My husband and I stayed two nights at the Dancing Bear Lodge. It's the perfect getaway! About 1 hour from Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Knoxville, we enjoyed the peacefulness of feeling like we were in the middle of nowhere. Even just driving up I could already feel myself relaxing! We ate both nights at the lodge, also, and the food... More

We spent four nights in a cabin over Memorial Day weekend and it was a wonderful stay! Our Cabin felt quite and secluded, we spent our evenings on the porch swing taking in the solitude and sipping a glass of wine or enjoying the hot tube. The feather bed was heaven after some long hikes through the Smokies and our... More

Was passing thru, couldn't find a room anywhere. Had the local visitors center call around for us. Only place was Dancing Bear Lodge which had one cabin available. Went over, staff very friendly. Lodge was very nice. They let us preview the cabin before deciding. Cabin was expensive but nothing was available short of driving into Pigeon Forge so we... More

Very comfortable bed, clean room with nice bath. Keurig coffee machines in the room, nice rockers on the front porch of our little cabin. The only thing that could be improved upon was the breakfast. The quiche was cold, and the bacon could have been cooked more. Also, a little more variety would have been nice. The staff was friendly,... More

Nice place but we got no maid service until almost 6 at night, had hardly any hit water, enough to fill the tub about 5 inches deep and the tub stopper would not work. The good was a yummy breakfast and the character of the place.

The DBL is, as a friend of mine says, "like finding a diamond in a goat's ear." I mean no offense to the fine folks of Townsend, TN, but the DBL is an unexpected gem of a hotel. The atmosphere of the operation might be called "refined rustic." The owner went to considerable trouble to furnish the DBL, lobby, rooms,... More

We stayed here for an overnight getaway and I could not be happier with our accommodations, service, and the dining. Check-in was a smooth process, we were early and had to wait until 3:00 PM to check in since the hotel was at capacity the night before. This wasn't a problem since we decided to drive to Cades Cove and... More

We stayed in one of the cabins while attending a wedding at a nearby resort. The accommodations were shabby, and the hotel staff was very hard to track down (we arrived around midnight and there were no employees on duty). Our friends stayed in the lodge and had a much better experience. I wouldn't turn anyone away, but I certainly... More

We stayed here for a rehersal dinner and we were quite impressed. We had the Lodge which had the upstairs bedroom which was amazing and comfortable. Her mom and sister slept in the downstairs bathroom with the jacuzzi. Having the full kitchen plus the fireplace and seating area made downstair space feel big and open. We used the hot tub... More

Absolutely wonderful place, we stayed in the Leconte cabin. It was the VIP cabin and perfect for our anniversary. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. The food was great. We would definitely go back.
