We had a blast staying at this cabin. It was a great location that was close enough to everything we wanted to do (rafting, fishing, shopping, hiking) but a nice quiet retreat to rest at the end of the day. Great view, quiet area but still close enough to all the fun that you don’t waste all day driving.

Great, peaceful place!

The view is amazing from all of the decks!

Thanks for your kind words, Jessica. We're glad you enjoyed the amazing views from the decks. Hope to host you again soon!

Our family reunion of seven people, including 2 toddlers, was great thanks to this cabin. The property included baby gates, extra fans, pack n’ play.. my husband LOVED the old school arcade games upstairs. We utilized all 3 bathrooms with comfort. The hot tub was nice and warm. The beds were comfortable. The kids loved being able to run around together and rough house with their cousin and uncle. I loved having the Keurig and kid plates as well. Everything was clean. Definitely, would love to stay again.

This was my first time using Vrbo to find a place to stay. The cabin was beautiful and close to all activities. We did zorbing, ziplining, horseback riding etc. and at the end of each day we couldn’t wait to get back to “our cabin” . My son clogged the toilet the second day and as soon as I let Elsie know she sent someone over.I recommend this for any family going to pigeon forge or gatlinberg.

Very responsive host house was very clean and beautiful.

Cabin was everything we needed for a nice little get away from home. Beds were super comfortable which made it even better. Definitely will be staying again in the future!!

We enjoyed our stay, beautiful location

Communicated very well & fast. Beautiful place. Most definitely would stay again.

- Posted: 3/9/2025

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was very nice and very clean. Our kids were disappointed that the hot tub was not working during our stay, but other than that we were very happy.

- Posted: 2/9/2025

Recomiendo esta cabaña , nuestro anfitrión Justin hizo todo lo posible porque nuestra estadía fuera perfecta respondió en todo momento y siempre estuvo al pendiente de nuestra situación ya que vivimos una tormenta de nieve estando en la cabaña , el lugar es precioso y la ubicación increíble apartado en las montañas pero a solo minutos del pueblo .

- Posted: 1/13/2025

We had such a great stay. Justin was extremely accommodating and responsive, and the location was right where we needed it to be

- Posted: 12/15/2024

Property was very clean and very nice. Looked just like pictures. This was my first time in the mountains, so the steep hills were very surprising. If you are unfamiliar with this area, I would suggest to make your way to the cabin while there’s still sunlight. Check in and check out went very smooth. No issues. Will book with them in the future.

- Posted: 12/8/2024

The cabin is very comfortable, ideal for a family trip. The view is amazing!!!

- Posted: 11/27/2024

We spent a few days at this property on a family vacation and were very pleased with everything. Location was close to surrounding towns, making restaurants, grocery stores and activities easy to access. The cabin had ample space for our family of 9 with plenty of bedding and extras like a playpen and highchair. The views were beautiful, and we enjoyed sitting on one of the 3 porches to take them in. The hot tub was clean and our favorite way to end the day. One thing to note, especially if arriving in the dark, the entrance is marked by two large trees. It doesn't look like you should drive through but it is a road. Also the road up to the cabin is steep and it can be a little difficult to spot which cabin it is at night. Once you know your way it is easy to navigate in and out. That being said, we would definitely stay here again, and look forward to the next time we can visit!

- Posted: 11/7/2024

Beautiful home & breathtaking views! Very fast and prompt communication with host! Can't wait to come back!!

- Posted: 8/2/2024

The cabin was amazing and had an amazing view. The cabin is on a steep road so be prepared ! However our overall experience was nice!!

- Posted: 6/30/2024

Imagine waking up to the chirping of birds and a fabulous view of the Smoky Mountains right through your window. This place has it—warm, serene, and surrounded by nature. We enjoyed the drive up to the mountains and were also fortunate to witness a mama bear and cub crossing the nearby road.
Justin and his crew were very responsive and cared for our needs. When we raised a suggestion regarding kitchen utensils, the team went above and beyond to address it right away. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and the play room. Both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are easily accessible from this cabin.

- Posted: 6/23/2024

Thanks for the awesome review, Dixon! I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at my cabin and got to witness some of the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. I'm happy to hear that my team and I were able to quickly address your suggestion for kitchen utensils. It's important to me that my guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. Come back and visit anytime!

Our stay at the Smoky Morningstar cabin was nothing short of magical. The cabin's breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains left us in awe. Whether we were sipping coffee on the deck or relaxing in the hot tub, the scenery was simply mesmerizing. The cabin's cleanliness and spacious layout made it a perfect retreat for two families. The well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and convenient proximity to Pigeon Forge attractions made our stay unforgettable.

- Posted: 3/30/2024

Thanks a ton for the amazing review, Lucas! Super thrilled you soaked in those breathtaking Smoky Mountain views from the deck and hot tub. And how awesome is it that the cabin's cleanliness and spacious layout made for the perfect retreat for you and your families? I'm all about that well-equipped kitchen and comfy beds, so I'm stoked you loved them too. Plus, being close to Pigeon Forge attractions? Totally adds to the unforgettable stay! Thanks a million for choosing to stay with me, and I'm already counting down the days till I get to host you again!

Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

Pros: nice cabin, great views central air and heat ,soft beds, tvs in every room, hot tub was nice, cons: fireplace didn’t work, small towels and not enough wash cloths, couldn’t work some tv’s because the remotes didn’t have batteries in it, there was no bedroom with it’s on bathroom. But overall this is a great cabin and we had a ball.

First let say that the cabin is on main road going up, you don't have to turn off. It's near the top on the right. Pretty steep but easily accessible, up to 3 cars will fit in front for parking. Inside kitchen is stocked with everything to cook meals as well as a keurig and coffee pot. They have a bathroom on each level "3". The game room is upstairs and has a queen hidabed. The main floor has the master and downstairs has 3 bedrooms. One with twin bunkbeds, another with a queen bed and the 3rd has 2 queen beds and a futon. The hot tub is outside this room. All 3 levels have full decks and a beautiful view!

10/10 Definitely recommend! Justin is very responsive on messages. He gave me lots of detailed information about the place that we were staying at and the surrounding areas. The road that leads to the driveway is very steep, so keep in mind what vehicle you're driving. It wasn't a problem for us, since we brought 2 trucks. As for Check-in, it was very easy, he sent me a video beforehand to help me figure out how to get in. We had some trouble using the remote control for the tv, so I messaged Justin about it and he quickly responded to me and got the problem solved. The place was really clean and spacious, it has a beautiful view of the mountains, and we enjoyed using the hot tub! I would definitely come back again!

Hi Christine, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Smoky Morningstar!

We traveled here with my wife and three kids. We loved the property, it is well taken care of. Very clean. Communication with owner was good. Only downfall was after arriving we set the thermostats to a comfortable temp, however the downstairs AC was not working. We contacted the owner and he sent a handyman over the next day who said he fixed it and did not. I contacted him again and he said “The handyman said he fixed it.” I guess that was good enough for the owner. However the problem was not fixed. We did receive a partial refund without asking which was appreciated. Overall we would definitely stay here again!!!

- Posted: 9/8/2023

Hi Caleb, It's great to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the property and that it was well taken care of and clean.

Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

This was our first time visiting the area. The house was beautiful with amazing views from the balconies. We have 5 kids and were happy to see a second railing around the hot tub for safety!
The house was very clean. We were provided with linens for every bed (and sofa couches!), towels, hotel size shampoo/soap, some laundry pods, dishwasher tabs, garbage bags, dish soap and a sponge. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We even had propane left from another guest for the grill (thank you!)
Justin provided us with many recommendations to explore in the area and coupons for different attractions which came in handy! Any questions we had, Justin was able to answer quickly.
Another review said it was a steep road to get to the cabin, and it is! The parking area is flat. We had enough room for a 3rd row SUV and a full size pickup, and we were able to walk around them, but no other vehicles would have been able to park.
Highly recommend the house and host!

- Posted: 8/26/2023

Hi Katelyn, Thanks for the great review! I'm so glad you had a wonderful time and that you were able to use the propane left from another guest for the grill. It's great to hear that you had enough room for your vehicles and that you were able to take advantage of the coupons and recommendations I provided. I'm sorry about the steep road to get to the cabin - I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience. Thanks for your visit and I hope you'll come back for another stay soon!
