Great Stay!

Our family stayed here while visiting Bryson City and were very satisfied. The house is close to town which was nice so we could get out and about. The house had everything we needed and all the games were a huge hit for my teens. Also, the king bed was extremely comfortable which hardly ever happens when traveling out of town. I would recommend to anyone!

Polar Express

Great stay

We had a great stay at Dancing Bear. The home was spotless upon arrival and very well furnished. The large dining table was appreciated. Alex provided us excellent communication at all times, even providing firewood delivered when I mentioned we were in need. It was a nice touch and saved us time hunting it down. Would definitely return in the future if our travels take us back to this beautiful area.

Fantastic!!

Great house with all of the amenities you may need. The coffee bar was exceptional, and the host(s) were very helpful and quick to respond to our needs. Further, our six kids, aged 7-17, loved the basement and the bears den was really cool!! We plan on staying here if we’re in the Bryson City area again.

Everything you could want

Dancing Bear Lodge was perfect for our group of 8. We had all ages from infant to adults and there was something for everyone. House was very large and spacious, and has all of the amenities. Anything I thought I was missing it turned out I just had to keep looking. For example spices, seasoning, pots all you could ask for. Will recommend to friends and am already looking to book another stay.

Great Cabin! Great Location!

Dancing Bear Lodge was a perfect place to host a group of fly fishing friends! Plenty of bedrooms and private space for adults. Amazing amenities—the game room and pool table especially. The cabin was spotless; the kitchen was well-stocked; and the dining table was wonderful for meals and conversation.We all enjoyed the view from the porch. Alex, the host, was fantastic—easy to contact and quick to reply! The location is perfect for folks who want to visit Bryson City, the Nantahala, Cherokee, or the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Book this property—you’ll love it.

A Wonderful Weekend Getaway!

We stayed here for our annual weekend trip to ride the Polar Express with our family and friends. The house had everything we could possibly want, including 8 different ways to make coffee in the morning! A parent of young kids dream! It rained during our stay, but there was so much to do at the house we didn’t have to worry. We definitely plan to be back for our annual trip next year. It was the perfect vacation home for our needs!

5 Star Experience!

First off, the owner (Alex) is so responsive and helpful. Not just with the home itself, but things to do and the area. The location of the home isn’t difficult to get to, it’s not far from the highway, or major cities for exploring. The home was superior - the coffee bar was my favorite and we enjoyed the game room as well. Was a family vacation to remember and a beautiful stay!

Nothing Short of Amazing

My family and I take a Thanksgiving mountain trip every year for the past 6 years, and we all agreed this was by far the best cabin that we have stayed in for our trip. There was great communication with any questions we had. The property was stocked with everything you could need/want. I am not a coffee drinker, but the coffee drinkers in my family were highly impressed with the coffee bar that was on each floor. The children absolutely loved the children's den! Beds were comfortable, and the property itself was easy to access and close to numerous small towns to explore! Highly recommend!

After Christmas with family

Loved everything about this place except a couple of things. Only two working pool sticks, one video game that was ones persons favorite was not working, the basketball goal electronics did not work until we decided to change the batteries. A master bath sink was clogged. We were a family of 11 and had enough bedrooms for all! It was very spacious and was stocked very well! We absolutely loved the coffee bars, the different options of games.

We had a quick family getaway at this lovely house equipped with everything you need to have a great experience. It's close to the south entrance to the Smokey's and within minutes of groceries and restaurants. The house is exactly as describe in the listing. The accommodations are comfortable and relaxing. The hot tub wand grill were in good condition, and the fire place was easy to use (note: please check the firewood supply as we had to get our own).

Our stay was awesome! The lodge provided all the space and privacy needed for babies to sleep, and grown ups too! The older kids had a blast with the basketball game and the arcade games. we all enjoyed the pool table! We had meals together at the huge dining table. We all loved having our own bathrooms connected to our bedrooms. It was easy for grandma and papa to get in and out of the house from the carport or the downstairs entrance. The hot tub was a huge hit with all of us! The mattress on our bed slept so well! We will book here again! Thank you for the delicious, complimentary coffee, teas, and hot chocolate.
