My 3 daughters and I rented Dancing Bear cabin 4/4-4/7/24. Of course I loved it online, but it exceeded all my expectations upon walking through the front door, scratch that, upon pulling in the driveway. The cute front porch swing and rockers were so inviting. This cabin was so very clean, very spacious (for us plus 2 doggies), the decor was beautiful, and I loved finding the lil bears on the fireplace and in the kitchen.They absolutely thought of everything. It was like picking up everything I needed from home and bringing it with me. Anything you could possibly need in the kitchen is there. There was even plenty of firewood for the firepit. The hot tub was AMAZING! We were in it everynight. Very relaxing.
We didnt even leave the cabin the 1st day and a half except to go to the grocery store. Everything you need is within a short distance.
I almost forgot, we were sent a welcoming text from the owners letting us know all the basics but they also included places to eat and things to see. A huge shout out and BIG thank you to the owners for offering such a wonderul place to call "home" when you're away from home. I have rented quite a few VRBO's and this one is by far my Favorite! We will be booking again! 5 STARS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had such a wonderful four day stay at the Dancing Bear. Such a clean place you can sit back and relax in. It is spacious, yet cozy! The hot tub was a plus as the weather was cooler in the evening. It was also very clean and well kept! We had everything we needed to make it feel like home away from home. We ventured out and visited West Jefferson, Boone, and Blowing Rock during our stay and all were easy to get to. Part of the Blue ridge parkway was closed for repair so we couldn’t get so some of the closer hikes but we made it work by going to Blowing Rock. Steep driveway but good info in the description to warn about it (and totally expected in the mountains, right?) Overall, such a perfect place for our spring break getaway.

We enjoyed our stay. Very clean, stocked and well equipped. I only wish there were a king bed in master but I completely knew it was a queen based on listing and would stay here again. It is very private and you are completely alone but close to Boone, Blowing Rock and the Parkway. We enjoyed the hottub and video games and the beautiful nature. The road to the cabin is a thick gravel road so tires spin easily on a hair pin turn which can be a little scary but it's fine once you're in the driveway. Driveway is pretty flat and perfect. We hope to come back soon with our children. Owners are super easy to communicate with.

From the owner: "I am so glad you all enjoyed your stay, Tracey. I appreciate your feedback regarding the gravel driveway. Padco Excavating is installing a Padco Excavating NEW ASPHALT DRIVEWAY next month in May. We are extremely excited about this!".
This is a wonderful family cabin with a relatively short drive into Boone and surrounding areas.

From the owner: "Hi, Shiran. Yes, we love the solitude of being on two private acres, yet going to town is a pretty easy drive! We appreciate your review and hope you stay with us again at Dancing Bear Cabin!"
We had a wonderful time at the Dancing Bear! We were close to amazing hikes and visited Boone and Blowing Rock. The house was stocked with everything you could need. It was by far one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. The hot tub was a favorite after hikes and pickleball. We highly recommend.

From the owner: "Hi Traci! We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay. We just bought that tub last year and I love that it has forty or so jets. Also, we are there and stock up each month. We don't want anyone running out of anything. Cascade Falls is our favorite hike, which is maybe 5 miles away, up the Blue Ridge Parkway. We hope you and your family visit with us again!"
