The home was very comfortable and everything we expected. Be prepared to drive up some windy sleep curves that would be my only draw back. We are from Florida so it was scary for us. The layout of the home gave everyone privacy which was great. Beautiful sunset and lots of rocking chairs to enjoy.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great, relaxing cabin with all the amenities. Lots of room, well laid out, the pictures don't do it justice. 10 mins to downtown Waynesville & approx 40 mins to Asheville. Steep climb to get to house and up the drive - might be tricky in the snow, but also made for a private setting. Have rented many cabins in the NC / North GA area, and would definitely rent Dancing Bear again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Invited our children to spend a week with us in the mountains of NC. Three granddaughters from 1-3 were with us. The three stories made it comfortable for all. The house was very clean. It was probably the best-stocked rental I have ever used. The views from the porch and windows were amazing. We built a fire on the outside patio and made s'mores. Adults enjoyed the hot tub. I don't think we could have found a better place. We would definitely recommend the Dancing Bear to anyone and I hope we can return in the future.

Spent four nights with our teens and dog for spring break. Hiked great smokies, blue ridge parkway, walked the lake junalaska (adorable area), ate in waynesville. Had a really great time bonding as a family; we were sad to leave ! Positives: view is great. You are a little set back with some trees in front of the hour but the views are lovely. Hot tub and fire pit set up are great. Stocked kitchen. Cozy and comfortable. Drive up mountain is intimidating first time but it’s paved and totally doable! Things we would change: the bear theme is taken to the next level. There were many items like stuffed animals bears all over the house that just leave the impression of being dust collectors. partly this is just person taste though. Also, given the amazing location on top of the mountain, the house is not build to maximize the view. It is generally dark as the deck is covered and the windows are better on the second level. Couldn’t see much from the kitchen and main downstairs family area. The deck is where you need to be to enjoy the views The pictures are very accurate.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was very spacious, with gorgeous decks and views. We especially enjoyed the outdoor fireplace on chilly evenings. This gated community was the most beautiful we've ever stayed at. The decor was not the best part, with the "bear" theme way overdone...sort of a massive collection of garage sale bears. But overall, excellent choice.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful week with family and friends at Dancing Bear vacation rental in the gated Smoky Mountain Retreat Community. The rooms were spacious and accommodating, very clean and comfortable, and full of welcoming amenities. The rental included everything a family would need for a satisfying stay. From kitchen amenities to board games and outside amenities like hot tub, fire place, bbq grill to multiple level decks with a variety and plentiful amount of outdoor furniture including rocking chairs, we couldn’t have wanted anything more! In addition, the place was spotless inside and out. The location of the property was higher up on the mountain than prior rentals so we had to get used to driving the switchbacks since we are from very flat Florida. The views from the outside decks were amazing! All of the processes from booking to check-in and checkout went smoothly, and Jessica responded quickly to a couple of questions we had. She was a pleasure to deal with! We would highly recommend this pet friendly vacation rental.

The bedrooms and kitchen were just perfect. The views were spectacular and the outdoor fireplace led to hours of conversations. What a relaxing, pleasant experience!We enjoyed dining at Boojum's and Beach Mountain in Waynesville. We also took a midnight hike up Black Balsam to get a 360-degree view of the stars. Unforgettable!

The owners have gone to great lengths to create a home away from home. This place was gorgeous and yet comfortable. It sincerely felt like walking into 'home'. The decorative bear details were throughout and such fun to note each one. We are a cooking family and this home's kitchen was fully stocked! There was nothing we didn't have. It was wonderful! We are also avid readers and there was an area upstairs perfectly suited for reading in comfort. The view was breathtaking...the sunsets...oh my! Bird feeders hanging from the deck with bird seed available so we could enjoy the sweet birds. There was firewood and kindling for the fabulous outdoor fireplace which we thoroughly enjoyed! The grill was cook ready with a full gas tank. All in all, we had the most amazing family time from cooking together in the kitchen to playing games around the coffee table with a fire glowing in the fireplace, to soaking in the hot tub on the brisk evenings with a fire crackling nearby and then sitting out around the fire other evenings just chatting and sharing each other's space. Theses owners didn't miss a detail. We fell in love with this place and have promised to return! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy this lovely place. Many sweet memories were made that we will treasure for years to come. Until next time....The Volpe Clan

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very comfortable and well stocked. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the birds come to the 2 feeders as well as sitting in the hot tub which was heated the whole time we were there. The driveway was very steep and I would not drive it but my friends were able to but it was a process. We would also have liked to have more lighting in the dining room, it was very hard to see our puzzle. Overall it was a great stay but I think next time I would try to find a place with more trails and walkability from the house. Also there is a bin marked recycle in the kitchen but there is nowhere to drop it off, this was confusing. The laundry is located in one of the bedrooms so I felt bad having to go into that room and disturb my friend.

Checking into our cabin was a breeze. The cabin was beautiful. All bedrooms were on separate floors with on suite bathrooms, which gave each couple complete privacy. The view was absolutely breathtaking. We cooked breakfast every morning and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils. I would definitely stay here again.

My family and I travel every year to the surrounding area & by far this is one of my favorite cabins. It is the first time I have considered going back to the same property again. Super clean & amazing view. Plenty of room & pet friendly. Thanks for a wonderful stay for my family. Looking forward to our next trip!

Great home with great views. The pictures do not do it justice. The outdoor fireplace and hot tub are awesome. Our kids loved the giant playground, playhouse and streams at the bottom of the mountain when you enter the community. Excellent.
