About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Bear Historic Home

Grand views await you in this well-appointed vacation home. Close to golf, water recreation, fishing and hunting.
This property is a true piece of American History. The home was built in 1900 for William Bear, who stood with Chief Standing Bear to challenge the Federal Government in Court. It was moved to Niobrara Village, added onto and updated in 2008. There are 180-degree views of the Missouri River with the Standing Bear Bridge to the East, from every part of the home.
Entering through the front door is the original main level of the house. The wood floors, doors and accents built in 1900, remain intact. Adding to the beauty of the parlor is a Diamond Willow staircase built by Keith Eckmann in 2008.
The location of this home provides year around opportunities of sporting, recreation, and family gatherings. Ample opportunities for water activities in the Niobrara, Missouri and Lewis and Clark Lake.

For security, there are two outside cameras on the property. One shows the front porch and front door. The other captures the driveway.

Just as beautiful as the pictures
This is one of the most beautiful properties. The view of the Missouri River and the bridge over the river is stunning. As you enjoy the big deck off the kitchen there is a vast view of the area. The bedrooms were all wonderful and spacious. The kitchen was very well stocked. Everything was very clean. Book it!!!!

Peaceful, Pretty, Perfection, and Paradise!
We were all so impressed with the property from entering the beautiful house to studying all of the history and artwork to admiring the amazing woodwork to sitting on the deck with breathtaking views to soaking in the clawfoot tub. Life doesn't get much better than this!

Leiding/Von Rentzell Vacation
What a beautiful home and amazing location! Unfortunately, the three days we were there were a few of the hottest days of the summer and the AC couldn’t keep up with the 100 degree temps so the basement was the only cool location most of the time. The host was very responsive to communication and requests. His housekeeper brought a couple more fans and had someone come look at the AC unit which made a difference. Would love to rent this in the fall and enjoy time on the beautiful deck.
