I loved the secluded setting of this lodge. It felt like a true getaway, but still had all the amenities nearby. The breakfast at the Apple Valley Cafe was decent, with a variety of options to choose from. The highlight, however, was the Bluegrass Brunch at the Bistro. The food was top-tier and the live music made for a delightful experience. The room itself was cozy, with a lovely back porch to enjoy morning coffee. The kitchenette was a great addition, and the rustic chic decor added to the overall charm. I also enjoyed browsing the outdoor apparel store in the village and taking advantage of the promotional gift card we received.

Nothing to fault.

Our stay at Dancing Bear Lodge was an absolute gem! The value for the money was outstanding, with a beautiful cabin that had attention to every detail and stunning views of the treetops. The location was perfect, secluded yet close to nearby attractions, and the staff treated us with such warmth and helpfulness.

Hotel breakfast could have been improved with better cleanliness. The floors felt dirty and we discovered a filthy area under a nightstand when we moved it.

We had an amazing time at the lodge! The location was perfect, with a bike path nearby for scenic rides, and an event center for evening entertainment. We loved grabbing a cup of coffee at the new coffee shop in the front of the property, and the staff provided excellent service throughout our stay. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. We also enjoyed the beautiful view from the outdoor seating at the Bistro, where we had some incredible dinners.

The only downside was the limited parking space near the restaurant, which occasionally made it difficult to find a spot.

Beautiful cabins, outstanding setting and menu, great welcome basket, quiet location, beautifully decorated cabins, super comfortable.

There was nothing I didn't like.

The cabins were nicely tucked away amongst the trees, offering us privacy that we loved. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The setting was beautiful and peaceful, with rocking chairs on the front porch. The breakfast had a lot of variety and the homemade granola and banana muffins were especially delicious.

Felt like in a fairy, no complaints whatsoever.

The location of this lodge was perfect for those looking to escape the busyness of Gatlinburg. It's nestled in a beautiful wooded area, providing a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The cabins themselves were comfortable and clean, and the furnishings were lovely. I especially enjoyed sitting on the back deck, which had a hot tub, swing, and rocking chairs. It was the perfect spot to relax after a long day. Additionally, the staff was friendly and helpful, replenishing our woodpile and towels daily.

One downside of our stay was that the less formal restaurant closed at 7 pm. It would have been great if the restaurant stayed open later to accommodate guests who wanted to explore the area.

As a young family, we loved the cozy fireplace in our room and the supplied firewood. The room was clean and had a modern rustic decor. The kitchenette was perfect for cooking our meals. The location was great with plenty of activities nearby. The breakfast was amazing with a variety of homemade treats and locally roasted coffee.

Felt cozy, no reason to complain.

Can't fault anything about it.

The location of the lodge is fantastic, close to Smokies and Maryville. The nearby coffee shop and restaurant are very convenient.

Felt like being at home, nothing too much trouble.

Great staff, good breakfast, friendly atmosphere, convenient location, comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen.

Nothings.

As women traveling alone, we loved the lovely woodland surroundings, the cozy verandah with rocking chairs, and the abundance of tea and coffee. The comfy bed ensured a restful night's sleep, and the private deck facing the woods provided a peaceful retreat.

Felt lucky, no complaints at all.

We recently stayed at a wonderful lodge nestled in the Smoky Mountains. The cabin we had was absolutely perfect - cozy and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to a fireplace with regular wood deliveries. The location was ideal, allowing us easy access to hiking trails and avoiding the congestion of popular tourist areas. We were able to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery surrounded by nature. The complimentary continental breakfast at the lodge's bistro exceeded our expectations with its fresh and delicious offerings. we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this lodge for a peaceful and comfortable getaway.

Felt homely, nothing to complain about.

dancing bear lodge was a perfect stay - quiet and beautiful grounds, authentic feel of the area, clean rooms with everything we needed, great food at the upscale restaurant, and friendly staff. will definitely be back!

Parking near the restaurant was inconvenient.

We loved the secluded setting and proximity to amenities. The breakfast vouchers were a nice touch and the food at Apple Valley Cafe and the Bluegrass Brunch at the Bistro was delicious. Dinner at the Bistro was a highlight, with great service and ambiance. The room was comfortable with a lovely back porch and kitchenette. The outdoor apparel store was a bonus, with a promotion that gave us a gift card to use at the Bistro.

Felt like a relaxing home away from home, no complaints whatsoever.
