Host profile image
Hello! My name is Alex Cope. I grew up and lived in several areas around Raleigh, NC before moving to Charlotte for my career. I am an Air Traffic Controller at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport and Owner of Better Vacations co-hosting. I have been married since 2014 to my amazing wife Paige and I have two young children who I love to spend my free time with. We all love traveling and exploring new places!

Why they chose this property

We purchased Dancing Bear Lodge because we fell in love with the Smoky Mountains when we visited them while growing up. We always wanted to own a property that our children could enjoy with us while growing up and when the right opportunity presented itself we decided to jump on it! We love visiting the area and enjoying the amazing views our property has. It is so relaxing to be able to enjoy the amazing views. If you stay with us you'll be able to see exactly what I am referring to yourself!

What makes this property unique

Dancing Bear Lodge truly has the best mountain views we have ever experienced. Every time we stay we have the same feeling of awe when we go onto the porch and look at the awesome layered mountain views. You can also enjoy the same views from the extra-large 7 person hot tub. It is so nice to come back after a day exploring and relax in the hot tub with the amazing views!

Additionally, we have truly tried our best to focus on the design at Dancing Bear. It feels comfortable as soon as you walk in. We the best cleaners in the area to keep it perfect at all times. We have the highest quality spa sheets, and our favorite quilts on every bed. You immediately feel comfortable and cozy in every room.

The kitchen is stocked as well as ours is at home(actually better in many ways!). We have practically any cooking device you could want to cook meals for your family and guests.

The coffee bar is amazing if you enjoy coffee. We have two types of whole bean coffee with a grinder, a french press, a Keurig, a regular coffee pot, and my personal favorite.. an Nespresso machine! We also have all of the ingredients you can want to make your cup the way you enjoy. There are four different syrups to flavor your coffee, three different coffee creamer varieties, stir sticks, sugar in the raw, Equal, Splenda, and honey sticks. If you don't like coffee, don't worry! We also have a variety of hot teas, as well as hot chocolate for the whole family to enjoy.. That is our kids favorite!

We have done our best to set the Cabin up how we would want it when we are staying there, and we think that anyone staying there will be impressed with both the amenities and the level of thought that was put into every aspect of Dancing Bear. We strive to be the best Vacation Rental that you have ever stayed at.
