It's sure to be an outstanding October, culminating in our annual Homeowners Weekend and Halloween festivities. We'll cover all that and more in this week's Bear Prints.

Castle Sessions w/ Brett Jones & Bobby Terry - October 13th

ALMOST SOLD OUT

Our final Castle Session of 2022 is a week away and only a few tickets remain. Join us for one last incredible evening of live music, storytelling, mixology, and culinary artistry with Brett Jones and Bobby Terry.

Did you know Brett Jones has achieved the rare feat of having number 1 songs released in each of the last three decades? After the ascension Andy Griggs' "You Won't Ever Be Lonely" in 1999, Billy Currington's "That's How Country Boys Roll" in 2009, and Justin Moore's "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" in 2011, Brett Jones joined a truly elite club as a songwriter. That's only the tip of the iceberg, as his discography includes over 300 songs written, 150 major label recordings, and numerous albums as an artist.


 Head to castlesesssions.com to secure tickets, and use promo code HOMEOWNER for $50 off each ticket. Need transportation? We’ll pick you up! Email shuttle@bearlakereserve.com to be picked up at the Lake Club or Greeter’s Cottage.
