Dancing Bear Den!
In recent years three siblings and their families have enjoyed and shared with you, our Tahoe tourists, a cute, knotty pine cabin named after our 'Papa Bear' who created our family legacy with a Tahoe cabin for summer and winter adventures.

Instead of Papa Bear’s Tahoe Cabin, however, we are so excited now to introduce our new cabin, Dancing Bear Den! The Dancing Bear Den is just a few houses away from our former Papa Bear’s cabin, still has a view ofLake Tahoe, and has more room – and a hot tub!!!

We are sharing the cabin with you to create your own memories - whether family vacation, couple's getaway, honeymoons or ski vacation. The access is fabulous, right on the highway so you won't get stuck in the snow, with a wide, level driveway that can fit four cars and a boat.

Lake View! There's a partial view of Lake Tahoe from the front deck, kitchen, dining and living room.

Features! The cabin can sleep up to 8people. There are two bedrooms downstairs, each with a queen bed, along with a full bath, washer/dryer, kitchen, and living room. There is a large loft bedroom upstairs, with two bunkbeds (full bed on bottom, twin on top) and a full bath. Paneled in knotty pine throughout, Dancing Bear Den is filled with the Tahoe bear décor.

Dog Friendly! There is a completely fenced nice backyard to let your dog out.

No Smoking! Please don't rent this cabin if you are a smoker.

Close to resorts! The cabin is located in the middle of the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, close to Northstar, Homewood, Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley, as well as Tahoe Cross Country Ski Center. Many more ski areas are within an hour's drive. There are beaches across the North Shore, public bus access right out the front door, restaurants and shopping within minutes.

This cabin opens the door to a wonderful world of Tahoe adventures.

    Stayed at this VRBO for a weekend snow trip and had an amazing time. It looks just like the photos, is in a great location, and the host was very quick to reply to any questions that I had.

    We were absolutely in love with this property!! It was well kept and clean, everything worked and it felt super welcoming. They went above and beyond and had toys for kids and board games for adults. Perfect location and plenty of room. Beautiful view of the lake and lots of open windows to see it. Can’t wait to stay here again!!

    Our stay at Dancing Bear Den was wonderful. Our family enjoyed our stay in the quaint house that met the needs of the whole family. There was plenty of space inside and out for 6 adults and 2 teens. We particularly enjoyed the fenced yard where we could hang out and enjoy the hot tub. The little peek through the trees at the lake is nice. We would absolutely stay again.

    This was a wonderful place to stay, the cabin is very cozy, comfortable and has all the amenities we needed. We loved how dog friendly the place was, they had dog bowls to use, a fenced in yard area and didn’t ask any annoying follow-up questions about dog breeds. The location is beautiful and it’s a short drive to Tahoe City and Carnelian Bay. The next time I’m planning a vacation in Tahoe I’ll definitely be looking to stay here again.

    Our family of 4 had a great ski week in the cabin. Great location to get to Alpine and Palisades. We enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub. Bunk bed room worked well for our family, but worth noting the room is a loft above living room. Would definitely consider staying here again.

    My friends and I had an amazing time at this cabin! It was so cozy yet spacious and was perfect for our winter weekend trip to Tahoe. The hot tub was such a nice plus on top of it all. Would recommend!

    We stayed in Carnelian Bay from December 30 to January 4, and it was the perfect time for a getaway. First of all, Ted had beautifully decorated the house for Christmas, complete with a Christmas tree and festive decorations throughout, which made the space feel warm and cozy right away.The house was well-equipped with everything listed in the description. However, one suggestion for improvement would be to add a few more kitchen essentials, such as salad bowls, glasses, pots, and paper towels. While it was just the four of us staying as a family, the house is advertised to accommodate eight people, and these items might not be sufficient if you plan to cook at home for a larger group.On January 3, during a blizzard, my boys went outside to shovel the parking area and clean off the cars. To our surprise, a man arrived shortly afterward, told us not to worry about it, and used a snow removal machine to clear everything for us.Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and I would love to come back and stay at this house again.
