We had the best time at Windsong! The cabin is incredible, and the location is perfect. My kids loved it, and it was stocked with everything you need for a trip! So close to the Smoky Mtns. Natl. Park and all the great trails! Wonderful restaurants and coffee shops nearby too- the Townsend/ Wears Valley area is great. If you’re looking to head to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, it’s not too far either. Highly recommend and had a great time with our children!

This property is amazing! Beautiful and has everything u need to enjoy nature without even leaving. We loved the porch/swimspa and spent all available time outside . It is stocked with everything needed to enjoy without worry . We loved the speakers and all the amenities. The host was very good at communicating and responding to any questions. The area is perfect to be close to activities,but far enough away to feel secluded.

My boyfriend and I went and stayed at Windsong for 3 days. Although it was early February the trees, cabin and peace were incredible. The owner checked in with us, recommended places to eat and shop. We had a great stay!! If I could I would buy it and live there :)

This property is simply outstanding. The kitchen is fit for a professional chef, the bathrooms and showers are everything you could want, the beds are excellent, the place is clean, the grounds are peaceful and carefully curated, and it exceeded our expectations. We would (will) gladly stay there again. Overall excellent experience, and having stayed at dozens and dozens of VRBOs, I don't know that I've ever made that statement before staying at this property.

This was my first time in Knoxville and had to see the Smoky Mountains while there. My husband and I spent an incredible few days in the most beautiful and well equipped cabin we've ever stayed in. It had everything we needed which was great as there was severe winds and thunderstorms. Loni was am amazing host and checked in often to make sure we had everything or anything we could possibly need. We also enjoyed a quick 20 minute drive into Pigeon Forge which was amazing for food and shopping! We would stay with any rental from Loni again.

Stayed in the cabin for three nights and had an amazing time. The location is close enough to make any drive to stores or in town easy to do but provided plenty of seclusion from other cabins. The cabin is spacious and has every amenity you could need for a stay. The way it is decorated and the surrounding area will make you feel right at home. Outside, the patio area has plenty of seating arrangements and there is also a covered part that has its own fire pit for chillier nights. The hot tub was a big hit with our group, it functioned perfectly and was spacious enough for 6 people. Appliances all worked great and host set us up with everything we could need and stayed in constant communication with plenty of great recommendations around the area. Couldn’t have had a better experience!
