You will find that Dancing Bear Cabin is the perfect mountain retreat. Nestled in the pines and a short walk to a picturesque lake, you will enjoy the peace and beauty of the area. Golf, horseback riding, shops and restaurants are all close by.
Dancing Bear Cabin has been called "the cutest cabin on the mountain." Secluded in the pines on a quiet cul-de-sac, yet within walking distance to the quaint village with shops and dining and you will be far away from the clamor of the city. Fern Lake is an easy 4 minute walk and numerous trails are nearby for your enjoyment.
You will find it easy to unwind and renew in the tall pines and fresh air. Cozy up to a book by the flicker of a warm fire. Get artistic and paint scenes of the mountains and sky. Wander down winding trails and along streams. Get out and do some serious biking or power walking. Or just sit on the porch and relax.
Decorated with rustic lodge decor, unique art and antiques, Dancing Bear Cabin also has a whimsical side... with bears everywhere you look, of course. Dancing Bear himself, a one-of-a-kind wood carving, likes to stay close to the warmth of the glowing wood stove.
Come and treasure our family's mountain log home. You will want to make it an annual tradition!
