If you’re looking for a quiet and cozy spot to relax, this is the place. The walking paths on the property were beautiful as well.

This is our third year coming here and we just keep finding new things to love every time-- the perfect place to unplug and get away from it all!

This property is a nature paradise with trails and native flora. The Salmon River adjoins the property and is just a short walk away. The property also adjoins a nature preserve and it is a great place to hike. The owners are very nice. It is very quiet and peaceful. It also has a full kitchen which is nice. We took our dog and he loved walking the property.

Great little cabin with awesome walks!

Dancing Bear Cottage is quaint, charming, has everything one needs, and the setting is truly ‘out of this world’. The owners are delightful and add to the enchanted experience. The beautiful, quiet, nature-filled setting is a blessing for anyone wishing peace, healing and restoration of body, mind, and spirit: a welcome respite from stresses of city life! Look forward to the opportunity to stay again, hopefully for a longer length of time! Thank you Monica and Mark for sharing your piece/peace of Heaven!

Set the stay at Mark and Monica‘s property was wonderful. Very comfortable accommodations with beautiful scenery. Mark and Monica are wonderful hosts. We can’t wait to go back next year.

I wanted a quiet little spot for myself and my dog, just to get away for a few days. Thought I might leave the property to check out the area, but once I got there I realized everything I wanted was right outside my back door. The place is magical, there are trails everywhere, little creeks, waterfalls, a river, lots of bridges, and moss covered trees everywhere. The hosts are fantastic, and the house is so quaint and comfortable… what a beautiful place to wake up in the morning. I will definitely be coming back!

This was our second visit and we just love it. The property is amazing…access to the Salmon river, several hiking paths, babbling streams, and you don’t have to leave the property. The cottage is just the right size for the two of us and our pup. Well appointed kitchen and very clean. And the hosts are extremely responsive to questions. It was a great base to come back to after exploring Hood River and traveling the Fruit Loop. I can’t say enough about how magical this cottage truly is. We’ll be back again and again!

What a magical place! We wanted a place in the woods to totally disconnect and spend time together relaxing and exploring; this was place was perfect. A small, cozy cottage on a wonderful property. The short hike to the Salmon river, which was larger than expected, afforded us wonderful mornings of peaceful soundscapes and wildlife watching. We watched the salmon that had spawned returning back home after their arduous journey upstream. A picnic blanket draped over the large fallen tree at waters edge offered the perfect vantage point and romantic rendezvous. Walking the grounds is a must but taking the walk to the river should not be missed. There are so many things to do in the area. We hiked, we read, we napped. An early morning visit from six deer while gazing through the expansive diamond mullioned windows made us feel completely surrounded by nature. The cozy propane stove not only gave rustic ambiance but was a quite adept at heating the small space. WIFI was great, but we tried to only use it to settle arguments about who sang "that" song. The lack of a TV was perfect, and the proximity to the local Thriftway (grocery store) was very convenient. We will be back, as we can't wait to visit while it is blanketed in snow. If we could only pick a few words to describe our stay, they would be...Magical, Wild, Tranquil, and Romantic. If your desire is to hole up in nature and forget about everything going on in the world for a bit, this is the perfect place. Side Note: The bumpy part of the dirt road leading to the cottage that many reviews mention is pretty short and we traversed it fine driving slowly in our Kia Soul.

We rented this one bedroom cottage with family members staying at other properties near by. We had access to the river on easy to traverse trails and a large Pavillion (the pavilion we did not know about until the last day of our stay) The pavilion will be great for our next stay!

This was our second time staying at the cottage and we expect to be come back many more! Such a beautiful space to relax in and explore, plus so many hikes and activities all around!

This is a nice little cabin on a beautiful property. The cabin was clean & the bed was comfortable. The location is perfect to explore the area. The grounds are outstanding, and we really enjoyed exploring the paths. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Charming quiet cottage.

Charming quiet cottage.

It snowed while we were on the property--beautiful to look out the window into the woods and to tramp around in the morning. Simple cottage, dog friendly, Spartan though comfortable.

The cottage is cute and the fireplace/stove is lovely to fall asleep to, but the big winner is the expansive outdoor area with winding trails, river, streams, moss-covered forest... it's like something out of Disney!

The cottage was cozy and comfortable, and the surrounding property was beautiful. We felt the cottage needed a little more of a deep clean, but other than that, we really enjoyed the stay!

Very nice

I stayed four nights in this amazing cottage. All the comforts of home with an included stream and river! It has a large forest setting directly out the back door. Kids would love this for running around! Had a fantastic time and will be going back. Thank you to the hosts Mark and Monica as well!
