Dancing Bear Lodge in Whittier | Cabin in Whittier

Dancing Bear Lodge is a five Bedroom, three and a half Bathroom Luxurious Cabin with the absolute best, layered mountain views that you can experience in the Smokies. You will be only minutes to Bryson City, Cherokee, Maggie Valley, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as well as 44 miles to Gatlinburg and one hour from Asheville. The first thing you will notice when you drive up Mountain Range Dr is what caused us to fall in love with Dancing Bear Lodge… The absolutely stunning views. They are truly the best we have ever seen. You feel at peace when you sit on the porch, or in the hot tub, and stare out at the mountain views as you hear the river in the valley and the birds in the mountain trees. It is what made us fall for Dancing Bear Lodge when we first visited. As you venture inside, you will be impressed with the attention to detail we spent when designing the Cabin for you to enjoy. We did our vest best to think of everything you may want when staying with us. The kitchen is fully equipped, with everything you need to cook a meal for your family and guests. Coffee lovers will absolutely love staying with us(You may experience a little bit of coffee envy about the coffee bar, be warned!). You will find two different whole bean coffees with a coffee grinder to grind them to your specifications. Then you will notice the french press, a regular coffee pot, a Keurig machine, and my personal favorite.. a Nespresso machine for excellent coffees and espresso shots! After you brew your coffee you can prepare it however you like best. We stock four different syrups, three types of creamer, sugar in the raw, equal, splenda, and honey sticks to make your coffee even better than at home! After passing through the kitchen and dining room you can venture down the hallway to the two top floor Owner's Suites. They each have King size beds and their own bathrooms. You will enjoy the spa sheets and our favorite quilt sets on each bed as well as the great views from the bedrooms! If you head downstairs from the living room you turn the corner and are presented with the striking two-story game room. The game room has a pool table, a full-sized arcade-style basketball game, and a second living room. Around the corner of the bar, you will find a second kitchen with a poker table and two arcade cabinets as well as the door leading to the lower porch with the hot tub. Just past the kitchen, you will find the two downstairs bedrooms. One features a third king bed and the other features a very comfortable queen bed. These two bedrooms share a spacious and private full bathroom. If you head back up the staircase from the game room you will notice that the staircase can lead left or right. If you head right you will find the door to the "Bear's Den" where we have one queen bed and two twin beds. This room is perfect for the kids in the group or for extra beds for any other guests. It is setup with a kids tent, a chalkboard, plenty of books and games to play with, as well as a TV with a Roku to stream their favorite channels. Outside you can enjoy the stars and roast some marshmallows in the fire pit. We love the feeling of privacy while still feeling close enough to others to feel safe while staying at Dancing Bear. You have the feeling of freedom and peace that comes with being in the mountains. If you want to enjoy the Smokies while you're in town - you're in luck, Dancing Bear is located conveniently to just about everywhere! - Dancing Bear is located just 1/4 of a mile from the Smoky Mountain Country Club, which has a lovely golf course, swimming pool in the summer, and the Persimmon Grill for a great place to eat lunch or dinner. - In just a ten-minute drive, you can enjoy the Cherokee Indian Reservation where you can learn the rich history of the tribe, enjoy everything that Harrah's Cherokee Casino has to offer, or take a drive through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. - Bryson City is located about fifteen minutes away, where you will find the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, plenty of boutique shops, and many delicious restaurants. Make sure to try Nantahala Brewing Company’s many excellent beers and excellent food. I also highly recommend The Rice Wagon, which is located behind Mountain Layers Brewing Company(also an excellent place to try!). The Rice Wagon is a surprise in Bryson City. It is a Hawaiian Style food truck and has many excellent options. I highly recommend making a stop if you have time. - If you need any fresh food check out Darnell Farms. They have a farm store with a large variety of local foods and they offer an online ordering option so that you can order ahead of time. If you plan to stop and shop in their farm store make sure to bring the kids! There is a playground on the Tuckasegee River that kids can play at while you are shopping. They also offer meal kits that are made with fresh local ingredients, very convenient when you just want to pick something fresh up to make at the Cabin without needing to get a variety of ingredients! - Sylva is a vibrant little town with many things to do, and it is only 15 minutes away! We love Guadalupe cafe, Pie Times Pizza Company, Nantahala Brewing Company’s Sylva Outpost, and many other local restaurants and coffee shops. They also have a variety of excellent local stores to browse if you are in the mood for shopping. - If you're looking for a little outdoor adventure, there are plenty of places to hike, bike, fish, or swim with gorgeous views surrounding you including Deep Creek Falls, Mingo Falls, the popular “Road To Nowhere”, and the many hikes and sights that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers. - For a little adrenaline, take a thirty-minute drive to the Nantahala Outdoor Center where you'll find world-class white water rafting, kayaking, and ziplining. We recommend stopping by Cardinal Coffee on your way for some local coffee. - Further West you can drive on and explore the views from Fontana Dam. Fontana Dam is the tallest Dam in the Eastern United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It offers amazing views and the lake it creates, aptly named Fontana Lake, is beautiful. It is bordered by the Smoky Mountains National Park on one side so it doesn’t have any development and offers plenty of natural beauty. The Appalachian Trail also goes over Fontana Dam! - Head South and you will find the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, which is one of the United States most impressive remnants of old-growth forest. It has more than 100 species of old-growth trees, many more than 400 years old, and some more than 20 feet in circumference and 100 feet tall. It is maintained in its primitive state and the only way to see it is on foot. There is a 2 mile trail that leads to the Joyce Kilmer Memorial and loops through giant trees. - Adventure even further West and you can see “The Dragon’s Tail”. This is a legendary section of the Blue Ridge Parkway that many car and motorcycle drivers make a pilgrimage to. It is known for both its windy path, and its beautiful views. Make sure to check out the tree where bikers collect parts that have fallen off bikes on the Tail Of The Dragon and hang them from a tree as a remembrance for the road!
