Some places say they cater to pets and families - but this home really does! The loft space is absolutely magical for kids - my ten and seven year old wish they could have brought the room back home with them. Coloring books and crayons. Plastic plates, bowls and utensils for the kids. A few board games. Dog bowls, dog covers on the couches, an amazing fenced yard. Kitchen is well-equipped. Decor and furniture was beautiful, comfortable and inviting. The entire cabin felt peaceful inside and out. Easy access to the park down the road where we spent 6+ hours one afternoon playing in the river and the rope swing into the water. S’mores kit and some pancake mix greeted us :) A great welcome to our vacation. This is one of those properties that looks amazing in photos and looks even better in person. We were a family of four and a dog but plenty of space for more here. All bedrooms and equally beautiful and comfortable. A++ stay. Even the drive in with all the deer is great!

Elisabeth is a great host! She was able to accommodate a special request for our dogs & I was happy I reached out to her before booking. Check-in/Check-out was a breeze. She conacted us at appropriate times, making herself available for any questions, was very accommodating & we instantly felt welcomed to enjoy the property. We arrived to a clean home with everything we needed for a great vacation week. If you don't travel with dogs, you'd never know they were allowed. If you do have dogs, you know it can be hard to find a NICE place that is welcoming. This is it! Easy access to the fenced yard, and easy to contain on the deck. Dancing Bear is a great home for multiple families with lots of space inside & outside! We enjoyed grilling out (table for 8!!) & relaxing on the porch & fire pit areas. The resort area is large with indoor/outdoor pools, parks, and river access- great for kids, teens, & dogs! I highly recommend Dancing Bear & would definitely return!
