Review:

Dancing Bear Lodge and Appalachian Bistro is a perfect getaway spot for visitors looking to experience the majesty of Great Smoky Mountains National Park without the chaos of tourist towns.

The resort, which is located just minutes from beautiful Cades Cove, is set on 38 acres and offers a wide variety of rustic-style accommodations, including 21 rental cottages and cabins for private stays.

The resort's award-winning Appalachian Bistro restaurant, which has been acclaimed by the Travel Channel as one of the nation's hottest hotel restaurants, serves up a variety of delicious comfort food entrees crafted by executive chef Shelley Cooper with locally-sourced, farm-fresh ingredients.
