Loosely deriving its name from the American idiom “busy as a beaver,” beaver dens are necessary areas of refuge for hard-working individuals that take on a lot of roles and who often put the needs of others above their own and are therefore susceptible to burnout. Beaver dens are most effective when visited regularly and adorned in a way that is pleasing to the main occupant. While the person to which the beaver den belongs may invite others into it at their own discretion, it is imperative that they be permitted to occupy it in solitude as well to remain in touch with their personal identity separate from any other titles they might possess.

I went home on spring break and found a new flat screen TV, crafting supplies and a wine fridge in my room; it turns out my mom turned it into her beaver den and I’m sleeping in the guest room.

Extremely attractive, emotional stable woman who is a gainfully employed professional. She has an ample sex drive and willing to experiment. Someone whom you would desire to introduce to your friends and family. In other words, a hot woman who provides her man sex all the time, she isn’t crazy, and she’s very intelligent/self reliant. This individual is rare; a bit like Bigfoot, where there has been “sightings”, but no confirmed evidence that they truly exist. Not to be confused with the “unicorn”.
I thought I met a golden beaver once…. It was dark and a bit hazy at the club…. But the next morning it turns out she was just another beaver. :(
