Dancing Bear Den is a beautiful, private cabin nestled among tall hardwood trees and is perched atop Elk Mountain in Asheville, NC. This gorgeous property is located just 1.2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and is a certified National Wildlife Habitat.

Whimsically decorated, it provides a fun space for our youngest guests to enjoy themselves with board games and a children’s library.

The open floor plan of the kitchen, dining area, and great room allows everyone to gather and spend time together. Three living levels gives everyone the opportunity to go find their own quiet space.
