Modern Mountain Stay
This Windsong Zen home is a way to immerse yourself in the mountains in a cabin, and still have all the modern amenities of chic decor and furniture. Fully loaded kitchen with every possible cooking apparatus you could need to make meals if you wish, spices included. You are surrounded by beauty, the landscaping is unique, interesting vegetation everywhere. My family loved every part of this home, and the fact that all accommodations and exploration could be done so close by! This is a beautiful vacation home to visit Townsend! Loni was extremely helpful every step of tge way! chef's

Absolutely fantastic experience!
Everything about this cabin is absolutely wonderful. The beautiful landscaping, calming zen decor, and luxurious swim spa made for the most relaxing weekend my family has ever experienced. The location of the cabin couldn’t have been better. It was secluded and a short, scenic drive to pigeon forge. We particularly loved the local restaurants and coffee houses that the owners recommended. The owners were extremely quick to respond to anything that we needed and went above and beyond for our stay. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a 5 star experience!

Favorite Cabin Yet.
This cabin has been our favorite yet. So many things for every one of all ages to do, that you don’t even need to leave. It’s very clean, and well maintained. We loved everything about it except the mattresses needed updated that no one slept good all weekend, but the cabin made up for the beds. The host was so easy to work with, and was always so friendly. We are already planning our next vacation here!

Great stay and perfect location
We had a wonderful stay at Windsong Retreat. My husband and I and 3 children found the cabin to be relaxing and the surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. My youngest keeps asking when we are going back. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use. The location of Windsong is perfect, half an hour to Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and only 45 miles from Cherokee, North Carolina. We took a trip to Cades Cove and drove the loop (closed for bike use only on Wednesdays, bikes are available to rent at the Cove) and saw horses, turkeys, elk and bears. Elvira's cafe that is just minutes away, is a wonderful spot for breakfast and they will tell you all the best places to go and times to beat the crowds. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Our best family vacation
This was our first family vacation and I have to tell you about our stay. The cabin was absolutely a breath taking experience. Not only did it feel warm and like home but everything from the kitchen (my favorite place as I love cooking for my family). The wood work to the decor was spot on. Everything so clean and beautiful pictures could not do this cabin justice. The property owner was so informative and I absolutely adored talking with them. They gave phenomenal recommendations that we did. They checked in with us just to make sure we didn’t need anything and every question I had they answered without hesitation. I could not express how much we loved staying here and talking with Loni. Thank you for such an amazing vacation.

The BEST Part of our Vacation was THIS house
I cannot say enough great things about this property and the management. We had a few questions throughout our stay and their response was super quick and thorough. The house was very clean and had fun details like a remote control shading system for the windows, an indoor firepit located off to the side of the house for semi-privacy from the kids, an electronic gaming machine with nostalgic favorites, beautifully crafted showers, and a large hot tub with overhang deck that we didn't want to miss a single day of usage! Hands down the best rental property we've stayed in to date. The only downfall we felt was that the views weren't quite as impressive as the pictures online showed. Still beautiful, but not as grandiose.

Birthday Celebration
This place was great. Peaceful and quiet, lots of trees. Close enough to Cades Cove, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to get too quickly, do what you need to do and then retreat to your private place. Windows & sliding doors were wonderful. Kitchen was great. Swimming tub was a plus. Mama bear and two cubs greeted us when we arrived and showed up for breakfast (on the deck) the next day. Pretty chipmunk with white tail nesting in the Zen Garden. My only complaint were the beds, not senior friendly. Two low on the ground and mattress to soft. Certainly, a great place to stay. There were seven of us and we had plenty of room.

Ultimate Relaxation
We have stayed in well over 30 cabins over the last few years in the area. This one provided the ultimate relaxation. We decided to try something we had never tried, with the theme of this cabin and I’m so glad we did. There was so much detail throughout the cabin that allowed for peace and R&R. The location in Townsend was wonderful, you had scenic drives anytime you needed to come down to get to Gatlinburg. The showers, water pressure, toilet paper quality (yes I noticed), softness of sheets, firmness of beds, quality of sound system, large swim spa with twinkle lights, massive amount of cook wear in a nice open kitchen, book lights next to the bed, game table for the kids and wood burning fireplace with plenty of provided firewood were some of my favorites. We will return to this cabin. Thank you!

Elegant Accommodations in the Smoky’s
We met 2 other couples at the beautiful home, Windsong Retreat. Although you aren’t far from civilization, you get the feeling you are surrounded by forest, miles from everyone. The elegant Asian decor is tasteful and comfortable. So many unique touches! The kitchen is state of the art and has everything you need. We loved the huge glass windows and natural light. Although our stay was rainy, we enjoyed the screened in porch with the fire pit. Our gas ran out the first day and the owner Loni had another tank delivered and hooked up in one hour! Fantastic communication with her before, during and after our stay. All the bedrooms are well-decorated and comfortable. Be aware the upstairs bedroom is private but is open, “loft-style”. So if you have a light sleeper, place them downstairs. The entire home was very clean and comfortable. If you are looking for a cozy, upscale, unique home, this is the place for you! We enjoyed lunch nearby at The Abbey and The Peaceful Side Social. Sunday Brunch at The Dancing Bear was fantastic and they take reservations. Definitely worth it! Thank you, Loni, for being a great hostess and providing such a wonderful home to enjoy!

One of kind property in quiet area
My wife and I really enjoyed staying at this property and have stayed at many places through VRBO. We both feel that this host, Loni, was excellent for many reasons. She really cares about those who stay in her home and communicates very well through the whole process. I felt like she cared that we had everything we needed and that we could find what we wanted around town. The house itself was very clean and I love the modern asian feel it had. We sort of missed the driveway when we first arrived and I now know why they recommend 4-wheel drive in the colder months. My Lincoln MKZ would not have made it up there if it was snowy or slippery at all. But, it wasn't as steep as some of the other place I've seen. I like that the house isn't really close to other houses and has a decent amount of privacy. The house had everything we were looking for and the hot tub was very relaxing. I kept looking for bears while in the hot tub since we saw so many at Cade's Cove and we saw a moma and her cubs while diving up the road to the place. One the last day we had a young one walk past the garbage cans and stop as I was coming out on the porch to load up the car. He stared at me and then walked into the woods. He was awfully close, but it was awesome! This house was so cool and I highly recommend it!! You probably won't find any place like it in the area!

Wonderful home in the Smoky Mountains
We had a wonderful stay at this home in the Smoky Mountains. It is in a calm and quiet area, but still close enough to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The views on all sides of the house are amazing. The deck area is nice and we really enjoyed the closed in porch with the fire pit. Three very nice bedrooms and plenty of space to gather. We also took advantage of the nice and easy to use sound system. Things could not have been better. And the owner, Loni, was very nice and very responsive. We would definitely stay there again.

The property is the perfect escape. Once we arrived we never left to explore. Having shopped prior to arriving we simply felt at peace and the property was an absolute joy. Only the two of us we had to act like children and stay in each bedroom on a different night. Amazingly each was outstanding little mini vacations within the same.
