We absolutely loved our stay at the dancing bear! We know it’s called the dancing bear for a reason now. We had two little furry friends show up on the porch one of our nights. The only thing I would recommend is maybe having more wash clothes & towels for guest. We booked for 6 ppl for 3 nights and there were 6 wash cloths 6 towels. The towels weren’t a big deal as we can reuse those but the wash cloths had to be washed for us to use again. Which you are allowed to use the washing machine & dryer. No deal breaker for sure just a suggestion. Overall very happy with our stay. The view is gorgeous the house is beautiful and well kept. We would definitely book this cabin again! Thank you for hosting us!
