Winter Wonderland! King Bed! Arcade! Hot Tub!

Welcome to Dancin' In The Moonlight! This is a charming 1 bedroom + loft and part of Mountain Mist Cabins. We are a dog-friendly, cabin, located less than 5 minutes off HWY 321 in Townsend, TN, which is also known as “The Peaceful Side of the Smokies.” Only 5 minutes (2.5 miles) from Tuckaleechee Caverns and 7 minutes (4 miles) from Great Smoky Mountain National Park and close to Cades Cove. Perfect for two couples or a family, and bring along your furry family members!

Newly decorated, this one-bedroom cabin with a loft (full bed) is the perfect place for two couples or a family to get away and relax. The kitchen is fully stocked with a drip coffee maker (BYO-Coffee) and a Keurig (BYO-K-cups) and all the dishes and cookware you may need.

All TVs are connected to wifi with access to all of your favorite streaming apps via Roku (you must log into your own accounts)! The bedroom & loft both contain a 43” UHD Roku-equipped TV. The 55” living room TV is also Roku-equipped.

There is an electric fireplace for use in the cooler season (Oct. - Mar.), in the living room.

We are dog-friendly, with restrictions, so please message us with details if you intend to bring your furry friend(s)!

Mountain Mist Cabins offers a shared Laundry Area & community fire pit down the first driveway on your left!

*Please note that all amenities may not be available at all times.*

You’ll have the whole cabin to yourself!
Driveway is gravel, but flat and well-packed.
Motorcycle friendly but bring something to place under your Kickstand.
Electronic Lock on the door, so no keys to misplace or lose.

You will have privacy in this cabin. We are generally available between 9 AM and 9 PM through the app anytime before and during your stay. We will respond as quickly as possible.
If there is an emergency, please call 911. If it is non-emergent, we will get it resolved as quickly as possible.

Located on the Peaceful Side of the Smokies, Townsend is just 20 minutes (8 miles) to Pigeon Forge and 40 minutes (18 miles) to Gatlinburg. Less than 2 miles from HWY 321.
Mountain Mist Cabins contain 5 individual and private cabins. The main driveway is shared, while each cabin has a private driveway for you!
DANCIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT is straight ahead as you come down the main driveway once you have turned in by the “Mountain Mist Cabins” sign at the main road.

Mountain Mist Cabins is less than a mile from HWY 321 and just minutes away from many attractions. Only 1.6 miles to Davy Crockett Riding Stables, 2.5 miles to Tuckaleechee Caverns, and 4 miles to the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park & the Cades Cove Loop. Pulling in, DANCIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT will be the cabin straight ahead from the main driveway. While the main driveway from the main road is shared, each cabin has its own private driveway and yard.

Dog Policy - If you are bringing your furry friend, you must submit a message through the app or by email and let us know the age and breed of the dog(s). We do not allow puppies less than 1 year old and certain breeds that are known to be destructive. All dogs must be house-trained. You will be responsible for any damage caused by your dog. Please use the designated outdoor area for your pets to do their business and clean up after them. In some cases, we do provide waste stations to clean up after them. Unless otherwise specified in the listing there will be a $100/stay pet fee applied to your reservation.

Because we are dog-friendly, if you have any allergies pertaining to dogs, I recommend you do not stay at Dancin’ in the Moonlight. While we do our best to thoroughly clean, we cannot guarantee that you may not have an allergic reaction from a previous guest’s dog(s).

Please note the level of privacy at the cabin is dependent on the season. During the winter months when the trees are bare, you can see neighboring cabins, but they are not on top of you at all. During the Spring, Summer, and Fall the trees keep the cabin mostly private from neighbors.

Towels and linens are provided, as well as soaps, shampoos, and even toothbrushes, are available if you forgot yours!

All persons booking MUST be 21 years of age. Please message us for exceptions.
Be sure to purchase travel insurance!

The hot tub is for guests 21 and over. Alcohol is NOT allowed near the hot tub. You may not use the hot tub if you have consumed any alcohol or are pregnant. USE HOT TUB AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Should you bring more guests than allowed in the cabin you may be asked to leave the property without a refund.

Do not leave any trash or food outside, it will attract bears.
You are in nature and there are bears and other wildlife in the area. If Bears get too accustomed to people, they are put down. If you feed the bears, you can kill the bears, please don't kill the bears. Keep your car doors locked, bears can open them!

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

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.

Beautiful cabin and wonderful communication with Derek! It was our honeymoon and we were able to bring our fur baby and relax but still close enough to get a breakfast from our favorite restaurants in Gatlinburg.

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

This is the nicest, cleanest cabin I have ever rented. Any questions and Derek responds immediately. Would definitely rent from him again if in this area. If this cabin is too small for your group look up Mountain Mist Cabins as there are 5 in this area.

Gem in Townsend
We love this property and it is the second time we have stayed here. We love the layout of the cabin and the cleanliness. It is centrally located and close to Cades Cove ~ where we spend the most time. Communication is key and Derek has it tuned to a finely oiled machine. He checks in to make sure everything is to your satisfaction and provides comprehensive instructions for arrival/staying/leaving Dancin’ in the Moonlight. The beds are comfortable and the cabinets are well stocked. The gas fireplace provides ambiance and the internet and WIFI are amazingly fast. Cabin is in a nicely tucked in area of Townsend ~ which we prefer. We love the rustic feel and the hot tub and wrap around porch with chairs is a definite plus. We did not use the hot tub on this trip. Our dog loves it as well! Five Stars plus! Thank you Derek!
