breakfast was average. Location is good.

Dancing Bear is dated. The beds are very uncomfortable. The food was very average. The sun comes in the top windows. The shower was dark. The vanity too small.

"Enjoyed our stay at Dancing Bear Lodge - great location in Great Smoky Mountains."

Location. Comfortable and spacious for our 3 night stay.

The floor under beds could have been dusted. Only noticed because I dropped something and had to retrieve under bed - wouldn’t normally be looking! Would prefer a walk in shower rather than having one over the bath. Could be inaccessible for less able.
