“If you’re searching for a place to stay around the Smokey Mountains, you’ve found the best place- Dancing Bear! My Husband and I stayed at Dancing Bear in Townsend for our honeymoon and it was the best experience we’ve had. The cabin was clean, easy to get to, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. They offered complimentary bikes to take on trails and had a very nice hot tub on the porch that was so peaceful.The town of Townsend can still accommodate your travel needs with the Cades Cove winery, coffee shops, beautiful trails to hike, and cute shops but it is crowded with crazy traffic. If I could give our whole Townsend experience more stars, I would! The bistro was also hands down the best food we’ve had in our trip! The chicken is the best chicken I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend Dancing Bear and the bistro enough!“
“Very charming place to come and enjoy a beverage with your friends and family. There’s a convenient playground for kids to stay entertained so you and your group are able to chat a bit. There is ample outdoor spaces and quite a diverse menu. I have always encountered friendly staff and other patrons. I absolutely love the complimentary soda machine. It’s a really cool place.“
“We went for their Fall Festival. Unfortunately, one person in our party fell I'll and we had to leave shortly after arriving.However, we have been there before. Lots of vendors for this. Fun food and live entertainment. Except for $10 parking per vehicle, it is free. Can be very hot at times, as it was this time. Wear a hat.“
“We stayed at The Guest House, the staff deices you down the hill to The Barn. Dinner was four courses, with five dishes to choose among for each course. The Beverage Menu is a 290 page PDF on a tablet. I studied it online before dinner, selected a very well-priced Jaboulet. Started with a glass of Champagne. A whiskey with dessert. Lovely.“
“This place is not the same place I visited years ago. I love that we stopped in here to discover a completely new restaurant. Service from Sadie M. started out great with getting our drinks and getting our order. The food came and OMG was it good. More food that we thought we were going to get. I was the only one to finish it all. I ordered a cat fish po'boy. It was made perfect with a butter grilled hoagie with so much stuff I could not close it. The wife ordered a burger that was huge. Mom got a shrimp and okra basket. Everyone was so very pleased. Something happened to our waitress Sadie but when the other waitresses noticed us looking around for her they kicked into gear and picked up the slack. Kudos to the staff for the excellent cover. We all look forward to trying more here.Parking: Limited spots in the front of the building, lots of parking in the back.“
“My husband, daughter and I had dinner here and it was the best food we had on our entire trip! The establishment was beautiful, the food was delicious, the staff (host, hostess, waitress...everyone) were extremely nice, and the service was superb. Definitely recommend!“
