Great Place

We stayed a long weekend with our French bulldog. The cabin is very cozy and has everything we need. Sleeping was very comfortable and the bedroom downstairs is nice and dark. Fun to play old arcade games as well. If you stay on a Sunday the Bruch at Dancing Bear is really good. Reservations are needed. We will be staying again in the future.

Christmas in the Cabin

Thoroughly enjoyed our "Christmas in the Cabin" experience we were seeking for a quiet holiday. The Cabin was very charming in a great setting, and its location in Townsend right next to Smoky Mtn National Park was perfect. The Cabin layout was a great use of space. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the overall furnishings and decor were comfy. The generous porch was fantastic. We appreciated the timely communication with management. We will definitely book again when in the area.

Anniversary trip

First time staying in this cabin and in Townsend. We are very pleased with the condition of the cabin. It was stocked with everything that we needed to cook and to enjoy the peacefulness of the area. We appreciate how clean it was, the sofa in the living was very comfortable, so was the bed. We will definitely recommend it and look forward to staying there again. Thank you

Location was great, few minutes from Townsend. The cabin was great, loved loved the front porch with rockers. The hot tub was key as we hiked while there. As stated in reviews i saw, Derek, the host was wonderful! Answered questions immediately and was very nice. I loved the email they sent- which gave all info i needed for my stay. Comfy beds, loved the arcade game and cabin was well stocked with kitchen items. Will return- thank you for a great stay!

Good deal

Communication was good at place was pretty nice. Couple small issues we found were no kitchen sponge and water to sink was cold but I found a way around it. Also I didn’t find out till the last night the room had warmer blanket. Bit surprised how thin bed sheets were for being cabin. Would just say take inventory before you go get items at store. Hot tub was great, area was nice and quiet for most part- also couch super comfy

The property was very clean and smelled fresh everything was in working order I would have liked blinds on the French doors for more privacy at night and we are older and needed more lighting . The main thing it was clean and had a nice sofa.

Enjoyed The Secluded Cabin

Cabin was private, surrounded by trees and in a very quiet area. It was pretty much perfect for what we were looking for. The great weather gave us the opportunity to enjoy the large porch area. Cabin is centrally located to a huge amount of tourist attractions in a relatively small radius. Another big plus was that host Derek was on point with everything throughout our stay. When in the area I would gladly return for another stay at the cabin.

Nice Cabin Stay

Overall, It was a nice cabin stay. The kids loved the arcade games, hot tubs and ability to roam. Seemed like this particular cabin didn’t have a dedicated fire pit so had to find a communal one. Inside smelled a bit stale, but it’s a cabin. Lighting could be better inside, but overall took care of our needs.

Perfect Cabin!

My husband and I stayed for our 13th wedding anniversary! It was perfection! The decor and setting was wonderful. It would also have space for two couples or a small family. We loved the arcade game too. The wrap around porch was perfect for drinking coffee and relaxing and we enjoyed the hot tub also! We will definitely be returning.

Perfect, Peaceful Getaway

My wife and I spent 4 days at the Dancing in the Moonlight cabin and absolutely loved it. In fact, we loved it so much we stayed a day longer than originally planned. It's located a couple of miles from the restaurants and shops in Townsend, TN. Though there are other cabins nearby, we felt all alone there amongst the trees in the peace and quiet. There is a huge deck, with hot tub we took full advantage of, it's a perfect place for your morning coffee or supper in the evening. As an author, it was lovely to sit and write outdoors as well. The beds are comfortable and the arcade is a lot of fun with a ton of old school games to play. We love Townsend too. There are several good places to eat and it's a short, beautiful drive through Wears Valley to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg if you're looking for a more active scene. If we're ever back in this area we hope to stay in one of the Mountain Mist cabins again. like we are all
