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.

Once you reach the cabin, you’ll be rewarded with the best scenic views.

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.
