From the owner: "Good afternoon, Daisy. I'm glad you all enjoyed the cabin and the hot tub as well! We are glad we purchased the new jacuzzi tub last year. We thoroughly enjoy it ourselves with the peaceful setting out back."
Really enjoyed our 3 night escape from the heat and humidity of Wilmington! Dancing bear cabin is very well kept, clean, comfortable and welcoming. Owner is very pleasant and helpful. Back deck with jacuzzi hot tub was made for a rainy weekend ! Cabin is well stocked with magazines, board games and kitchen has all the tools you could need. Very quiet area. We would and will rent again!
From the owner: "Gene, I'm sorry it rained but it sounds like you all enjoyed the hot tub out back. I love the isolation as all you see is trees! Once I was back there and a brown eagle flew in and landed on a tree. He was huge and beautiful! The wild turkey like to talk back and forth around dinner time, ha! No bears yet, thankfully!"
Very comfortable and had everything that you could possibly need.
