* There is one bedroom downstairs with a comfortable queen-sized bed, a stone electric fireplace and a private bathroom with a standing shower.
* Home theater and laundry facility are on this level.
* There’s a half bath on both the main level and downstairs to cater to the common areas.

On the upper level:
*The remaining three bedrooms are on the upper level. The first of these is the perfect slumber party room, with two twin beds, two full beds, and two custom-built queen-sized beds. Each bed has its own storage space and dimmable reading lights. Anyone who needs to get some work done during their stay can do so on the desk in this room, which seats two people.

☆☆ KITCHEN & LOUNGE ☆☆

The spacious kitchen is perfect for creating decadent feasts while socializing with friends and family. You’ll find everything you’ll need to whip up some food, including stainless steel appliances, spacious countertops, and plenty of cabinet space.

The kitchen is shared with the elegant dining area which receives plenty of natural light from the large windows. Enjoy stunning views while eating a delicious meal with friends and family.

Make your way to the comfortable lounge which features comfortable seating for your group on the sofa and armchairs. Sit back, relax, and watch a movie on the flat-screen TV or get some work done using the free wifi.


☆☆ MOVIE ROOM + GAME ROOM ☆☆

The cabin boasts its own movie theater and game room, complete with foosball, arcade games, and even a putt-putt course. Whether you're unwinding in the sauna or challenging friends in the game room, there's fun for everyone. Younger children will love the indoor playhouse.


☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆

Step outside to enjoy the Smokies' fresh air from one of three decks. Relax in the hot tub, fire up the grill, or gather around the fire pit for s'mores. With panoramic views of Mt. LeConte, this is the perfect place to reconnect with nature.

Downstairs, you’ll find another deck with plenty of seating, and a portable putting green. If you don’t feel like playing games, enjoy swaying on the porch swing and watching the action, or just breathe the fresh air while enjoying being immersed in nature.

☆☆ ROAD TO CABIN & PARKING☆☆

The roads leading to the cabin are mostly two-way and not too steep, except for the last 100 meters, which are one-way and slightly inclined. Although the 2-mile drive up Ski Mountain from the Gatlinburg Welcome Center is winding, 4WD is generally not required, though we recommend it during snowy winter months. Once you reach the cabin, you’ll be rewarded with the best scenic views.

Free parking for up to 5-7 cars is available at the front of the property.


☆☆ ACCESS TO CLUBHOUSE ☆☆

Our guests get access to the North Clubhouse which offers 3 swimming pools, tennis courts, a walking trail, ping pong, foosball, and assorted yard games. The pool is open from 9:00am - 9:00pm between Memorial Day weekend and Labor day. The North Clubhouse is closed Wednesdays for maintenance.

The North clubhouse also has a private banquet room available at an additional charge for family reunions, meetings, wedding receptions, and other events. Please contact us for additional information.


☆☆ Optional services (additional cost) ☆☆

☀ Grill & firepit: the grill and firepit (on the main porch) are free to use. However, no propane provided. No refund for unused propane.

☀ Pets: we welcome pets of all sizes as long as they are house-trained, recently groomed/cleaned, and up to date on their flea and tick medicines. Basic pet fee is $150 which covers up to 2 pets. After that it is $50 per additional pet. Please contact host if you plan on bringing more than 2 pets.

☀ Early check-in / late check-out: may be available for $50 per hour. Please ask the host at least 24 hours in advance.

** Due to inclement weather or unexpected circumstances, certain amenities may occasionally be unavailable. But we will always do our best to make your stay as fun and comfortable as possible.

Please also note that since we are located in the mountains, there may be animals and bugs around. We have monthly pest control but that doesn't guarantee they don't sneak in sometimes! Because these situations are beyond our control, we are unable to offer refunds for them. Thank you for understanding!

Great family getaway

We loved this cabin. It had the best game room of any cabin we have ever rented, and our son loved it very much. The host was very responsive and helpful. The road in is pretty steep and windy and some of our party didn’t love that, but the view was great and we would stay again.

The cabin was spacious and not lacking in entertainment! We spent quite a bit of time playing games and hanging out in the cabin!

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.

Nice stay in the Smokies

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.

Wonderful experience

We had a wonderful experience staying at morning star! Our whole family of 20 people had plenty of beds and bathrooms. The cabin had everything we needed and then some. Our children loved playing in the game room. The Mountain views were breathtaking. Much better views than Anakeesta. Watching the sun rise and set over the mountains was unforgettable. The cabin was a very short drive from the downtown area. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. I would receive a response minutes after sending a message. Thank you for the memories! We hope to be back someday soon.

Perfect family getaway!

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!

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!

Unbeatable view with all the amenities

We had a great stay here. The house was very well equiped and had all of the amenities! There was so much to do that we barely left the house while we were there except to use the neighborhood tennis and pickleball courts! When we did need something, Gatlinburg was a short drive and there was a nice little general store nearby if you didn't want to deal with the crowds. The best thing of all was the view on all 3 decks! The view was unbeatable! The property managers were also quick to reply to any questions and we had zero issues. Thanks! :)

Awesome views and a beautiful place to stay

We rented the house to celebrate with our family after getting married. The beds were comfortable, the views were amazing, and the arcade room was a great additon to our stay. There were several curious bears that wandered on to the property. One even tried to open the door to one of our cars! The only downside to our stay was we were told there was an air hocky table before we booked but there wasn't one in the game room when we arrived, the road to the cabin is steep and windy but just drive a little slower and it's ok. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back with a large group of people. 😃

Family Reunion

Our stay was nothing short of wonderful! We had 20 people (adults down to a 2 yo) and there was plenty of space for everyone to sleep and enjoy the house. I will say that even the fridge is big, for a party our size, we had some spacing isuses with the fridge, but that's not on the host - that's more so large families are take into consideration. We had great weather and primarily used the outside space for dining so eating space wasn't an issue for us - just be mindful if you're eating inside, you can seat about up to 10 people in the same area. The views are spectacular and the kids all loved the arcade area and the room with the bunk beds. They had space to play, hang out, watch movies - we couldn't have asked for a better house for kids 2-15! We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return if we're in the area!

Weekend Getaway

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!

Family Wedding Venue

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!

Amazing views

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.

Family Christmas Weekend

We met at the cabin with four generations of family for an early Christmas. The cabin was so pretty and the view is fabulous. The kids loved the game room and the bunk room. There are tv’s everywhere and plenty of places to curl up to rest or visit. The decks are very nice. Hot tub was clean and warm. (We ran to the store for extra paper towel, dishwasher tabs and toilet paper.) Be sure to keep food out of your cars. We had bear prints on our car two hours after we unloaded our groceries. Maybe they smelled the food that had been in there. We didn’t allow the little kids outside without adults, but it was too cold anyway. The mountain drive up is windy, but easy if you take your time. Lots of amazing cabins to see driving up, But this one is at the top! It was clean and everything was working fine. The blackstone was rusty, but we oiled it good and cooked fine on it. We purchased two propane tanks for the fire pit and grills and left them there. I’d say it’s the honor system on that. The fire pit was relaxing and so nice. I recommend this cabin. We had 7 adults, 5 kids and 1 teen comfy as can be.

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!
