A little smoke. A great whiskey. A well-deserved toast.

While Father’s Day Brunch is fully booked, the celebration doesn’t have to end there.

Join us throughout the week and raise a glass to Dad with the Man in Black, our signature smoked Old Fashioned.

Because one day simply isn’t enough to honor everything he does.

What makes Appalachian cuisine Appalachian?
It’s not just what’s on the plate.

It’s the memory food carries. The stories tucked into recipes. The seasons that shape what we grow, preserve, cook, and share. It’s where we come from, what we value, and how we gather.

During Culture Through Food at Appalachian Homecoming, Chef Jeff Carter will explore Appalachian cuisine as something living, evolving, and deeply connected to place.

Join us for a full day of food, music, art, farming, and the stories that shape this region.

Tickets are available now — come experience Appalachian Homecoming. Visit http://www.dancingbearlodge.com or click the link in our bio!

took shrimp and grits and gave it a story to tell.

Gulf seafood, house andouille, oyster mushrooms, and silky white corn grits meet Fresno velouté, pickled onions, and a crisp finish of ham chips.

A true Southern comfort.

Meet the ultimate addition to your next grazing spread. 🍇🧀

Our very own Executive Chef Jeff Carter has been busy in the woodshop, hand-shaping and finishing custom cutting boards from locally sourced hardwoods. No two are exactly alike!

Stop by the The Dancing Bean to pick up your own piece of functional Appalachian art, along with Chef Jeff’s signature Board Butter to keep it pristine.

🪵 Handmade. Functional art. Appalachian made.

If "home" had a flavor, this would be it.

Our Hickory Cane Corn Hushpuppies feature savory Benton’s Country Ham Hock and a little kick from fresh jalapeños.

Served with our signature Comeback Sauce and house pickles for the perfect finish.

Consistency at this level isn’t coincidence... it’s culture.

For the second year in a row, Executive Chef Jeff Carter has earned Grand Champion at Cityview Top Chef competition.

A distinction that reflects not just talent, but intention. With a menu rooted in “Italian Appalachia,” each course challenged expectations while honoring the region.

The result? A dining experience that continues to raise the bar for what Appalachian cuisine can be.

The Peaceful Side is setting the standard.

Grown here. Inspired here. 🐝

The beauty of the Lodge and the flavors of the Bistro are both deeply rooted in the health of our Appalachian home.

We believe that luxury and sustainability go hand-in-hand.

Whether it’s the quiet of a morning walk past our blooms or the thoughtful sourcing of a seasonal dish.

Happy Earth Day.

The essence of the season, served in a glass. 🌿

Our latest cocktail collection focuses on house-made infusions and bright, botanical layers.

From the floral notes of our Elderflower Champagne Cocktail to the citrus of the Aranciacello Crème Soda, or the Lemon Gin & Jam, every recipe has been thoughtfully crafted for the season.

Whether you’re stopping in for a light refresher or an evening treat like our Bananas Foster Espresso Martini, we’ve curated every ingredient to welcome the warmer days ahead.

Which one are you trying first? 🥂
