About this property

Owner Managed | Star Dancer | Mind Blowing Views! | Hot Tub | Theater | Wildlife

By renting one of our cabins, you will experience a superior level of quality and service that the large property management companies in the area cannot offer. The reason you ask? We are the actual owners of our cabins, and we personally manage every detail ourselves. My name is Chris. My wife Sarah and I are the owners.

The majority of rental cabins in the area are managed by large property managers who have a whole lot to keep up with. Unfortunately, this can lead to a property to fall behind in its care and cleaning. This leads to a poor traveler experience and a lack of personal service. We try to be different. We only own 6 cabins, and that allows us to give more time and attention to our properties. The exceptional quality of our properties and the personal level of service you will receive will leave no doubt in your mind that you made the best choice for your Smoky Mountains vacation.

Our cabins are competitively priced for what they offer with their location and amenities. All of our properties provide our guests a sense of privacy, and are not in areas where you will feel intruded on by a neighboring cabin. We may not be the lowest priced cabin you will find, but that is by design. We want to be one of the best, not the absolute cheapest. We want you make long lasting memories that you will cherish for many years into the future. We are always a phone call or text away if you need us at any point after you make your reservation, and during your stay. The last thing you want is to have to chase someone down if you have a question or a problem.

This is our beautiful and luxurious Star Dancer Cabin! You will be nestled up against the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at our cabin. Our property borders the national park. The mountains you see out the back door are all National Park land!

Star Dancer is next door to another cabin we own named Cloud Dancer. If you have a large group consider renting both Cloud Dancer and Star Dancer to sleep up to 28 people. Each cabin is 4,400 square feet in size, secluded, and separated by a wooded lot. They are only a couple minute walk apart. If you are planning a family reunion, wedding, or other get together with a lot of people we are happy to rent both of them as long as there is the availability for dates at both properties.

Cleaning: We understand cleaning is now more important than ever. Our cleaners are using an enhanced cleaning routine to ensure the property has been thoroughly disinfected prior to your arrival. Our cleaners are using an anti-viral/antibacterial cleaner on all frequently touched surfaces such as counter-tops, door handles, light switches, and other frequently touched surfaces. Our hot tub is drained, scrubbed, refilled with fresh water, and chemicals added between each guest. We hope these extra measures make you feel comfortable during your stay at our cabin.

SOME OF THE BEST MOUNTAIN VIEWS YOU CAN FIND!

Star Dancer is located in one of the greatest mountain view locations in Gatlinburg.

The view is SPECTACULAR! The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is out your backdoor! Our rear decks offer an AMAZING view of the untouched mountains of the national park. Huge mountain peaks of 4,000 to 6,500 feet greet you as you look out the windows or stand on the rear deck. You will not find views like this at many other properties.

You will have access to 2 swimming pools on the grounds while you stay at our cabin. There are actually 3 pools, but one is closed for maintenance. These are private pools for tenant use and you and your guests are free to swim during your vacation. Pools are usually only open from Memorial Day through Labor Day under normal circumstances. The swimming pools are an easy very short drive from our cabin.

Star Dancer’s Gatlinburg location offers a wealth of privacy and calm, and is an easy driving distance to all the attractions and the national park. In Summer you’ll also have access to three nearby swimming pools. Bent Creek Golf Course, which was designed by Masters and British Open winner Gary Player, is also located just 5 minutes away.

Our cabin is great for the entire family. We have a full-size arcade multi-cade with many 80's style vintage arcade games on it. We also have a second arcade game system with over 6,000 games on it. This additional arcade system is custom made and has nearly every single Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Atari, Sega Genesis, and many other retro games loaded on it. We also have a pool table, and an air hockey table for your enjoyment.

We keep the cabin pristine and clean at all times. The property is well maintained and tastefully decorated. We stay up to date on maintenance and we keep our cabin in tiptop shape. This is a beautiful mountain cabin and you will feel at home if you choose to stay. You may find some cheaper prices for other properties, but you get what you pay for. Look over our pictures and you will get what you see.

The open-plan living/dining/kitchen area defines the main level. The three perfectly cushioned leather sofas are ideal for watching a program on the 60” flat-screen TV, taking advantage of the free WIFI, or catching up with friends and family—assuming you can draw your gaze away from the view of the mountains just outside the twenty-three-foot-high wall of windows. The room itself is a stunner—lustrous hickory wood floors, pine wood walls, and vaulted ceiling; dramatic chandeliers; furnishings that define rustic refinement—and the warm glow of the gas fireplace in the winter makes it even more inviting.

There’s room for six at the log dining table, and another six can make themselves comfortable at the adjacent breakfast bar that surrounds the kitchen. Outfitted with a full array of appliances, cookware, and tableware, plus ample granite counters and plenty of elbow room—the kitchen will please experienced cooks as much as it will those who plan to do little more than brew coffee and reheat leftovers from the previous evening’s restaurant meal.

You can also cook and dine outdoors. As well as a charcoal grill, Star Dancer has a picnic table that can seat up to ten people. There’s nothing like eating outside, surrounded by mountains and the sunshine as warblers and sparrows serenade you!

The three large bedrooms are spread out among the house, one on each floor, for maximum privacy. Each definitely qualifies as a master suite, with a king-size bed, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and direct access to a deck or a balcony—perfect for enjoying a romantic nightcap under the stars. We also have a queen size sleeper sofa located on the main level and downstairs in the game room.

For the remainder of your group, we have 2 sleeper sofas and 4 comfortable twin size portable floor beds. The portable beds are very comfortable beds with memory foam mattresses for comfort. These simple-to-use portable floor beds can be moved to any room and laid out in the floor for ultimate convenience. When finished, these simply fold away and can be stored in a closet.

Up to 14 people can comfortably sleep in Star Dancer. There are a total of 4 1/2 baths as well, so no one will be caught waiting too long for a bathroom to come open.

There is one small step up (6 inches) to gain entry onto the main level. If you can manage this you will have access to the entire main level without having to use a staircase.

Special note on requests to bring your pet: Dogs only please. We request that if you wish to bring a dog that the dog be crated at any times when it is not supervised by a human being inside the lodge. A non-refundable pet fee of $250 plus tax will apply to the booking, and covers up to 2 dogs. There is a limit of 2 dogs allowed without prior approval. If we do approve your request for more than two dogs, and additional pet fee of $250 is added to the reservation.

Clean,Views, Amenities!
Exceeded my expectations and I, by the time the trip came around, with all the communication with Chris & Sarah, already had high hopes for this rental. This was my first cabin/home rental. I grew up going camping in a pop-up camper or renting a cabin in a campground, as I got older we stayed in hotels. Chris & Sarah were extremely informative. You can tell they took the time to think and answer any possible question or issue you could have. We arrived late, and the view outside the cabin was breathtaking in the dark night sky! Walking into the home, CLEAN, honestly spotless! I always come armed to clean before the family gets comfortable. I never realized the stress I put on myself when I feel the need to clean everything right away. I felt a sense of relief, and literally relaxed for the entire stay. Even when we saw a big bear walk across the back yard!! Y’all WE SAW A BEAR! The views, the amenities, the decor, watching the zip-liners, the sunsets, the SUNRISES, the stars,the just EVERYTHING. It’s evident Chris and Sarah put themselves in the viewpoint of the renter and possibly thought of everything. We went with a big family group and honestly they were singing my praises, the whole time, and not gonna lie, was pretty great! This fantastic cabin, in this fantastic location, did I mention we saw a bear, live, like right there! I’m pretty sure I will be renting from this family from now on. The bar is set too high now! Thank you Chris & Sarah.

Fantastic Cabin
We come to the Gatlinburg area every year for a two week stay. In the past we used the bigger property management companies to rent our cabin, which is typically a very large high end cabin. Our experiences with these companies have been horrible. Lack of cleanliness, maintenance, and overall communication when things go wrong. So this year we decided to go with an owner managed cabin and found star dancer. From the very beginning, the owner Chris communicated promptly, answered all our questions and provided us with every piece of information we needed to prepare for our stay. The price was reasonable and booking was a breeze. Upon arrival, the cabin was very clean and well maintained. There were a few very minor issues that needed to be addressed. I contacted Chris and he had people out the same day. We had a great time and the cabin was very well equipped with everything we needed to cook, watch movies in the theater and all have enough room to spread out. During our two week stay, we had some severe weather with over 100 MPH winds. Chris sent his local property manager out just to check on us and address any issues we may have had. These are the services you get from an owner managed cabin vs one of the large companies that could care less. Overall, our stay was fantastic and we highly recommend this cabin and more importantly, this owner. Chris understands the importance of guest experience. We will be staying with Chris next year too!

Hi, I am Chris. My wife Sarah and I had been wanting a cabin retreat in the Smokies for many years. After many years of renting various properties we finally decided to buy one of our own. Then, after much success we began purchasing more cabins in Gatlinburg. We now own 6 upscale luxury properties in Gatlinburg. Guest satisfaction and good upkeep of our properties is at the top of our list.

As our guest you will be provided our direct contact details and our cell phone numbers. We are very attentive you your needs and questions if you have them.

We look forward to having you stay at one of our properties.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property due to it being located in a quiet location with a private driveway. Our outdoor area is spectacular. Plenty of parking is available, and the views are AMAZING. You will also have access to multiple swimming pools in the resort and a golf course only 1 mile away.
