In case of inclement weather, unexpected events, or necessary repairs, certain amenities may be closed and unavailable during your stay. We cannot guarantee the availability of each amenity.
We do our best to make all visits as enjoyable as possible by having regular pest control services, but we can't guarantee that you won't see any insects. We are close to nature so there may also be some animals around and we can't control where they play!
*It's ladybug season in the mountains from now until about the 3rd week of November! This means you'll likely see them around (and sometimes maybe inside) the cabin.
Because the above situations are out of our control, we do not provide refunds for them.

This cabin is beautiful and the view is even better.
4.9
Great location, with many comfy beds and beautiful views. The hot tub was a hit and we also used the community pool several times. Several bear sightings during our visit! Functional kitchen that served our needs, a blackstone and grill added to the convenience. Water pressure in the showers is very gentle but all bathrooms work well (and there are tons!) Plenty of places to hang out with groups or solo, but the dinner table only accommodate 8.8.
4.9
Overall a good experience, refrigerator doors weren’t closing, therefore warm water & no ice, no register on vent in living room but moved one from bedroom to the living room to protect the baby.
4.9
Incredible views with great amenities at the cabin itself, all a short distance from many landmarks. Would highly recommend.
4.9
Went to this cabin with 14 people total. Unbeatable views of the mountains! We actually went atop Anakeesta mountain via the gondola and the views were much less impressive than our views from the cabin’s deck. Plenty of hanging out space and sleeping space for all. Property was extremely clean and host was super responsive when questions arose. Location was excellent as it provides easy drives to downtown Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. I would have liked the house to have more trash bags (had maybe 5-6) as well as usual house condiments (butter, mayo, oils, etc) as the property didn’t have anything in that regards. Plenty of parking spaces, we saw bears on numerous occasions right from our deck, and very clean cabin overall. Would highly recommend!
4.9
The best part of this house are definitely the views. The house itself had a good layout for our families to stay for our wedding weekend. Enough space for everyone and dog friendly for our best man. The arcade games were great for the kiddos and adults. I would recommend this house.
4.9
The home is lovely but very small kitchen and living area on main floor to accommodate up to 25 guests. We had nine adults and were unable to all be together on the main floor. The bottom level could accommodate more but steep stairs kept the older family members from being able to go down. That being said, everything else was fantastic. The views at sunrise were spectacular, napping on the porch bed was so relaxing, and the over-sized hot tub was a favorite. The trip up To the chalet is curvy and a little challenging but that’s what the adventure is about and part of the memories you make. Thank you to the owners for making communication so effortless and keeping up informed every step of the way. Our week at Morning Star was a joyful time…. even with tornado watches and crazy storms…the majority of the guests were professional photographers and loved all that nature provided. Loved our stay!
4.9
Beautiful property plenty of room for 18 owner was prompt with questions
If I had to give any suggestions it would be more cooking supplies like mixing bowls and baking sheets cooking for large groups was challenging but we made it work can’t wait to go back to gatlinburg
4.9
Perfect location and stellar views!
4.9
The kitchen and living look bigger in the photos than they actually are. It’s advertised for sleeping 24 but it’s realistically more like 20, especially if your group is mostly adults and teens. For example two of the bunk beds are for kids under 9 (about 4 x3 feet in dimensions ). Also the kitchen is too small if you’re preparing food for 20+ people. The living can maximally sit 7 people. The balcony kind of makes up for it with the outside chairs if the weather is nice. One of the beds was broken when we arrived. It was fixed the second night but two people slept on the floor. The owner did not entertain a partial refund!
4.9
Clean and lots of room. The kids loved the game room!
If we go back to Gatlinburg with a big group, we’d definitely stay here again.
4.9
Awesome time

4.9
Awesome!!!
4.9
Communication with the property owner was great. Check in process was easy. Construction going on close by but didn't really bother us because some of the kids were up early anyway. Gorgeous view and loved this cabin!. The game room was a life savior with the kids and kept them entertained. The bedrooms were very comfortable. Not every place is perfect but, this one was awesome. Hope to come back and visit again. Loved all of the ammenitites!
4.9
The cabin was decorated very warm with Christmas theme ….This cabin is very clean and looks brand new! Very homey and the arcade was a life-saver for all our grandkids! Views were the best we’ve ever had
4.9
This was the perfect family retreat for our family with eight adults, five kids/teens and small dogs. Plenty of great areas to get together as well as room for everyone to have their own space. The decks with the most amazing view was our favorite spot! Close to town and hikes and we saw two bears! A memorable family Thanksgiving for sure!
4.9
The cabin was spacious and not lacking in entertainment! We spent quite a bit of time playing games and hanging out in the cabin! The decks were a fun place to hang out and enjoy the breath taking views as well. We had no issues, just a few quick questions that the host was very responsive with. A great place to stay!
4.9
We really enjoyed our stay here! It was our first trip with a large group of our family and this house was the perfect place for it. We had 16 people and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their space. The game room was amazing…I think the adults enjoyed it as much as the kids! The view of the mountains was breathtaking and the outside was set up perfectly to soak it all in. The owner was very quick to respond to messages and she even had a muffin tin delivered to make sure I had what I needed to celebrate our family members birthdays. We would definitely stay here again!
4.9
Beautiful views of the mountains. Comfortable n cozy cabin, nice furniture n decor, nice driveway, comfortably fit 2 pickup trucks n 3 SUV. The drive up to the cabin, not to bad for being that high, you just need to careful with the tight turns.
This was a family trip and it was really nice.
4.9
This place was absolutely amazing! The kids enjoyed the game room and the adults loved the outdoor seating. There wasn’t a ton of room in the living room or kitchen but that didn’t bother us because we stayed on the deck more than anything. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had. The view was breath taking! We also had bears come visit every night which was awesome! Highly recommend!
4.9
We chose this cabin mainly because there was plenty of room for our large family to stay comfortably. We had a surprise 50th birthday party for my husband and having the whole family there was a priority. Then you add the game room for the kids, who were in heaven, the large decks with the fire pit, hot tub and plenty of seating for our big group to just hang out and enjoy our time together. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook whatever we wanted. We brought paper plates and plastic utensils but they was no need, this cabin had it covered. I brought extra towels thinking there is never enough. There was an abundance of those too.
Very clean and just a beautiful cabin.
We were fortunate enough the get the best experience when the 3 bears showed up and wanted to check things out. We were actually cooking bacon on the Blackstone at the time but they didn’t seem to care about that. One had climbed into the back of one of the trucks parked there. We were able to get lots of pictures and videos safely from inside. Speaking of parking. We had enough for everyone to park. I can say that the majority of the large cabins in the area didn’t have that. You'd be lucky to get 2. Pet friendly was a huge plus as well. Did I mention the view. We were early for the fall colors but WOW. Cool mornings and evenings just topped it off.
I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone. The price was not out of range. Just bring your food, everything else is covered.
4.9
The location of this home offers views that are truly spectacular. Mountain views in all directions, every bedroom had great views as well. The back decks were a big hit with everyone in the group and we spent most of the time out there, enjoying the hot tub, fire pit, comfy lounge areas.
Plenty of room for our group of 13. Great game room for the kids too!
When we arrived there were no propane tanks for the firepit or grill, owner was responsive in getting some delivered to us by the time we wanted a fire at night.
A pipe was leaking in a bathroom upstairs so we couldn't use the sink for a day or so until that got fixed, so some inconveniences on the short trip.
Wasn't the cleanest property we've been to.
A lot of dust inside and out, cob webs, and dirty windows.... but other than that the house was a great place to stay.
Kitchen had plenty of dishes and pans for meals.
4.9
This place was beautiful and high quality!
4.9
Stayed with a total of 4 families, 8 adults and 9 kids (ages 3 to 7). Plenty of comfortable bed spots for all in this spacious home. The "bunk room" on the second floor was an ideal spot for the 7 kids between the ages of 5 and 7. Each couple had their own bedroom.
Between the arcade, the bunk room and theater seating area, there was no shortage of spots for the kids to hang out inside. The outdoor deck space immediately off the kitchen/dining/living area was the spot where the adults spent the most time. The view from this property could not have been better with Mt. Le Conte looming large over Gatlinburg in an unobstructed panoramic view.
The outdoor cooking area (propane grill and Blackstone flat top) made meal prep for 17 of us an easy task. There was no shortage of supplies for meal prep as well. Ski Mountain pizza was quite good and able to deliver directly to the house!
Gatlinburg was around a 15 minute drive down the mountain (could go either direction depending on what side of town you wanted to visit).
The bear warning is 100% legit. We had bears visit at least once each day (once in the AM and almost always around dinner time). It was clear past visitors disregarded the warning to avoid feeding as in all cases the bears were clearly expecting something from us. 2 times the bears were able to open (unlocked) car doors and rummage around!
Property access and communication with the owner was seamless. 100% recommend this property!
4.9
Our group enjoyed this property. The kids loved the game room. The view was well worth traveling the roads up to the home.

Amazing

We just finished a week stay and had a great experience with the property. The cabin was clean and easily housed three generations of our family. Although we ventured out on several occasions in search of lookout points and views of the mountain, everyone agreed we should have just stayed at the cabin- the views were breathtaking. We had 2 bear sightings at the cabin and another 3 around the neighborhood- a highlight of the trip! Though it is a steep and windy drive up to the property (coming from someone used to flat and coastal!), it really wasn’t far to get to the national park trails, downtown Gatlinburg, and other amusements. We had one day of really bad weather and we’re not able to get down the mountain due to road closures, but the cabin had more than enough to keep us busy! We appreciated to starter pack of trash bags/bath supplies/toilet paper etc., they were more than enough to get us through a few days of the trip (and in some cases the whole week). The property owners were prompt and responsive, and provided detailed and timely information and responses. Thanks for a fabulous stay.

Great property! We got to witness multiple bears from the deck which was the highlight of our trip for the kids. Nice location, easy to get to everything. Setup was nice with 3 levels for multiple families. Owner was great with communication.
Game room was fabulous and kept the kids busy for hours, even the toddlers.
4.9
Was not five bedrooms

Morning Star was everything that was advertised and more. Rhoda was excellent and communicated with us before, during, and after our stay with prompt and important information. Probably one of the best views of the Smokey Mountains that you can ever see. We will be returning again soon.
4.9
Our family of three brothers and their families (17) ppl decided to plan a quick trip to Gatlinburg. I scrolled through so many choices but luckily landed on this beautiful family friendly chalet. We arrived on Sunday and seamlessly checked in. I received a message from Rhoda checking in on us that afternoon. Great communication from booking to checking out. The pictures are accurate but don’t do the place justice it’s a beautiful place. There were plenty of dishes, blankets and towels for everyone. The hot tub lighting and gas fireplaces all worked perfectly.The view is just amazing of the mountains. The game room was fun for everyone. Our 2 yr old baby niece loved playing on the mat and rope ladder. This is a place made for families to laugh, rest, and play together. We would definitely come back.
4.9
The property was in great shape and was just as advertised. Tough to wake up to better views and the sunsets are pretty amazing too! Rhoda was incredibly responsive and made the stay super easy. Would come back again!
4.9
This cabin was perfect! We had a group of friends 12 adult men & it was plenty spacious for us. Everything worked perfectly fine and any questions we had the host responded quickly. The view of from this cabin was mesmerizing. Not a far drive from downtown gatlinburg either. An absolute 10/10 stay and would recommend this cabin for any family or group of friends!
4.9
The cabin was beautiful! Spacious room for a family trip. Took family down for the their first time and they were all really impressed. The rental offered so much for us to do entertainment wise while we stayed. It was really clean, everything we needed was there. From the kitchen to the shower. The nights were really relaxing, hot tub, sauna and the comfortable furniture. 10/10 I highly recommend this to anyone that is looking forward to a great time and stay.
4.9
We came with three grandchildren, two of and children and a sister. There was plenty of space to get away from each other. What we found was the space brought all together. Our son loves to cook. So we spent time crowded in the kitchen and dining area talking. The cabin brought us all closer together.
The views of the mountains were amazing. We enjoying grilling, the hot tub and eating outside.
Great place to bring a family together.
4.9
We had a bumpy start to our stay, but this was in no way the fault of the cabin/owners. A car was parked in our driveway which was blocking us from parking. The owner was quick to respond and resolve the issue in a matter of minutes!
The cabin is beautifully kept and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! It was spotless and the game room was a huge hit for our group! Each floor has an incredible view of the mountains and you can even see parts of Ober! The construction that is mentioned in the description was not an issue for us (except for the person blocking our driveway!).
We utilized the kitchen for nearly every meal and it had everything we needed to cook for a large crowd. The Wi-Fi was down when we arrived but it didn’t bother us until the next day when we wanted to watch a football game. The owner arranged for Spectrum to come out and we were back up and running in no time. The owner even sent us a thank you gift for the trouble even though it was not anything they could have helped. I can’t say enough great things about this place and I hope you and yours enjoy it as much as we did! Highly recommended!
