Perfect cozy cabin getaway. Loved the close proximity to the park. The hot tub was great to have after the long hikes in the Smokey Mnts and the place was spotless. The cabin stocked the basics. We did need to purchase a few extras: bear spray, a cutting board and cooking spray for our stay.

If you are looking for a cute cabin, this is it. If you want mountain views, it is not. This location puts you right by the GSMNP so if you are headed into the park to hike and explore it is a great location. We are in our 70’s and wanted more of a view from a deck or porch .The cabin had everything we needed.

I was very impressed with how stocked the kitchen was *even though we didn't cook there). It was extremely clean which made it even more enjoyable. The only complaint I had was it had a very strong musty smell that was very overpowering.

My husband and I took our 10 year anniversary trip to the Smokies this past week. We stayed at Mountain Mist Cabins- Dancing in the Moonlight. It was clean, well-stocked, and the perfect location for everything we wanted to do. We spend most of our time in the Smoky Mountains at Cades Cove, and this cabin was very close by. It was an easy trip to Cades every day. The hot tub was very clean and was the perfect night time ritual for us after biking, horseback riding, and walking in the streams on the parkway all day. We will definitely book here for the rest of our planned trips to TN. Hosts are very responsive and checked in on us a few times. Excellent all around!
