Everything was as it is listed. You can see Mount LeConte from the front porch. It is a quiet spot and a great place to relax. The kids (10 and 8) loved the indoor pool and game room. Great communication with host. Easy checkin and out.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your family had a relaxing stay. It’s great to know the kids enjoyed the pool and game room! We’re also so glad you got to enjoy that view of Mount LeConte from the porch; it’s one of our favorite parts of the property too. Your family were truly ideal guests—communicative, respectful, and a pleasure to host. We’d love to have you back the next time you're in the area!
Location was great! Beautiful view from the front of the house. The house, hot tube, and pool were perfect for our group! Love the lock on the pool room so the little one couldn’t get in by themselves!!! The host was amazing!!! Very responsive and had all of our minor issues resolved very quickly.

Thank you so much for the glowing review. We are thrilled that your group enjoyed the cabin, views, pool, and hot tub. It’s also great to hear the safety lock on the pool room gave you peace of mind with the little one—that’s exactly why we have it! We always strive to be as responsive as possible, and we’re glad we could help resolve those minor issues quickly. We would love to host your group again for another 'perfect' stay!
The pool was fantastic. The overall cabin was wonderful. We definitely would go back. The whirlpool was great. Every room had an en suite. They had a regular coffee pot and a Keurig. The pool was warm. There’s a restroom at the pool room.I love getting in the swimming pool and being able to jump right in the shower and then go upstairs. And they had a small game room before you enter the pool room. We did not have kids with us, but they would love it. I thought it was pretty cool that the pool table was right there in the TV room.There is a TV in every bedroom, including the pool room.We enjoyed it.

About the host
Hosted by Sri
🐻 Welcome to Dancing Bear Cove! My hope is that this cabin offers you the same tranquil retreat I discovered when I first traded city lights for the starlit skies of the Smokies. Whether you're sipping coffee at dawn while Mt. LeConte glows in the morning light, or watching the stars emerge over the ridgeline at night — may you find the space here to truly reconnect, and leave feeling fully recharged. We take great pride in maintaining a spotlessly clean, safe, and family-friendly home for every guest who walks through our door. I'm always just a quick message away — whether you need a local restaurant recommendation, a hiking trail suggestion, or any assistance during your stay. My goal is simple: to make your Smoky Mountain getaway as seamless as it is memorable. We can't wait to welcome you to the mountains. 🏔️ Thank you for choosing our cabin as your homebase; we look forward to welcoming you!
