Enchanting cabin retreat with hot tub & fire pit tucked away in the heart of Lake Toxaway on the 18th Hole!
Enjoy a comfy retreat in this trilevel cabin on a peaceful, private, wooded lot tucked away in the beautiful Lake Toxaway community. Brimming with rustic elegance, no detail has been spared in this recently updated home with high-end furnishings and fixtures galore. The main level offers a beautiful open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, and a cozy, updated kitchen outfitted for a chef! The Great Room on the main level has a sectional sofa, two plush swivel chairs, 55” TV with Roku Soundbar, two Sonos bluetooth speakers, and a bar cabinet outfitted to entertain. The open kitchen features granite countertops, This room also includes a dining table with bench seating that seats 8-10 people. From the Great Room, access the expansive covered deck with enough seating for the entire family to enjoy the lush forest views on the 18th hole of the golf course with mountain views in the distance. There is a brand-new Napoleon gas grill on the deck for the chef in the family! The main level has two bedrooms - one with a queen bed and the other has two twin beds. There is a full bathroom on the main floor with a tub/shower combo. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms - one with a king bed (considered the master bedroom) and the other with a queen bed. There is a full bathroom on this upper floor with a tub/shower combo for these two bedrooms to share. There is ample closet space in each bedroom. The downstairs bonus room is the perfect hideout for the kids to take over with a queen bed and two twin beds or another small family to have privacy. The bonus room has a large sleeper sofa, queen bed and two twin beds, and 50” TV with Roku Soundbar, large closet, as well as a full bathroom. There is a large utility room on the downstairs level with brand new Maytag washer and dryer and a second refrigerator to store any overflow from the kitchen refrigerator. A Pac-n-Play and highchair are stored in the utility room for guests use. From the downstairs, there is access to a covered flagstone patio with a brand new 6-7 person Sundance hot tub, a fire pit just off the patio, and various outdoor landscaped spaces in the backyard to enjoy nature. Follow the landscaped footpath down from the patio area where you will find a terraced seating area with 8 Adirondack chairs and another firepit area. The back side of the home is west-facing with a gorgeous sunset exposure.
Dancing Bear Cabin features the perfect layout for multiple families to come together and enjoy the enchanting beauty of the area. Lake Toxaway is a thriving community that offers stunning lake views, easy access to Gorges State Park hikes, and a marina to rent pontoons, canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, skis, tubes, and toys. The cabin is in a prime location on the golf course with a meandering footpath through the back yard down to the 18th hole. It’s less than 2 minutes from the marina and the highly acclaimed Greystone Inn which features a world class restaurant overlooking the lake and a fabulous bar at the Inn. Heading west from Lake Toxaway, Ski Sapphire Valley is 24 minutes away and a great place for kids to learn to ski or snowboard, and even snow tubing during their ski season and zip lining is offered during the summer. The charming village of Cashiers is 28 minutes away just on the other side of Sapphire Valley with cute shops, restaurants, Cashiers Farmer’s Market, Ingles, our favorite Native Prime Provisions, and the beautiful Village Green Park. Highlands is an easy day trip located 45 minutes away just past Cashiers and well worth the hike. Heading east from Lake Toxaway, the historic town of Brevard is only 30 minutes away where you’ll find many more shops, art galleries, restaurants, movie theater and more. Downtown Asheville is just over an hour away. The Asheville Regional airport is an easy 55 minutes away!

Perfect place for a large family or two smaller families. It was summer so we didn't use the multiple fire pits and large hot tub but will return in the fall and take advantage then. Very spacious, yet cozy at the same time. Can't miss rental.

Cannot wait to come back!
Where do I start? From walking in the front door and immediately feeling like I was in the most welcoming and charming home ever, to the gorgeous scenery and environment, I just don’t know where to start! we were definitely charmed by the tasteful and classy decor, and enchanted by the homey feeling!
Kitchen was well equipped with quality everything. The house was clean and its layout perfect for 11. Furnishings were like new and beds very comfortable.
The home was beautiful and spacious. We were there for our daughter's wedding at the Greystone Inn and it was so conveniently located. After the wedding, it was so nice to relax by the fireplace!
We had a wonderful stay at this very cozy cabin! It was comfortable and well appointed! Great location! Would definitely recommend Dancing Bear Cabin!!

Vacasa ruined our vacation
The home was lovely and a lovely community. We had so many problems with Vacasa. I don’t feel most of the issues were the fault of the homeowner but all of the fault of Vacasa.
Although the home itself was lovely, the property management company ruined most of our vacation.they told us before booking that we had lake access to swim in the lake, but this was incorrect.We would not have booked this home if we knew that.The home was not clean or ready for us upon arrival at the listed check-in time.The Septic tank started to overflow and needed to be pumped. I had to find a company to come quickly on my own.Golf cart that we paid for broke down on the side of the mountain road. We were given inaccurate pieces of information by host before arriving. Terrible customer service and poor communication. There were other issues , too many to list here.I don’t blame the homeowners, but I do blame the company . With proper management this home could be the perfect rental property, but do be aware there is no lake access except for the cute little marina where you can rent boats, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards.We did make the best of our time here, even though a lot of the time was spent dealing with issues that we had to handle ourselves because they couldn’t help us. Positives: home is a good size that fit our family perfectly. Lake Toxaway country club is very pretty.The home is nicely stocked with top of the line kitchen items.The golf cart was nice to have while it worked.My negative review is not about the home itself, but about the management company and our terrible experience with them. I gave them a chance to rectify but they didn’t.
