needs more comfortable chairs in living room.

We loved the setting, very secluded yet everything you need is nearby. We had breakfast at the Apple Valley Cafe the first morning, and then did the Bluegrass Brunch at the Bistro the next morning. We were given two $10 breakfast vouchers for each night we stayed which we really appreciated! At the Apple Valley Cafe the food was very good. We both got large breakfast sandwiches and coffee, and with the breakfast vouchers we didn't owe anything. The Bistro was more expensive but we still got $10 off apiece, and it was definitely worth it. The bluegrass band was great and the buffet was top tier (shrimp and grits, sliced ribeye, biscuits and gravy, breakfast meats, eggs, fresh fruit, white chocolate bread pudding, etc. were all divine). All that said, the highlight of the property by far was dinner at the Bistro. We went for a few drinks and dessert the first night and right away loved it. The bartenders were great, service and presentation was top tier. We went for dinner the next night to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. Dinner was delicious, the service and ambience were again excellent, and despite being somewhat pricey we both agreed the quality of the food and dining experience made it well worth it. As for the room itself, the back porch was great to sit out on while we had morning coffee. I loved that there was a kitchenette, full size coffee maker with local artisan coffee provided, as well as coffee mugs, dishes, and silverware. The light in the rooms is great, tons of windows, and tasteful rustic chic decor. We also enjoyed the outdoor apparel store in the little village. We bought a few items and as a promotion they gave us a $20 gift card which we were able to put towards our dinner at the Bistro. Overall, I would recommend Dancing Bear to any couple looking for a relaxed, romantic getaway.

The front of our room was all glass, floor to ceiling windows, which we liked. However, the blinds that gave us privacy were not in very good shape when we arrived. Several were torn, broken, unable to be opened/closed, or hanging awkwardly. I was able to fix them enough to gain some privacy, but given the price of the stay I was surprised to find them in that shape upon arrival. Had this not been the case, I would have rated 10/10.

Comfortable clean log cabin with fire place and hot tub surrounded by trees.

Our stay at this facility was a "Nightmare" The duplex style lodge apparently had a wedding going on and the noise level next door was off the charts. Neighbors had the audacity to complain that we had been smoking in the room. That's a stunning statement from 2 nonsmokers. The staff was of NO help. The room had very little privacy and reminded me of a commercial property. We checked out next day and was given a gift certificate for another stay., after waiting on the manager to return at 1:50 PM to address the issues we had. Why would we want to stay again?

very nice

location was excellent, quite, walking distance to bistro, excellent ground management, supplied coffee from their coffee company was a extra bonus along with complimentary breakfast card.

Location is great. Breakfast was good also. At the check in cabin they have a coffee place that makes excellent coffee. The restaurant is great. Lots of things to do around. They have a bike lane in town so you can bike to places if you like.

The chairs on the balcony were not very comfortable. I would have love to sit in a nice comfy chair and drink my coffee or read a book.

We had a wonderful stay at The Dancing Bear Lodge! It’s a very special and fantastic lodge in Townsend. Our last stay was 14 years ago and we enjoyed it as much as the last time.

Very peaceful location. Everyone was very professional! The dinner at the Bistro was excellent!

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

proximity to the national park and the cabin was super cool

Breakfast at the cafe was excellent. More than any one person could eat. Wonderful setting with individual bungalows close to many different activities. Perfect for a family with 3 young boys.

Bistro and staff are awesome. Good eco bungalow cabins.
