What an amazing stay! We brought our kids and two dogs for fall break and had the best time. The house was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. We loved the fire pit in the evenings (lots of places in town to get wood) and spent most of our days down at the dock using the canoe, kayaks, and paddle boards. Don’t forget your fishing gear—we caught bluegill and yellow perch! The host was wonderful and very responsive. We’d 100% stay here again—five stars all the way!!

Our stay at Dancing Bear was fantastic! The property and amenities were exactly as pictured/described and the host was very responsive to all communications. The location was great - convenient to town but far enough to feel remote - on a quiet little road with other beautiful cabins. The cabin was a perfect size for us with nice bathrooms and all kitchen amenities. The grounds were beautiful - plenty of trees, stone walkways, picnic table, hammocks, fire pit, hot tub - all you could ask for. We stayed 2 weeks and had such a great time - fun and relaxing. We used the canoe and kayaks and SUP boards. We hiked, visited beautiful waterfalls, rented a boat on Lake Chatuge (great boating!), went whitewater rafting, visited the little German town of Helen. Lots of action but also plenty of serene moments on the dock, reading in the screen porch, cooking on the grill. It was everything we had hoped and more. Can’t say enough good things about it!

The cabin is rustic mountain. The ease of walking to the dock was nice. We parked the fishing boat and our fishing kayaks with no problem. The screened in porch greeted us every morning to enjoy our coffee. We played board game on the open deck every day and s’mores by the fire pit every night. Very peaceful and the lake is surrounded by mountains.

Relaxing Rainy Getaway
Our family (including my parents and my children) enjoyed a rainy, but beautiful and relaxing stay. The cabin was very well decorated and maintained and everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Even during rainy days we were able to enjoy the screened in porch. The host was very friendly, helpful and prompt. We would definitely love to return!

We stayed here with our 3 and 5 year olds and had a blast. Corey was a great host - easy, prompt instructions for getting in and getting around with recommendations for what to do in the area. Our kids loved playing on the big porches, in the water, on the dock, and roasting marshmallows at the awesome fire pit. Would definitely recommend!

Everything you need is just a few miles from town plus Cory has everything in the house you could ever think of or need.. I would highly recommend this location and this host and this property to anyone married ,single or with a family. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back in the spring.

Great mountain getaway on the lake!
Wow, wow, wow, what a great place!! The views from the house/porch are wonderful. Then you walk out on the dock and it’s an even better view! Perfect fall foliage views. We enjoyed using the kayaks to cruise around on the lake. Our teenage son even fished from the kayaks a little bit while my dad fished from the dock. This cabin is very peaceful, very clean and easy to get too from the main roads! The cabin owner, Corey, communicates very well with you about any questions you may have about the house and area!! We enjoyed our fall trip to this beautiful lake house in the mountains!! We all want to come back in the summer to enjoy it all over again. Thanks again Corey for sharing your house!!

The beautiful grounds overlooking the lake & mountains was idyllic The screened in front porch offset the cloudy & rainy days that we were there. The layout was thoroughly thought of for someone who couldn’t do many steps. It feels like home & the housekeeping crew did an amazing job, esp finding my husband’s wallet that was left behind. Corey was very helpful & communicative throughout. We will be back!

Wonderful family fun on the lake
We come up to the mountains every summer and love Lake Chatuge!! We found this wonderful cabin with all the bells and whistles to enjoy the lake life! We used the paddle boards, kayaks and floats everyday on the lake. We especially loved the later afternoon into evening time on the lake then jumped in the hot tub to relax while the fire heated up for s’mores and family laughs! There were life jackets for all sizes available and pumps for the floats. I did bring my electric one so it made it easier. No need to bring your own floats, all different kinds available for use! The house was fully stocked with paper goods as well and extra beach towels incase you didn’t bring them. TV’s in all the rooms . The area where the house is on the lake is not busy with boating traffic which is very nice ,10 minutes to Ingles which is great. Corey was quick to answer if we had a question and very attentive! If you’re looking for a property to fully enjoy the outdoors and lake this is the place for you!
