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.

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!

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.

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!
