About this property

Cabin with beautiful view, on 'Peaceful Side of the Smokies'

A charming and beautiful cabin with real rustic split log construction with sweet surroundings! Has a very beautiful view, cabin is situated in a log cabin community, but don't worry, it is very private. It has its own large driveway and is located off of the road which gives it some much desired peace and quiet. The cabin has a large covered deck with a swing, sitting area, two rocking chairs, gas grill, and private hot tub.
Can't describe how beautiful the view is from here!!!
Inside the cabin, you will find a loft bedroom with a very comfortable king size bed and half bath, dresser and armoir.
Downstairs there is a nice living room with a sixty- inch flat screen TV, DVD player, free WIFI, Comcast cable. The cabin has central heat and air conditioning and is very well insulated for warmth on those cold days and nights in the winter. And to keep you cool on those hot days and nights in the summer. There is a gas burning rock fireplace as well.
The kitchen is fully equipped to cook a meal for your loved one including a dishwasher range, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, coffee pot and more.
The full bathroom downstairs has a tub/shower combo and washer and dryer. There is also a huge whirlpool jetted tub for a late night soak !! Also has a full size pool table.
Windancer is located in a log cabin community which gives you accessibility to the seasonal swimming pool and covered pavilion.
The cabin is almost on top of the mountain, there 3 more cabins above my cabin.
Concrete roads all the way to the cabin. Front wheel drive vehicles are sufficient most of the time but all wheel drive or 4-wheel drive is suggested for all guests to be more comfortable if it rains or winter weather is around !!
This is how you get the great view and seclusion.
This cabin will sleep 2 adults upstairs and have a pull out sofa downstairs, but it is only big enough for 2 children. Cabin is not large enough for 4 adults.
I have 2 security cameras, 1points to steps going up to porch. One points toward driveway.
Townsend offers many wonderful things to do. Here you can go swimming, biking, tubing, fishing, horse back riding, take beautiful photographs of awesome mountain and river views.
Townsend also has art and craft stores and several great restaurants and Churches. Wedding and events Venue is located about an eighth of a mile from cabin.
Cabin is about 5 - 10 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountain National park and Cades Cove entrance. And about 30 to 40 minutes through the beautiful mountains to get to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
I also have a larger cabin in this resort on flat land, no mountain to climb, but you don't have the view as the other cabin.

Amazing cabin with a secluded mountain view!
The cabin met all of our expectations. It was clean, secluded, and had an incredible mountain view. The location was perfect for exploring the great smokey mountains and the town of Townsend. It was a steep drive to get to the property but we had no trouble in a subaru forester. I would highly recommend staying here!

Lovely cabin
Super cute cabin! Great view! Has close cabins but offers privacy! The owner is very communicative and responsive. The drive way is terrible in the rain and that is the only down fall. We managed though and it felt like the perfect get weekend getaway for me and my husband

Mountain cabin
Drive up to the cabin was pretty challenging. We were “home” every night before dark because of this. Nice place overall. I would like to stay lower and closer to the river next time. We tried to leave the cabin intact. Seems like the owner has had some problems with renters in the past and her written communication reflects that. Made me a little nervous about leaving things perfectly. Jacuzzi was really nice.

Little get away
The cabin is very nice, clean and adequately stocked with all we needed for our trip. The view is beautiful! The climb up the mountain to the cabin was a little tough. We have an extra cab long bed truck and some of the turns were sharp and hard to see over the hood of the truck, especially at night.

Wonderful Anniversary Getaway
The cabin view was amazing. The cabin had everything we needed and was lovely and clean. We enjoyed the hottub with the cool evenings. Lots of food, coffee shops, and grocery store close by. The only two things we noticed is the bathroom fan may be about to die. It was alternating between loud and normal and the loud was a little intense.The other thing was the beautiful bathtub looked so clean and I was thrilled to have a soak. When we went to fill it up, there was some debris and hair floating the water. It seemed to be coming from the spout. The actual tub looked clean. Honestly, I could have just wiped it out, but I didnt want to bother draining and refilling. No stars lost on either of these items, just mentioning it for awaremness. Would absolutely stay here again. mentioned for awareness. it. adie.

Peaceful Mountain Cabin
We loved the cabin! It was perfect for our family. When we go to the Smokies we want a cabin with a view, and this one is exceptional! We liked the open concept with the big windows to look out from the loft bedroom. Our son loved the hot tub and jacuzzi. Be prepared the road to the cabin is steep and you’ll need a 4 wheel or all wheel drive. But this is expected to be able to get this kind of view.

Pretty good
We loved the location for a nice relaxing weekend. Just a short 30-40 minute drive to Pigeon Forge but far enough away for total peace as well. The cabin is very cute and adorably decorated. It was clean for the most part- biggest thing was some crumbs still in the couch and just needed a good deep clean of some other areas. Hot tub was clean and good! Overall would likely go back again

Cabin with a view
Cozy one bedroom cabin. Great place for couples. The drive to the cabin is like others have said, it’s steep. The scenery from the back porch is breathtaking. During the day, you can hear a bell chime on every hour from the distance. As far as wildlife, there are a lot of squirrels in this area, and seen a bear on the drive to the cabin. Would I stay there again if the opportunity presents itself? I would stay here before anywhere else. Very peaceful and quiet place.

Adventurous
Getting to the cabin was an adventure, husband and I was amazed how they even built the cabin there but once you get there it is absolutely AMAZING! The cabin was beautiful and had awesome views. My favorite part of the cabin was the loft where the bedroom was. I don’t sleep very good anymore so I wake up a lot and when I would you could look out the picture window and see the lights from Townsend below. It was breathtaking. We had to cut our trip short due to a problem at home but hopefully we can go back. The Cansler’s were so nice to work with. We just had a great experience 🙂

Secluded getaway
It was a very secluded getaway for me my husband. We enjoyed every moment of it especially waking up to the window view in the mornings. The only thing is, it was a very good thing we had 4 wheel drive especially when its wet to get to the top of this mountain.

Beautiful cabin with beautiful views! The pictures do not do this cabin justice. The hot tub is very private with views of the smokies. Hot tub was super clean and very well maintained. The king size bed is very soft. Spoke to the owner of this place and Alice was a super sweet lady! Would definitely stay here again.
