Nice room. Plenty of space for all of my luggage. Easy check-in. They were flexible with my check-in time. Easy walking distance to everywhere in town and trails.

Very nice, clean, and cozy place. Close to everything in Damascus (which, of course, is not a huge town). Check-in was a breeze thanks to Elizabeth (very nice lady). I can recommend this spot!

Really great! Elizabeth was very kind and friendly and obviously has her business down pat. Very clean, fairly priced, private, cute, and close to everything you want to do in Damascus. Stay Here!

We had a wonderful three days. Elizabeth and Pat went so far above and beyond. The best hosts ever!

The only negative is that we didn’t plan to stay longer! Our room was perfect for our family of five.
We planned to hike to the high point of Mt Rogers after our stay at the Dancing Bear Inn and only stayed one night in Damascus and all wished we had planned to stay longer.
We loved walking the beautiful streets and trails of Damascus and hope we can get back when we can stay longer.
If you love the outdoors and charm of a mountain town, staying at the Dancing Bear is the perfect choice!

Super cute room, decor was inviting. Parking is a bit of a challenge with a truck, but possible. Bed was a bit hard for our old bones, but the pillows were great and helpful for getting comfortable. Bathroom was small with some mold between the floor and the tub, otherwise clean bedding and room. Nicely stocked with k-cups for some good coffee. Owners were very welcoming and friendly. Riding the creeper trail was a fun activity we did In Damascus and this hotel made extra efforts to help you clean up afterwards.

It was absolutely perfect as a home base for fishing Whitetop Laurel Creek and biking the Virginia Creeper Trail. Low key and everything you need.

We enjoyed staying at this property and it was dog friendly. Love that it was a AT town and seeing the thru hikers. We sat outside on the patio and very quiet and meet Ralph the raccoon. Walking around town was awesome. Would stay here again.

Everything was good except the AC unit was too loud and no ice machine on the property.

We were delayed in our arrival and the owners were very understanding. The property was clean and well maintained. We would have loved to stay another night, but it was already booked! Next time we’ll know to reserve early!

Elizabeth came out to greet me and check me in as I was parking; we had a lovely conversation after she explained various amenities of the room and area. It is both bicycle (creeper trail is nearby) and motorcycle (MABDR starts nearby) friendly. Clean, coffee in room, walking distance to various eating establishments and other shopping. I would not hesitate to book a room here again.
5.0
We loved the cleanliness and simplicity. The hospitality was wonderful and it is close to everything in town.

Wonderful! Welcoming, comfortable, clean and well thought out!

It was nice. Maybe the host was having a bad day but within the first two sentence she insulted our home (Atlanta, which we know isn’t for everyone but it’s my home town) and our car (a old but reliable suburban).
5.0
Comfortable lodging in a quiet area but only minutes walking distance from most restaurants and biking shops. Mama bear suite fit our group of 5 comfortably.

Great stay!

Mountain views, a river stream flowing nearby, small town feel, and great weather were the highlights of our 2022 trip.
It is a sport tourism destination, so Saturday was the opposite of the rest of the week with several thousand people extra in town to ride and play.

The host was fabulous. She welcomed us when we arrived and most importantly, she allowed us to check out late since we needed to take showers after we unexpectantly got muddy on a morning excursion.
