- RReshma R06/02/2024Perfect in every way with great hospitality ! Perfect in every way with great hospitality !Dancing Bear Lodge was perfect in every way. Beautiful location, clean and great hospitality! The breakfast basket was a good touch. The cabin is beautiful with all amenities. We even saw hundreds of fireflies outside our cabin on one night. So magical. Loved the Appalachian bistro too. The creme brûlée was so amazing that I ordered it on every night I stayed there. The trout and risotto was cooked to perfection and the service was outstanding.Dancing Bear Lodge was perfect in every way. Beautiful location, clean and great hospitality!
