Here Are A Few Reflections From Our Past Guests:

“We had a wonderful stay at Dave’s place, especially since our first rental canceled on us! We appreciated their prompt response in a time-sensitive situation. The cabin had everything we needed, was bright, well decorated without being over the top, the bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was well-appointed, and the heated floors and outdoor firepit were great bonuses. We enjoyed the solitude, the views, and the setting were fantastic, and the hospitality from both our hosts was very inviting. The location of the cabin provided the solitude we were looking for and yet we were able to still enjoy a number of hikes and views and towns, etc. I will definitely come back and will be telling others about this place…..!” -Jeffrey


“This was the most amazing week. It was relaxing and the views were absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We will definitely be back!”- Jessica

“This is a beautiful place to stay, rewind and relax. The house is fully equipped with everything you need to feel at home.” -Susan
Just stayed with Dave and Callie up at River Dance and OMG. My wife and I talked about our stay all the way home (3 1/2 hours) and finally decided upon 3 words to describe our getaway.
1. Quaint – We’ve stayed at both of their rentals – River Haven and Sky View. Both rental properties were clean, and beautiful, and embraced what you would expect to find in the mountains of NC. The view from the bed in Sky View is absolutely Amazing ! !
2. Rejuvenating – When you enter the Bear River Lodge property in many ways the stress and craziness of the world get put on hold. Whether you’re sitting on the deck at River Haven drinking morning coffee, hanging in a hammock, or listening to the sounds of Big Laurel River it’s easy to turn off the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
3. Heavenly – I think this word is the most fitting to describe our stay. The mountains, Appalachian Trail, Max Patch, Big Pillow Brewery, downtown Marshall, and Hot Springs Resort (tub 15) all of which made our stay phenomenal.
River Dance will always be our home away from home in the mountains of NC. We can’t wait to come back again- in October.” – Bob and Mia
