Great Weekend Getaway

This cabin was the perfect weekend getaway for a total of 8 friends and one dog. The cabin was clean, beautiful, and spacious. The porch view was amazing, the kitchen was perfectly stocked and the fire pit was a great added bonus. Wonderful experience.

Polar Express

11 family members met up to ride the polar express and enjoy time together. House was exactly as described and location was excellent. We rode the train in Bryson City, hiked at Deep Creek, and saw elk in Cherokee. At end of day enjoyed warming up in the hot tub. Great trip!

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!

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 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.

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.
