Log Bear Den at Dancing Pines Retreat • A Luxury Log Home & Pet Friendly.

Welcome to Log Bear Den, one of two private accommodations at Dancing Pines Retreat in the beautiful Avon Hills of Central Minnesota.

Leave the rush of the world behind.

Tucked beneath towering dancing pines and surrounded by a variety of mature trees, Log Bear Den has its own private entrance and offers a peaceful place to rest, reconnect, and unwind.

While enjoying your morning coffee, you may spot deer, fox, wood ducks, mallards, blue herons, eagles, hawks, songbirds, bunnies, and turtles sunning themselves on the pond rocks.
Above it all, the gentle swaying of the towering dancing pines, the soft rustling of the surrounding trees, and the soothing splash of the pond fountain create a peaceful soundtrack to your stay.

Many guests tell us they begin to relax almost immediately after settling in, and we hope you'll enjoy feeling rested, refreshed, and renewed.

Privacy is one of the things guests appreciate most. While we share the same log home, your accommodation has its own private entrance, outdoor living area, and designated parking. We value your privacy and want you to feel completely at home throughout your stay.
