We loved our stay! Nice owners, clean and comfortable room, dog friendly and the brother bear room had everything we needed after a short section hike on the AT. Perfect size for 2 people, nice little outdoor area to hang out on. Nicely located near everything so we could walk where we needed in Damascus. We will be back for sure!

We enjoyed the Dancing Bear for our one-night stay in Damascus! We were just steps away from our bike shuttle and Elizabeth was a lovely host. We also enjoyed the company of the two sweet kitties who live in the house.

I had an amazing stay. The room was very clean and had a full tub which was amazing for me to be able to soak the soreness out of my hiker legs. The lady running the inn was super nice, she allowed me to trade a book out of her library there in the inn to take with me back onto the trail. They also allowed me to take their bike to the store to resupply which was pretty awesome. If you're thruhiking, I would recommend a stay.

We stayed at The Dancing Bear (Mama Bear suite) for one night before we rode the VA Creeper trail. It was fantastic and we would definitely stay here again. Nice little apartment and walking distance to the river, and multiple shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

We were at the Dancing Bear for 5 nights. We rented the Mama Bear apartment. It was so great. Nice place to stay, very nice owners. Elizabeth, the owner, shuttled us around to our hiking spots and picked us up. She was always on time and speedy. We loved our experience there and would stay again.

Our stay at the Damascus Dancing Bear Inn was a cozy and memorable experience. The inn's warm ambiance and comfortable accommodations provided a perfect retreat after a day of adventure at the Doe Mountain recreation area. The rustic charm of the inn added to the overall experience, making it a great place to relax and unwind. Whether enjoying a hearty meal at a nearby restaurant or simply lounging in the inn's inviting common areas, our stay was undoubtedly a delightful and enjoyable one.

We stayed at The Dancing Bear in October during a quick overnight bike ride on the Creeper Trail and were pleased with the Dancing Bear Inn. The house was very clean, our host was accommodating and you couldn’t beat the location. It is in within walking distance of almost everything thing Damascus has to offer and I would recommend it to anyone traveling through Damascus. I plan on staying there again!

We stayed in the Papa Bear room, and really enjoyed it. The room was clean and warm. Beds were "just right", and had a very warm comforter. Sink in the kitchenette had a tall faucet, perfect for filling containers for the trail. Bathroom was clean and the shower was tiled with river rock, which felt great after a long day hiking. The bathroom also had towels specifically for cleaning muddy gear!Elizabeth was great to talk to, and very accommodating of special requests.Ask about shuttle rates, they had the best!

My family has stayed at The Dancing Bear Inn for the past two years before riding the creeper trail. The room we stay in is always extremely clean. There is signage throughout the room showing additional information of things you may need to know or how to get what you may need. Check in is very easy and quick. You are also in walking distance to most anything in the area. We love staying here and this is out go to spot when we know we are headed to Damascus.

We loved our stay at the Dancing Bear Inn. The Brother Bear room was perfect for a couple. Breakfast was just across the street at Main Street Coffee and Cream. Elizabeth greeted us when we arrived and was very understanding when bicycle grease got on a blanket. We will definitely stay there again!
