You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Dancing Bear Retreat Luxury Lodge



From the moment you enter this cabin you will be amazed at the details and natural beauty of the large 2ft diameter logs and stack stone workmanship. Unlike other "Big Log" lodges in the Smoky Mountain area, this is the only cabin of its "design" located within just 6-7 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg and 4-5 minutes to Pigeon Forge. Not to mention the privacy and spectacular mountain views that you will enjoy.

This fully equipped kitchen has it all from the solid granite counter tops, upgraded kitchen cabinetry to all the modern features including stainless steel sinks and refrigerator with auto ice-maker.

Picture yourself in the dining room with your family or friends surrounded by breathtaking views of Mt. Leconte and the surrounding mountains ranges. Your family feast or barbeque will never taste better.

The views never end and are even more spectacular from the living room. The high vaulted ceilings emphasize the open spacious design. You will be in the lap of luxury when you sink into the comfortable leather couches. Unwind and enjoy the rugged stone fireplace and 55 inch flat screen TV while you relax with friends and family.
The game room offers a pool table full wet bar and an additional full size refrigerator and 55 inch for family enjoyment.
The main level bedroom includes a queen size log bed and 32 inch flat screen TV. A full size bathroom with a separate stall glass shower and additional whirlpool jacuzzi tub with private window views.
The upper level bedroom is spacious and includes a king size bed and sitting area which also includes a 32 inch flat screen TV. A full bathroom is located just off this bedroom and also includes a gl ass stall shower and a separate, private jacuzzi whirlpool tub.\
The other lower level 3rd bedroom has 2 full size beds and the 4th bedroom includes two twin beds which will be ideal for 2 children.
You will be one with nature as you enjoy the outdoors and the views while rocking your cares away on the decks. Don't forget the steaks, for a great grilled dinner on our full size gas grill or just soak your cares away in the hot tub while counting the stars at night.
Get away from it all and enjoy a good book or just relax upstairs in the sitting area while enjoying the views.
You will enjoy the privacy that this Lodge offers, not only are the views unsurpassed but the location is unbeatable being only a few minutes to downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Great location and beautiful cabin

We could not have stayed in a better location. The cabin was beautiful and had amazing views. Loved the large dining table so that we could all eat together. The beds were comfy and I liked the layout of the cabin. It was very cozy. Communication was so easy with Anita.

Great Location! Beautiful views!

Our stay was great! The cabin could use a more thorough spring cleaning and the sliding doors downstairs and french door to main deck could use the handles/locks replaced but the property overall was really nice and true to pictures on the site. Gorgeous views. Owner was pleasant and easy to deal with and location was perfect for our hiking adventures. Will definitely book again when we come back to the area!

Beautiful Home on to of Mountain

Beautiful home in the middle of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Beautiful views. Felt secluded on top a mountain, which made it feel very relaxing. Great area for kids in basement area with pool table. Only drawback is grill outside is old and did not work.

We’ll be back!

This house is amazing! It was perfect for our large group (10) all girl cousin trip! Check in and check out are quick and easy! Plenty of room everywhere to sleep, eat, relax, shower and get ready,, and relax on the porch. It was very clean, had everything we needed, and so comfy! The manager checked in to make sure we were good and to see if we needed anything. It is perfectly located in between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The view is amazing! My favorite cabin so far! Cant wait to come back! ❤️

Lovley place with a beautiful view

Place was very nice. Awesome view!! We even had a black bear come on the deck. Located very nice between pigeon forge and Gatlinburg. The only thing is after 2 days the hot tub had a musty smell to it and we called and she said its because we didnt shower before hand. Which we did. She would not come out and check it. I own a pool and spa and all it needed was a chemical check to make sure it was balenced right. If they would of made that corrected to would of been 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks for sharing the lovley cabin. I would recommend it to anyone.

Incredible Stay in the "Smokies"

My husband and I along with our grandchildren, stayed at this beautiful house from July 22-29th. It was everything that we dreamed of and more!! The house was exactly as pictured online. Anita was an absolute wonderful host! We texted back and forth several times just to share pictures of the bears that visited the property throughout the stay! Our kids loved coming back to the home everyday after our many adventures! It truly felt like home. If you are looking for peace and quiet in the beautiful Smokie Mountains.....this is the place to stay. I looked forward to the peace and quiet in the mornings on the deck having coffee with my husband and overlooking the mountains. The house is in a secluded area between Pigeon-Forge and Gaitlinburg, which made it nice. I would highly recommend this place and would love to come back again in the fall! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
