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!
We loved Swinging on a Star! Very cozy, clean, amazing views and super close to downtown Gatlinburg! The host was attentive and communicative, making us feel confident that if there were any issues we would have been taken care of promptly. When my family and I return to Gatlinburg, this is where we will stay!
Great cabin. Clean. Great views. Close to downtown Gatlinburg but far enough away to get away from everything. Great and easy communication with host. 10/10.
Wonderful property!! The location was perfect and the view unbelievable! This property has everything you could need during your stay...beautiful and very, very clean inside and out. Owner is great with communication. Hopefully we can stay again in the future.
Swinging on a Star is a remarkable cabin. From the amazing mountain view to the exquisite interior touches, we were very pleased. Cathie is a great host and very thoughtful. She makes her guests feel like family. We stayed here for our honeymoon and definitely recommend to anyone coming to town whether a special occasion or just a relaxing vacation!
What an amazing property with all the comforts of home. Beautiful views of the Smokey mountains. We had an amazing experience staying here with all the amenities that any family could want. The cabin is beautifully appointed and very charming. The property is well loved.
This is the home for you if you want comfortable beds, incredible views and a very convenient quite location. My wife and I really enjoyed our time here and will be back!
Had everything you could possibly want - great views, clean, games, entertainment room, etc. The host was amazing. Highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing retreat.
