    The cabin was beautiful, cozy and clean. We loved the updated kitchen. The bed was comfy, and big, fluffy bath towels are provided. We enjoyed the large deck and hot tub and inside playing a few throwback arcade games, and watching movies on the couch. The host is very communicative and we truly enjoyed our time. Definitely recommend!

    Pros: Cute and cozy cabin with everything needed for your stay. Great location in Townsend. Derek was professional and responsive. The check-in procedures were super easy and the Mountain Mist app with instructions, recommendations, etc. was a nice touch.Cons: The cabin appeared clean, but smelled musty from the moment we opened the door and also had high humidity inside the entire week…our bath towels never dried and crunchy snacks lost their crunch. The first night we went into Maryville and purchased an air purifier that we used in the bedroom, ran the vent-a-hood 24/7, and kept the A/C at a low setting, all of which helped make it tolerable. I did report to management who said they would look into it after our stay so it may have been an isolated thing as most reviews didn’t indicate a similar experience.

    Very clean. Close to town but not “ in” town. Groceries, etc. readily accessible. Recommend the ribs at JimBob’s restaurant. Host communicates as needed and is very helpful. Hot tub is great and private. Felt comfortable in the area. Only a few minutes to entrance to the National park. Looking forward to returning.

    This was our second time staying at one of the cabins on this property. Our first experience was great, and Derek the property manager, was responsive. The check-in instructions were also clearly presented and easy to follow, which we appreciated.The location is undeniably beautiful-peaceful, close to Townsend, and just a short drive to Cades Cove. We even spotted a bear from the front porch, which was a highlight. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.The cabin had a strong, unpleasant musty odor the moment we walked in-like wet dog and mildew. We had to open all the windows and drive into town for air fresheners, but even with that, the smell never went away. The couch blanket, curtains, and bedspread all reeked, and the cabin was so damp our clothes felt wet just hanging in the cabin. Towels never dried between showers, and spices we brought from home (and bought locally) crystalized from the moisture in the air.To make matters worse, one of the only mornings we planned to sleep in was cut short by lawn maintenance weed eating and mowing right around our cabin at 8 a.m. The timing was frustrating and felt inconsiderate for paying guests.By the time we left, all of our clothes and even our suitcases smelled like the cabin. Everything had to be washed or aired out after returning home.This property has potential with its location and views, but the moisture issues, odor, and lack of attention to guest comfort made this stay unpleasant.

    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.

    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.

We will definitely recommend it and look forward to staying there again. Thank you

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

    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.

    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.

    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
