I was looking to book this entire property for my wedding next year. After 2 requests through their website, and 2 weeks with no response, I decided to visit the property. My fiance and I got there behind another couple, we all walked into the main lodge room together. We took ourselves on a self-guided tour while waiting for someone... more

Nice overnight stay and good meal, but think twice before planning an event or wedding at the lodge. Getting someone to return your call or even act like they care is next to impossible. The affiliation puts Blackberry Farms in a shameful light. more

We visited Townsend, TN to spend the weekend hiking in the Smokies. Dancing Bear Lodge offered a comfortable, secluded stay very close to the park. Rooms were clean and overall the lodge was quiet. The lower level rooms are subject to the noise of the back porch where people gather for drinks at night. I would recommend staying on the... more

My wife and I stayed at the Dancing Bear for a couple of nights in March '08 as part of a US road trip to celebrate our 50th birthdays. We did enjoy our stay, and returned to the UK with good memories. However, nine months later, I discovered that the Lodge decided to charge my credit card $260 for a... more

Whether you choose to spend your time on the property or visit... more

The setting was beautiful, accommodations were excellent and the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The food was also excellent. The... more

This hotel is clearly represented on it's website. It's "one-bedroom" cabin is actually a one room cabin with the refrigerator right next to the bed and the jacuzzi tub in the living area. There is no walk in closet as advertised, just a small armoir. The bathroom is TINY with cheap appliances and fixtures. The kitchen is poorly equipped. There... more

We went back for three nights after two years. The place is beautiful. My family of four stay in the 2 bedroom cabins and they are great. The restaurant is "lick the plate clean" good. Even my kids, who are picky, loved everything. The bring out smores every night and you can roast them on the outside patio. There are... more

We stayed at Dancing Bear to celebrate our anniversary. It is a beautiful setting in the woods and trails to walk. The landscaping is beautiful. The cabin was extremely comfortable and the interiors lovely, but more than that it has an enchanting quality about it. You really don't want to leave to go to the Lodge, except that the restaurant... more
