Overview
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, this home was renovated in 2024 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 Napoleon gas grill on the deck for the chef in the family! The main level is at driveway level, meaning two bedrooms, the full bathroom, kitchen, Great Room, and covered back deck are all accessible without stairs — making this a family-friendly option for guests traveling with elderly parents or anyone with mobility issues. 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.

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 a 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 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.

The home was welcoming and comfortable. The covered porch a beautiful place to relax. Beautiful setting!
The location is beautiful. The house was very comfortable for three families: Mom and Dad, Sis and family, Brother and family, 11 in all. We enjoyed every minute!
I was impressed at all the amenities and equipment provided at this house. It’s clear the owners use the house as it’s stocked with all kinds of creature comforts. Lots of great furniture, decor, beds for many people and space for a decent size group. Plenty of outdoor furniture, fire pit and a nice porch. Golf cart was great. It was a comfortable home that did not feel like a rental. Great views from the porch, close to the club house, Greystone inn, lake and golf course. Will definitely stay here again.
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!
The new owners have done a wonderful job updating the decor and creating a cozy and comfort feel!
Quality place. Spacious and still cozy. We were there in summer so didn't take advantage of multiple fire pits or the large hot tub but will on next trip soon. Can't miss with this rental.
