This cabin felt extremely clean and welcoming from the second we stepped inside! We absolutely loved staying here. Even in the midst of our 6 month old’s sleep regression, we enjoyed this cabin so much - the games, hot tub, balconies were all wonderful. My older boys want to book it again already for next year! Thanks for the weekend.

We loved our stay at Morning Star! The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, the bathrooms were very clean, and my son and husband loved the arcade games in the basement. The owners are super responsive and helpful when needed. Thanks for a fantastic experience!

Spring Break Getaway

Fantastic cabin in an excellent location. Amazing views of the mountains. Enjoyed using the hot tub after our adventures during the day and playing many games of pool. Our family of four really enjoyed our stay and had more than enough room. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent mountain getaway

My husband and I drove to the Smoky Mountains to pickup our boys and to spend the long weekend hiking. This was a great place to stay, being so close to downtown Gatlinburg and easy access to the National Park. Our boys especially loved the arcade games at the property. We would certainly love to stay here again should we make it back to the area in the future.

Great cabin and great location

We had a great week in the mountains with our teenage boys. Cabin was great and we had plenty of room for all 6 of us. Perfect location where you are close to town but also far enough away to be in the mountains. Only bummer was pool wasn’t working all week and we would have liked to use that.

Wonderful family vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at the Morning Star cabin. Beautiful view of the mountains! Our family enjoyed the hot tub, pool table and community pool (which we had to ourselves most of the time). Only suggestion would for the showers to be updated. Would definitely recommend staying at the Morning Star!

About the host

Host profile image
We are truly excited to be owners of this cabin! It is our goal to provide a fabulous experience to each and every guest that chooses Morning Star for making lasting memories. We love the Gatlinburg area and enjoy spending time exploring the beautiful trails and mountain scenery. Even though our kids are grown we still like to take in the attractions....I guess we're still kids at heart. We would love to share our cabin with you and look forward making your stay an awesome experience!

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase a cabin in Gatlinburg because we love the Tennessee mountain area. Gatlinburg Falls Resort is the premier location for vacation homes and our goal was to find a cabin with spectacular mountain views! It is very close to downtown Gatlinburg and more importantly an easy drive to the cabin. Morning Star is a great size for families, couples, and friends. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
