Beautiful views!

The cabin was very charming, but felt like it wasn't cleaned. Found items around the cabin that were left from previous guests. A half eaten banana was left on the back porch as well! Also, be prepared if you are going in the fall that it is CROWDED!!!! We had never been so we were shocked at how bad the traffic was and even just walking down the sidewalk was a mess.

Great Family Cabin!

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!

Beautiful cabin!

This cabin was so warm and welcoming - the perfect size for my husband, me and our two kids. We swam at the pool every day, played pool/checkers, saw so many things in Pigeon Forge. We even saw bears! The view was spectacular and the cabin was so clean and well-stocked

Beautiful Cabin!

We come to Gatlinburg almost every year. We have loved Gatlinburg Falls for many of those trips! This cabin was clean, beautiful, and had such a pretty view! We even got to see two bears on my daughter’s Birthday! That is all she wanted lol. The kitchen was well stocked and even had a waffle maker! Also a plus for our birthday girl! It was the perfect stay, and we wish we could have stayed longer! Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing cabin, amazing views!

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cabin! The cabin was very clean, had everything we needed and we loved all the bear decorations. The hot tub was a great feature for us as well. This cabin is close to shops, restaurants and stores. The views were stunning from both decks and we even had 4 bears walk right behind the cabin that we watched from the deck! There was an issue with the water heater the day before we were supposed to leave and unfortunately David wasn’t able to get anyone there to look at it. We did leave that day but David gave us a refund for the last night that we couldn’t stay. Things happen and we would not let that stop us from staying here again!! Can’t wait to come back!

Gorgeous Cabin in great location

The Morning Star was the perfect spot! We were close enough to take quick Uber rides downtown and still were far enough away from the craziness to enjoy peaceful, scenic views. The place was impeccably clean and so spacious. We loved it! David was helpful and responded to us right away when we reached out.

Comfortable, clean and well stocked cabin

This was the perfect stay for our family with young children. We were looking for something very close to everything and without a scary drive up a mountain. The cabin had so much to do, beautiful views and was the perfect spot for our family’s spring break.

Absolutely beautiful!

This was our first time staying at this cabin, but hopefully not our last! Everything was perfect! It was very clean with plenty of supplies. The view from both balconies was just amazing! The cabin was definitely big enough for our group of five adults. I would really love to return to this cabin again, hopefully soon! Thank you so much!

Great location and views

Very nice cabin with great views of the Smokies from both levels and easy access to everything. Well stocked kitchen and nice sized dining table. We very much enjoyed the game room and hot tub. This has been our overall favorite place we’ve rented in the Gatlinburg area. Communication was great. Thanks for an awesome week away.

About the host

Hosted by David Bender

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.
