About this property

Dancing Bear - 349 Ridge Road<br><br>Dancing Bear - Private Wooded Lot, Pet Friendly, Lake Access

The charm of a classic cabin with the advantages of modern, open concept living. Dancing Bear is the just right place for you next family gathering. In the main living area enjoy vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows over looking the private, wooded lot and a stone, wood burning fireplace. Gather around the dining table or go casual and sit at the kitchen bar. Rustic finished floors and wood lapped ceilings add more to the warmth of the home. A separate mudroom is the perfect place to drop ski or hiking gear. On the main level is a large master king bed suite with en suite and private deck.



Accessed off the main entry patio through the white door is the separate bunkhouse. With two sets of bunks, a fold out futon and private bath it’s the perfect place for younger people and kids to hangout.



Up the stairs is a loft that you can look over on both sides with additional sleeping accommodations. The first upstairs bedroom has one queen bed; the other has one queen and a twin. Between the two bedrooms is the upstairs, shared bathroom.



Outside relax in the outdoor that over looks the stream that runs through the property, cookout at the gas grill or just enjoy the peace of being tucked away from it all.



Dancing Bear has direct access to the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area and is a short drive to Canaan Valley State Park and Ski Resort, Whitegrass Cross Country Skiing, Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, and Blackwater Falls State Park. Staying in Old Timberline gives you even further access to the area with two canoeing and fishing lakes and additional trails.



OLD TIMBERLINE - 

A private, gated community located in beautiful Canaan Valley. You have access to both Spruce Island Lake and Sand Run Lake in Timberline to canoe and fish at (swimming prohibited by the HOA) and access to the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area.



You will be staying in a private, gated community. Please have a list of everyone that will be staying in the house (first & last names) and vehicle information. A guard house form will be given to you at check-in for you to put the information on that you will give to the guards.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dancing Bears.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dancing Bears. We loved having the hot tub to relax in the evenings, had adequate cooking utensils along with a dishwasher, a large master bedroom and bath. It was excellent accommodations for our family. It was great to work with Matt. He responded within reasonable time with our questions. And he met us at the door when we stopped to get the key.

House is just as described in listing, to include pictures. It was a nice location, quiet, and the hot tub was enjoyed by all. Plenty of space and the extra "side room" was a huge hit with our teenagers (and parents:) Team was fabulous, thank you so much.

The layout.

The layout... The openness of the kitchen and family room.. The master bedroom and bath on the first floor, with the 2 bedrooms upstairs and the additional little bunkhouse was perfect for meeting our family needs. Will definitely rent this property again next year. Loved it?? Everything went smoothly from check in to check out.. Had one small issue with our hot tub and it was taken care of within 30 minutes.. very pleased and look forward to a return visit

Wonderful woodsy retreat! The stream alongside the property is serene and gorgeous.

Wonderful woodsy retreat! The stream alongside the property is serene and gorgeous. This property had all the amenities, including a hot tub! The bed are comfy and all linens and plenty of towels are provided. Our kids loved having the bunkhouse to themselves. Games and puzzles are available as well as a fantastic hottub. The only downsides are that there is zero grassy or flat area outside once you park 2 cars. The chairs at the kitchen table are very low to the ground which made it awkward to sit at. The deck has a pretty view of the woods, but there were only 4 chairs available for a house that sleeps 14? Will definitely stay here again! Terrific team! I received an immediate confirmation of booking. The next day I had the contract to sign and return. A week prior I was sent another confirmation with details on key pick up.

The living room with the big fireplace and the view of the woods is so cozy.

The living room with the big fireplace and the view of the woods is so cozy. We also like the bunk house feature which is a perfect sleeping area for our 2 teens. This was our family's 4th time staying in Dancing Bear and it has been our favorite Timberline house thus far. The location, the views from it and the layout work well for our family. Always very responsive via email and phone. I appreciate all of the detail provided upon booking and when the remaining balance is due.

Cozy and comfortable

The main reason for the 3 stars is because of what we consider to be a safety issue. All swinging doors to the out side require a key to lock and unlock from the inside. The sliding glass door has a stick at the bottom to prevent the door from opening if it is lifted from its lock. This presents an entrapment and major safety hazard in the event of an emergency which can lead to the loss of life and a law suit to the owners. Bunk room is completely separate from and has no access to the main house. In the event of an emergency, a cry for help will go unheard. Additionally occupants must face the elements (snow, wind, rain, cold, etc.) to cross from it to the main house. No phone service to call 911. Cellular connectivity is very spotty and depending on carrier can be non-existing. The house is showing its age and use; loose floor boards, kitchen cabinets that don’t close, etc. In the positive is the location close to the lifts and in a gated community. Excellent area for taking hikes with the dog. Comfortable.

Nice place

The house is quite comfortable. The lighting is pretty dim in the living area. A few more lamps would be nice. The hot tube was a nice surprise I didn't notice in the write up. Not enough towels put out in the bunk room bath area, but I found some left in the dryer. Kitchen was supplied pretty well. Kitchen layout made it a little hard for more than two people to work in it at once. Bunk room beds might be fine for kids, but the adults sleeping on them found them a little uncomfortable. The house is in a beautiful location. Nice to be able to drive right up to Dolly Sods trail head in Timberline. Great deck. Great dining area. Plenty of parking. Nice Mt. Bike Riding from the house and in the area. Overall, very comfortable and enjoyable stay.
