We had a wonderful extended weekend at Mountain Star with our family over the New Year Holiday! The cabin was beautiful and was decorated for Christmas as promised. We exchanged gifts while we were there so it was great to have a tree. My children were in love with the basement and the fireplaces.
Some of the mattresses were like sleeping in bowls and the kitchen lighting needs help. We cooked alot while we there (cabbage and black eyed peas are a must have on New Year's) and there needs to be an over-the-sink light installed really bad but if your not there to cook then it wont affect your visit. Bring food storage containers with you for leftovers if you plan on cooking as well. Also I know that the view from this cabin is a big selling feature but more curtains or blinds on the main level would help tremendously with the sun especially in the mornings. We were blinded by the reflections off the walls, floors, and other windows until after noon.
We hope to be back in the future and would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking to visit Gatlinburg. It was the perfect size, layout, and location. Just 5 minutes to downtown (& the Pancake Pantry)!
