Spacious and clean!

We had a lovely visit, there was a ton of room for 6 of us plus a dog! Hot tub was great, and the outdoor/patio area is beautiful. The only thing was the toilets were not really flushing/upstairs toilet was leaking the whole time, so we just used a hand towel on the floor. Another toilet didn't have water in it so we had to fill it. Other than that we had a great stay!

This property can be perfect

We now it it was fall time of the year when we where there But if the decks had a roof on them this would be a perfect cabin.I had to clean the decks off and the chairs and tables in the morning covered with wet leaves so when we came home later they would be dry so we can use the decks and chairs and table also with all the wet leaves needed 4 wheel drive to make it up the driveway they needed to blow off the leaves off the driveway

Beautiful Views

We enjoyed our stay at Shooting Star. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and this house was big enough to accommodate all of us without being cramped. All of the bedrooms were roomy, with 2 master bedrooms (1 upstairs & 1 down) it was perfect for our 2 families. The rental was pretty much spotless & provided enough soap, toilet paper and trash bags to get us through a few days and had plenty of towels for everyone, which is a nice change from some of the other rentals we have had. The reason for my 4 stars is the pillows are pretty flat (an easy fix) and there are several outdoor areas to hang out, but no covered patio or deck areas - of course it rained the entire week we were there. But that can be easily fixed by the rental company, just put a market style umbrella in the outdoor table. This is a great house that feels very secluded while you are there, but is close enough to all of the fun in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge.

A disappointment

While the photos and description of the property were wonderful, the reality was less than desirable. The hot tub and Wi-Fi didn’t work. There was a strong smell of mold in the house. We arrived on Sunday, and it took until Tuesday for them to come and look at these issues. But worst of all, we discovered bed bugs in one of the bedrooms.We moved out that day. Eventually, they gave us a full refund. After all was said and done, it was a great disappointment.

Beautiful view, lots of space, needs updated

My family stayed here on our summer vacation before the kids all go off to college. There was plenty of space for the seven of us. We enjoyed the back deck a lot. The house is in need of a lot of updating. Has potential to be a beautiful home. Decor is extremely out dated, the beds were OK at best, our backs all hurt. The house had a musky smell so I used deodorizing spray to help. The carpets are all stained. The couches are not comfortable and are dingy. The pool table is not in a separate room. It’s in a small room off the side of what I assume is the upstairs master. There is also a master downstairs. The pool table room is small so it’s cramped making it hard to actually play. The ping pong table in the garage was a hit for us. We did not use the hot tub, it was dirty. Over all we enjoyed our stay as we wanted to make the best of our vacation. I would not book the particular house again.

Wonderful view in a good location for our group

We rented the house for our group of 2 50-somethings and 4 20-somethings. The layout of bedrooms was perfect for us, with plenty of space in the living room for games and TV watching. We liked that it was a bit away from the bustle of Gatlinburg and that we could get where we wanted (Dollywood, the National Park, a couple of outings nearby--Hartford was a good spot) without having to go into Gatlinburg, but still get to a good grocery store (Food City) and into town for ourn1 venture in. We mostly LOVED the wonderful view from the deck and sat out there each morning and evening. Bring bug spray! As others have noted some furnishings and fixtures were a bit dated and worn, but it worked fine for our group.

Beds were comfortable, although I got woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of something clawing in the ceiling above me. Since we were in the woods I figured it was a Squirrel or raccoon. The dishwasher already had dishes in it when we arrived, and although they were clean it didn't think we should have to put them up. Back sliding glass door was kinda to open. Front door code would not let us in once, had to reenter the code like 5 times before it finally opened.

Beautiful place but needs work

This is a beautiful place but needs some updates. Counter has cracks, chips of paint missing, Toilets needed cleaning. Just cosmetics things. The biggest and prettiest bedroom is on the top floor. Wish it had been on the bottom. The pool table needs to be in garage with the ping pong table can't really use the pool table not enough room WE tried. Love the deck and wish there had been more chairs. But we had a great time good place if you are not a picky person.

Could use some TLC

My family and I enjoyed this property. It was about 30 minutes from most attractions, but the area was beautiful. The house could us a maintenance follow through and some furniture updates. There were 10 of us but seating for only 6 and several outdoor and one indoor seat was chair was broken. A Couple of the handles in the bathrooms were striped and we had to set them so the kids wouldn’t get burned from hot water when turning water on. Several floor tiles missing grout and rocking.These are all things that routine maintenance would find.

Great Location, Some General Maintenance Needed

Wonderful location, easy to get to, and the cabin was clean and well-kept. There were some minor maintenance issues (light bulbs out, rickety chairs, etc...) that didn't really bother us, but I could see bothering some. I've come to expect most of those kinds of issues when dealing with rental cabins; it seems to be a fairly common problem. The property was more generous than most with consumables (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher detergent, etc...). All in all we enjoyed our stay and would return to the cabin again.

Get the travel insurance!

Overall the home was nice. A little outdated and too far away from all the entertainment. We didn’t purchase the travel insurance because we were definitely going. We checked in on day 1 of our vacation and had just come back from grocery shopping and getting all settled in when my sister called to let me know our daddy had been found dead at his home! We stayed the one night due to the weather being too bad for us to drive the 7 hours to my daddy’s home. I emailed and asked if they could find it in their hearts to refund SOME of our money but, was refused. Obviously we are very disappointed.
