* 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.

* The second bedroom on the top floor has a plush king-sized bed and access to a private deck that offers breathtaking views of Mt. LeConte.

☆☆ 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!

The cabin was in excellent shape and the kitchen well stocked. The bedrooms were the perfect layout for our family of 3 couples, 2 single adults and 6 grands. The only issue, which is an important one, is that the cage around the trash was NOT SECURED IN THE GROUND in the parking area. Two of our vehicles received long scratches and dents from a bear throwing the cage around in the designated parking area. The only response was that the cage was moved. There was no further discussion or follow up by the host.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with a week in the Great Smoky Mountains with all our children and grandchildren. Our Chalet Village North home comfortably accommodated all 13 of us. We especially enjoyed the spectacular views from the upper deck, the fire pit, and the hot tub. A well-equipped kitchen and large dining table and a bar top allowed us to cook and eat some of our meals together at home. The house is conveniently located near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and all the local Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge attractions. Some in our family also enjoyed the game room and the nearby Village North Clubhouse pool.

Amazing views and plenty of places to sit outside. We had four families ranging in ages from 5 to 82, and everyone had a great time. The enormous decks made the house feel larger than it was and the AC was strong enough that we did not feel the scorching 95 degree heat at all inside. The kids loved the large bunk room and arcade room, while the adults appreciated the comfortable beds and ample bathrooms. There were several empty propane tanks left behind by prior guests, so getting one recharged was easy - 2 mile drive to ACE Hardware store, and 25 for a refill. Separate gas grill and Blackstone flattop made it easy to feed a large group. But two things: (1) the road is steep and windy, so beware in winter months and (2) the bears aren't shy...I was cavalier about it and left the windows down when we pulled in and two bears stole a few bags from my Jeep when i was doing the initial walk-thru of the house, and they opened the door to another car that was left unlocked. But an amazing trip and house rental overall. Everyone wanted to return for another week in the future.

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.

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.

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.

Please come prepared to this property

If you are visiting, bring your own coffee and coffee filters. Also bring toilet paper and garbage bags as well as dishwasher soap and paper towels. Bears actually got into our cars while we were still unpacking. Don’t forget to lock your cars! Three bears opened car doors and unzipped suitcases. unfortunately, the host was not available as advertised to give us an access code at 3:45. We we arrived at 4, we called repeatedly and tried to get help from Vrbo, but the help only sent us back to the host phone. Which went straight to voicemail. I was convinced that we had been scammed and was trying to figure out how to get other accommodations for 24 people. The host said the booking software had somehow failed and she didn’t answer because her phone was charging. There were also not enough sheets and towels for the number of guests we had. The views were fantastic, but the host did not make it relaxing.

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! :)
