About this house rental
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.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Feb 2023
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.

It was good. Getting together with old friends from WVU. Very little interaction.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jan 2023
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.
