Top Tapoco Hotel Reviews

Dancing Bear Lodge

Dancing Bear Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Great stay. Twin Creeks #2 was well appointed and well maintained. Very hot and humid during our stay, but the wall AC was able to keep up. May be worth changing the porch lights to focus a cone of light on the ground to reduce the light pollution, but nothing bad to say about the visit. Dinner at the Appalachian Bistro was great, breakfast at Apple Valley Cafe was solid, set up well for hiking in the Smokies."
