Beautiful Mountain House

The home was very comfortable and everything we expected. Be prepared to drive up some windy sleep curves that would be my only draw back. We are from Florida so it was scary for us. The layout of the home gave everyone privacy which was great. Beautiful sunset and lots of rocking chairs to enjoy.

Great cozy option

Spent four nights with our teens and dog for spring break. Hiked great smokies, blue ridge parkway, walked the lake junalaska (adorable area), ate in waynesville. Had a really great time bonding as a family; we were sad to leave ! Positives: view is great. You are a little set back with some trees in front of the hour but the views are lovely. Hot tub and fire pit set up are great. Stocked kitchen. Cozy and comfortable. Drive up mountain is intimidating first time but it’s paved and totally doable! Things we would change: the bear theme is taken to the next level. There were many items like stuffed animals bears all over the house that just leave the impression of being dust collectors. partly this is just person taste though. Also, given the amazing location on top of the mountain, the house is not build to maximize the view. It is generally dark as the deck is covered and the windows are better on the second level. Couldn’t see much from the kitchen and main downstairs family area. The deck is where you need to be to enjoy the views The pictures are very accurate.

Family Time

The owners have gone to great lengths to create a home away from home. This place was gorgeous and yet comfortable. It sincerely felt like walking into 'home'. The decorative bear details were throughout and such fun to note each one. We are a cooking family and this home's kitchen was fully stocked! There was nothing we didn't have. It was wonderful! We are also avid readers and there was an area upstairs perfectly suited for reading in comfort. The view was breathtaking...the sunsets...oh my! Bird feeders hanging from the deck with bird seed available so we could enjoy the sweet birds. There was firewood and kindling for the fabulous outdoor fireplace which we thoroughly enjoyed! The grill was cook ready with a full gas tank. All in all, we had the most amazing family time from cooking together in the kitchen to playing games around the coffee table with a fire glowing in the fireplace, to soaking in the hot tub on the brisk evenings with a fire crackling nearby and then sitting out around the fire other evenings just chatting and sharing each other's space. Theses owners didn't miss a detail. We fell in love with this place and have promised to return! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy this lovely place. Many sweet memories were made that we will treasure for years to come. Until next time....The Volpe Clan

Beautiful cabin and View

Checking into our cabin was a breeze. The cabin was beautiful. All bedrooms were on separate floors with on suite bathrooms, which gave each couple complete privacy. The view was absolutely breathtaking. We cooked breakfast every morning and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils. I would definitely stay here again.

My family and I travel every year to the surrounding area & by far this is one of my favorite cabins. It is the first time I have considered going back to the same property again. Super clean & amazing view. Plenty of room & pet friendly. Thanks for a wonderful stay for my family. Looking forward to our next trip!

Great home with great views. The pictures do not do it justice. The outdoor fireplace and hot tub are awesome. Our kids loved the giant playground, playhouse and streams at the bottom of the mountain when you enter the community. Excellent.

Kithen amenities perfect. Bathrooms clean. Living areas more than enough for 10, we had 4. Beds comfortable. Outside hot tub and fireplace amazing. Very quiet top of the mountain. Driveway steep but manageable. Views beyond compare. It's definitely a 10 out of 10.

Beautiful and comfortable mountain house

My family and I loved our time at Dancing Bear. It was very clean and we loved all of the touches that made us feel at home! We especially enjoyed the deck! We spent most of our days in the Smoky Mountains. It was a bit of a drive, but we loved coming back to relax on the deck and enjoyed the fireplace and the hot tub. There was plenty of room for us and we had everything we needed for the week.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is well designed for a family gathering - all the bedrooms and bathrooms were private with a nice, open kitchen/dining room/living room to hang out together in. The hot tub and outdoor fireplace were thoroughly enjoyed - we suggest you have the firewood delivered. The kitchen was very well stocked - I think the only thing missing was a tablespoon measure... and bring Tupperware or plastic bags - but that’s it - everything else was waiting for us. The house seemed bigger and more well laid out than the pictures show. Great location - very steep hills getting to the house but our SUV handled them fine. We’d all stay here again.

Dancing Bear Lodge

The property was beautiful! The cabin is situated in a position that provides privacy and seclusion, while just minutes away from downtown Maggie Valley. The cabin was clean and comfortable, it has plenty of kitchen appliances and cookware to make cooking easy and with a great view. The upstairs bedrooms view of the valley below was extremely picturesque. We didn't want to leave the cabin the whole week we were there. We can't wait to go back again next spring and fall.
