Great stay
We had a reunion and our family loved how spacious it was! There was plenty of space outdoors for everyone to hang out and enjoy as well. This would be a great property to enjoy during the summer with the pool and all. On that note with it being such a large, spacious, beautiful home and in a more remote area, wish we had access to an alarm system for piece of mind. This wasn’t a huge favor though, would definitely return. Food options were also difficult to find for our large group in the area so I’d plan to bring and cook in house in the future! Plenty of kitchen spaces to utilize. Thank you to our host for also checking in daily. Very accommodating and responsive.

Wonderful property - perfect for our extended family get-together
The property was perfect for our extended family. The house was clean and most everything was in order. One fridge and the icemaker was not working but there were three other refrigerators (!) and we the property manager provided bags of ice. Communication was great. Highly recommended property.

Sensational stay at Sundrop
We knew our stay at the Sundrop would be special, but the home far exceeded our expectations and was the most beautiful and comfortable setting for a weekend away. Every detail is thought out so perfectly to ensure guests can easily use everything - from the pool and hot tubs, to the catering kitchen, to the rec room in the basement, and more. The amenities were a dreamy highlight and the bedding was incredible. Thank you to Dwell for taking such wonderful and meticulous care of the Sundrop, we all hope to visit again in the very near future!

Leadership Retreat
Incredible property. Very relaxing and the rolling hills and privacy was great for our group. The property manager was organized & friendly. We do this several times a year and this property by far was the best one we have visited.

Wonderful family gathering!
The house is terrific! As described and pictured, and outfitted in so many ways (like that catering kitchen!) that worked to facilitate our stay. Further, the pool was a great hit with all family members. All in all, a great experience!

The Disneyland of VRBOs - Best Vacation Property I've Ever Stayed In
This house made our reunion of MBA classmates one for the books! It was a rare case of the home being better than the pictures. Check-in was a breeze and the managers were incredibly easy to communicate with. The house was so incredibly well stocked, from amenities (hot tubs, soccer field, deck, grills, pool) to activities (DisneyPlus, plentiful games and puzzles, billiards and ping pong tables) to the the kitchen (multiple coffeemakers, ovens, sinks, and more! Seriously better stocked than my own kitchen!)... it was like the property took on a life of its own in bringing us together to enjoy the weekend. This house is the epitome of all the little ways that vacation homes/managers could invest just a few more dollars and a little more thoughtfulness to eliminate all the friction points of traveling and staying somewhere new. They had thought of it all and then some, and it made for a flawlessly relaxing experience. We couldn't ask for more and will definitely recommend this property to our friends! Worth every penny.

Beautiful setting for New Years
We had a group of just under 25 and had an incredible time at Sundrop. The property/home is beautiful, comfortable and more than adequate for a group of our size. We have been doing this over NYE for 10+ years and never have we had a place so well equipped. We cook big meals and this place didn’t disappoint…you’ll leave wanting your own second catering kitchen by the time you leave. Communication with the managers was quick and easy and pretty much all we needed was provided. Would absolutely return.
