About this property

Dancing Bear Cabin


Fall colors, bonfires and s’mores! A beautiful, secluded log cabin. This is your destination for family and friends to reconnect in the beauty and quiet of nature. All the modern amenities with the rustic charm of ‘up north’ life. Two levels give you plenty of room to stretch out and relax. A dedicated office area lets you spend some time at work. Watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the screened in porch on rocking chairs. Enjoy the fire pit and a game of corn hole on our spacious 20 acres. Remember to bring your fishing rod to test your luck in the pond. The pond is 20 feet deep with approximately 5 feet of shallow around the edge. There is also a small dock to fish off. The main floor has a full working kitchen and three bedrooms with two bathrooms. There's also a loft area with bunk beds and a futon perfect for kids in the summer. The loft has its own A/C and heating unit. The bottom level features a pool table, a 65-inch tv with DVD player and another bathroom. You may not want to leave but there's much to enjoy in the area. Kayak on the Ausable River just 10 minutes away or the Rifle River 15 minutes away. Want a bigger lake? Lake Huron is 40 minutes from the cabin, but Long Lake and Alcona Damn Pond is half the distance where there's public access for boats. There’re also two beautiful golf courses in Glennie, Eagle Ridge and Hale, Wickard Hills minutes away. If ATV trails are what you need, the South Branch Trails for ATVs and snowmobiles is just 2 miles away. Don't miss a chance to star gaze, according to the Bortle Dark Sky scale we are at a 2 for darkness. Unless you're in the middle of Lake Michigan it doesn't get any better than that! Make sure you download the Star Chart app that tells you the names of the constellations you'll be seeing on a clear night. Dancing Bear Cabin is the perfect place to make memories with family and friends. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

Welcome to our retirement home. We don’t plan on retiring for a few years yet, hopefully sooner rather than later, until then please enjoy our home as much as we do. We’re born and raised Michiganders and have friends who live in the immediate area. We spend as much time as we can here with friends and family, making memories and enjoying being together. We hope you do the same!
