About this property

Quiet, Cozy Cottage in the Woods with Large Outdoor Area

Warm and cozy guesthouse - approx. 500 sq. ft. - with a private deck & grill overlooking a creek and a magical forest. We're the last house at the end of a gravel road, backing up to the Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness Area. Short walk on private property to the Salmon River. Lush, romantic, green area. Several acres of groomed and wild spaces. Serene and quiet feel.

The cottage is traditionally and thoughtfully appointed. One bedroom with a queen bed, a living room with a small sofa bed and a gas "wood" fireplace for chilly nights. There's a small full kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower.

Our house is adjacent to the cottage. The entrance to the cottage is private, with a small deck and grill overlooking a creek and the woods. The cottage faces out to the grounds, not the house, so you will feel remote.

There is no television. The cottage has strong dedicated wifi, games and cards. There is a feeling of "going back in time" here.

Enjoy sitting on the deck listening to birdsongs and watch the deer and other occasional wildlife wandering through. Look for the ducks in the small pond behind the cottage, and our elusive blue heron.

Guests say this is a wonderful place for a romantic getaway, to work, to write a book, to hike and to be near water.

Guests are invited to roam the extensive grounds. Gravel walking paths lined with ferns lead to a covered pavilion. Follow paths into the woods and discover secret spaces. Hike up the ridge on the property, into the Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness. Take a short walk on a private trail to the Salmon River, and it's swimming hole. Try out the hammocks. Wave to Mark if you see him on the tractor. Play horseshoes in the horseshoe pit. Sit atop Bear Rock. Welcome the ducks to the duck pond below the cottage. It's a special place and we're happy to share it.

We may or may not be there in the main house during your stay. If you need anything just give one of us a call or text. Otherwise, we are mindful of your privacy.

When guests are on the property we generally keep to our own patio and avoid the area around the cottage, for your privacy.

Beautiful property surrounded by lush green forest and creeks—we had a wonderful stay overall. However, we were disappointed by the excessive spider webs both inside and outside the house. Given the price point, we expected a higher standard of cleanliness.

Peaceful oasis

We love this little cottage in the woods. It’s just enough for the two of us to relax, drink coffee, read books and hike along the property’s various trails. This was our 4th year here and we absolutely love it.

Comfortable, beautiful, relaxing, quiet

My husband and I had a lovely stay. This place it's very comfortable and beautiful grounds to walk on. I felt like we were in a secret hideaway retreat. The air conditioning was a nice bonus. We look forward to coming here again and enjoying this beautiful space. It was also close enough hiking and boating on the mountain which we enjoyed a lot. Thank you!

This place is awesome! You truly feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but you're just five minutes from a charming small town. There are hiking trails within minutes and some fun short ones on the property itself. I highly recommend taking lunch down by the river at the property and enjoying the tranquility. There is an entire outdoor area with games, heatlamps, couches, etc. that you get all to yourself. The main house is next to the cabin but we didn't see the owners at all. I will definitely be returning!

This is the most magical woodland property I have ever stayed at outside of dispersed camping in the national forest. Everything I love about the forest has been condensed into this one property!Giant towering old growth trees. Dappled woodland glades. Tiny bubbling springs. Creeks. Little magical fairy ponds. A swimmable/fishable river. Strange mushrooms. Large frogs. Wild berries. The list goes on and on, but you get the idea. The cottage is quaint and perfectly serviceable - bring your own oil and spices if you plan to do any real cooking. One of the owners was there in the main house for the duration of our stay, but it truly did feel like we had the whole place to ourselves.Highly recommend and will return as soon as I'm able to!

Quiet getaway

This property is a nature paradise with trails and native flora. The Salmon River adjoins the property and is just a short walk away. The property also adjoins a nature preserve and it is a great place to hike. The owners are very nice. It is very quiet and peaceful. It also has a full kitchen which is nice. We took our dog and he loved walking the property.

A bit of Heaven on Earth

Dancing Bear Cottage is quaint, charming, has everything one needs, and the setting is truly ‘out of this world’. The owners are delightful and add to the enchanted experience. The beautiful, quiet, nature-filled setting is a blessing for anyone wishing peace, healing and restoration of body, mind, and spirit: a welcome respite from stresses of city life! Look forward to the opportunity to stay again, hopefully for a longer length of time! Thank you Monica and Mark for sharing your piece/peace of Heaven!

3 day get away

I wanted a quiet little spot for myself and my dog, just to get away for a few days. Thought I might leave the property to check out the area, but once I got there I realized everything I wanted was right outside my back door. The place is magical, there are trails everywhere, little creeks, waterfalls, a river, lots of bridges, and moss covered trees everywhere. The hosts are fantastic, and the house is so quaint and comfortable… what a beautiful place to wake up in the morning. I will definitely be coming back!
