A 2-bedroom cabin with a spectacular view of the Great Smoky Mountains, Alpine Windsong is a delight to come home to after an action-packed day. Not only are the surroundings stunning and serene, but the cabin itself is a haven of calm and comfort. Every element of the home, from the outdoor hot tub to the deck rockers to the gas fireplace, encourages relaxation.

Located in Gatlinburg's private Cobbly Nob neighborhood-itself set within a 1,000-acre resort-Alpine Windsong has a back deck that stretches the width of the house and looks out over dense woodlands toward the Smoky Mountains. Enjoy your morning coffee while kicking back on one of the rocking chairs or the log swing; you'll be in laid-back vacation mode before you know it! Cook kabobs or fresh-caught trout on the gas grill-the fresh mountain air is an ideal seasoning-and then savor your meal out on the deck too, at the patio table. And luxuriate in the outdoor hot tub while wrens and swallows serenade you in the daytime or owls and whip-poor-wills sing you a lullaby at night.

French doors open from the deck into the living area, so that you can gaze out at the woodlands and feel the breeze even while stretched out on the new-and fabulously comfortable-sofa, love seat, or rocker recliner. If you can tear yourself away from the view, watch a movie on the 48-inch flat panel TV with cable and Netflix access or surf the web courtesy of the free Wi-Fi. And especially after a day on the ski slopes, you'll love warming up by the gas fireplace in its stacked-stone surround.

When you don't want to dine on the deck, you can all gather around the indoor dining table, which seats 6. Likewise, you're not limited to cooking on the gas grill. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances, cookware, tableware, and even a dishwasher.

Alpine Windsong has 2 bedrooms, with a split bedroom design, a layout that provides welcomed privacy. The primary bedroom, located near a full bathroom, has a king-size bed, a flat-screen TV, and a ceiling fan to lull you to sleep. This bedroom also has direct access to the deck, so you can enjoy a romantic glass of wine by moonlight before turning in for the night. The second bedroom features 2 queen-size beds, another flat-panel TV, and an en-suite bathroom with a jetted tub-just the thing after a day of hiking or biking the trails of the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Among the cabin's other amenities are a washer and dryer (here's a chance to return from vacation with a suitcase full of clean clothes!), a stereo system, and free long-distance calls throughout the U.S. and Canada. Another of Alpine Windsong's amenities is off-site: free access to Cobbly Nob's three pool areas in the summer.

Just a mile away from Alpine Windsong is the award-winning Bent Creek Golf Course, designed by legendary golfer Gary Player. Only slightly farther afield are the restaurants, shops, and amusements of downtown Gatlinburg; the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop, an 8-mile trail of more than 100 galleries, studios, and craft shops offering everything from stained glass to chainsaw art; and Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park and Ski Area. And no trip to the area would be complete without exploring-by foot, by bike, on horseback, or by car-the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

No matter how you spend your days, you'll relish returning to the pleasures of Alpine Windsong. Experience its calm and beauty for yourself. Make your reservation today!
