Dancing Bear Lodge Reviews
Summary: Great stay. Twin Creeks #2 was well appointed and well maintained. Very hot and humid during our stay, but the wall AC was able to keep up. May be worth changing the porch lights to focus a cone of light on the ground to reduce the light pollution, but nothing bad to say about the visit. Dinner at the Appalachian Bistro was great, breakfast at Apple Valley Cafe was solid, set up well for hiking in the Smokies.

Summary: Beautiful cabin and great food. I have a bad knee and the staff at the restaurant made me park in the gravel, which was a little scary to walk over with a big dog. However, everything else was great and I will be back.

Summary: Wonderful "hidden" resort, with a perfect location. Our cabin was spotless and had everything we needed. We had dinner and Sunday brunch, both were amazing. The staff in the office, the coffee shop and restaurant could not have been any better. We are already planning our next trip.
