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.

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.

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.

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

Picturesque Views
Very clean and comfy! Nestled high in the mountain with a beautiful view. Waking up to a misty Mountain View was awesome! Loved the wrap around porch and hot tub was great for evening soaks after a long hike in the park. Drive up to cabin was a bit steep but not nearly as bad as some had said in review. Just drive slow and no problem. Alice was very responsive and chatting with her was a pleasure!

aSome highlights and not-so-highlights
The Good - A comfortable cabin with a spectacular view of the Smokies and close to Cades Coves. The furniture was nice and comfortable and the area was ((mostly) peaceful and the porch view was wonderful. Hot tub was great. The Not So Good- The place had a chemical smell (extermination?} and I found clumps of dead insects everyday all over, particularly the kitchen and living room. I always wonder whether the things that kill other living things are harming people. The place was surprisingly poorly stocked— no shampoo, no shower soap, no spices, no plastic wrap, etc Lots of folks these days don’t want to go to restaurants every night but this place wasn’t accommodating those travelers very well. Bedroom was very dusty and only partially cleaned. Also, the road up to the place is really poorly engineered. I live in the mountains too and the roads on the sides of the mountains have adequate switchbacks so you’re not driving on 45% angles. Not so here. I worried everyday whether it was going to rain and if my car would get to the top. Thankfully the rain was just at night! I think this place could be a winner with a more bit thought on what travelers are looking for.

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.

157 Windancer was exactly as described in the verbal listing. The owner was very easy to communicate with,and she was very responsive to our inquiries. The views from the deck were amazing! We were treated to an evening visit from a young black bear. Very exciting and we got to photograph him from inside!

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.

Value Stay with Amazing View
The view from this property is amazing! The cabin itself is some what dated and needs some tlc. Nothing major just many light bulbs out, shower faucet is tricky, all pool sticks were broken in some way, ceiling fan in living room didn't work, and some railings outside only had one nail securing them. It was nice to have two bathrooms. The master suite and a half bath are upstairs. The pool table, full bath, kitchen and living downstairs. Make sure to bring salt and pepper as the kitchen is equipped with serving and cookware only. We arrived at 330 to check in but due to storms our check in was delayed for cleaning so we explored Wears Valley for an hour. Overall the cabin was mostly clean and the bed was comfortable but the sheets do not stay on well. The hot tub worked well and was a nice amenity. This is a steep location and tight road so be prepared. I have a suburban and its was tight navigating the resort roads. The pool looked clean and was open. For the price paid, it was a good, peaceful stay. The view makes it worth the minor issues we had while there.

Disappointed
We could not get up the steep inclines to the cabin because of the rain. 3 people tried and failed, we finally made it up the 3rd night. I talked to the property manager and she said the description said in bad weather you might need 4 wheel drive. I don’t have 4 wheel drive and would not have rented this cabin if I had known that. It would have been nice if someone could’ve told us, and I don’t mean in the fine print. We will NEVER use this property again, and do not recommend it for anyone without 4 wheel drive or anyone who is not able to navigate steep inclines and stairs. We had to go to a motel the first 2 nights and would have appreciated some kind of compensation for the inconvenience. I paid a lot of money for just a one night stay in the cabin. The property manager offered to take us up to the cabin but then we would have been stuck there. Same thing if other people got us to the cabin, we would not have been able to walk back down because it was too wet and slippery to navigate walking up and down the inclines.

Cabin as depicted. Great view. Clean. Host responsive. Road up to cabin can get pretty steep. No issue going up in sedan while dry, but had to take multiple attempts after a rain. On last morning, water was out due to lightning striking water pump. No one's fault. Just part of staying in a cabin.
