Cathie is an amazing host! She checked on us during both our arrival & departure, and responded promptly to any questions we had during our weeklong stay. We stayed for Christmas & the cabin was beautifully decorated for our daughter’s first mountain Christmas! Cooking Christmas dinner was a breeze with everything Cathie had readily available to cook with. Normally, when we vacation in the mountains, we go nonstop & take MAYBE a day to enjoy the cabin. This time, we knew after seeing everything the cabin had to offer that we just had to take more than a day to enjoy it. And we did not regret it one bit. Our 2-year-old loved the wall games & rocking horse, as well as the toddler sized rocking chair downstairs. Us adults enjoyed checkers, UNO, pool, & dart matches; which led us to many late night competitions but not late enough to miss any early morning sunrises. The hot tub was my favorite spot to watch sunrises and sunsets, with the porch swing being a very close second! You would think with a view like this cabin has to offer that the drive up the mountain would be difficult, but we were pleased with the ease of navigating to the cabin and even more pleased with the parking arrangements for 2 SUVs with the horseshoe driveway. I’ve been coming to the mountains, Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge, with my family for 15 years & this cabin is by far the only cabin that has checked every box of each interest for each person in my family. This is THE place to stay, and we will be back!

The cabin was everything that was promised and more. The cabin is plenty big enough for 6 people, but this trip was only my husband and me. The view from both the lower deck and upper deck were unobstructed and beautiful, weather didn’t matter . Cathie was amazing and a wonderful hostess! We will book here again.

Everything about this cabin is amazing! As soon as you walk in, it’s cozy and you feel at home. The views were breathtaking. We enjoyed staying in and playing pool or games more than going out. It was the perfect space for our family and frenchie. Everything was super clean and organized. The best part was Ms.Cathie our host. She made sure we were taken care of and was the sweetest person we’ve ever rented from. Would stay here every day if we could!

My family truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin!! Cathie thought of everything to make staying here so much like home. The kitchen was well equipped, making cooking a meal easy & enjoyable. My grandkids enjoyed the media room which became their favorite hang out spot. The hot tub was nice for late night soaks after a long day of exploring the Smokies. The beds were very comfortable leading to a restful night’s sleep. Amazing views from the back deck where we enjoyed our coffee and the occasional black bear. Thank you Cathie for being a great host. Your communication style was so informative and welcoming! We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Smoky Mountains.

An unforgettable stay at “Swinging on a Star”!This cabin has breathtaking views that seem to change from sunrise to sunset. Even the misty mornings were beautiful. You could not ask for a better location to enjoy the Smoky Mountain’s. The cabin is nestled among trees so you never see the neighbors. You feel like you’re by yourself with nature. The accommodations were nothing short of outstanding! From the high-quality furnishings, the rustic charm and modern comforts, making it feel both luxurious and cozy at the same time. The kitchen is fully stocked with high-end cookware, china and utensils. We enjoyed the hot tub, watching the views of the smoky Mountains and listening to the birds chirp while relaxing on the deck mornings and evenings. We even had a friendly neighborhood black bear wander through the backyard. Don’t worry, he paid no attention to us! Cathie made our stay at “Swinging on a Star” an unforgettable stay! If you want the best while staying in the Smoky Mountains, this is the place to stay! Cathie is so friendly you feel like you’ve know each other for years! She is willing to help out with recommendations or anything you need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable! We will be back again and highly recommend “Swinging on a Star”! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely perfect. Walking up on the porch right from the beginning was spectacular. Has to be the best view in Gatlinburg. Very secluded. From the main floor deck all you see is mountains (one cabin on the side nearly completely hidden by trees), at night you could only count 5 lights. Like the entire world is there just for you. Close to town, yet far enough not to hear anything besides nature. We had a black bear walk right through the yard, 15 feet from where we were drinking coffee on the back deck. The private hot tub is situated perfectly next to the house w a roof covering. Perfect view of the mountains from the tub. The interior of the house is perfect. The furnishings were perfect and could not ask for anything different. This was ABSOLUTELY the best cabin we could have ever asked for. 10 out of 10 perfect

Perfect cabin

Cabin is CLEAN! And well decorated. Nicely stocked kitchen with clean pans/utensils. All appliances clean and in good working order. Beds were big and comfy with plenty of pillows. Hot tub was perfect and spot less. Bathrooms are large sized and well maintained. Nice little nature area just off deck. Minutes from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Views are incredible. Despite a couple rainy evenings there was no shortage of activities either near or with the cabin. Plenty of wildlife to enjoy just in the back yard. Cabin offsets neighboring cabins and provides privacy. Plenty of space and easy area for pets to have a place to potty. Property manager checked in on our evening of arrival and throughout the week to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Summer stay, AC kept cabin perfectly cool. Would love to come back and try out the fire place . Views are Gorgeous and just as shown in photos

Don’t let this one get away

If you want a stunning view of the mountains, this is the place for you. The cabin is even better than the photos. It has everything you need. We enjoyed sitting on the deck each morning with our coffee and the beautiful view. The location is convenient to everything. A week wasn’t long enough for us. We will definitely be back!

Dream Cabin!

Swingin’ on a Star was awesome! What a clean and well appointed cabin to come home to after a long day in the mountains. The view was the most beautiful we have seen at a rental. The cabin is decorated beautifully, and you can tell the host takes great pride in her property. We would love to return!

The perfect retreat

I give this place a 5 star review only because that's the highest l can give. The place was fantastic for all ages. I had a 17 year old, and my 2 elderly parents with me, and they all enjoyed their stay equally. I had an issue before arriving to the place, and eas worried i wouldn't be able to make this trip, so i reached out to the owner, and not only did she respond quickly, but she went the next step by reaching out to me directly to come up with possible rrsolutions. Truly a wonderful host! I am thankful everything worked out, and we were able to make it out to this location. It was a time of healing, rest, and enjoying time with my family! Not to mention the beautiful view! Words can't describe how beautiful this retreat was for us.
