Starr Crest Resort

Perched high in the Smoky Mountains, Starr Crest Resort in Sevierville offers cabin rentals with sweeping mountain vistas that showcase East Tennessee's natural beauty. The resort's location strikes an ideal balance - you're just 15 minutes from Pigeon Forge's attractions, but far enough away to enjoy genuine mountain serenity.

The resort features a mix of 1-5 bedroom cabins, each with a private deck and basic kitchen amenities. Many units include hot tubs, game rooms with pool tables, and floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize those mountain views. While some cabins have been beautifully updated with modern furnishings and appliances, others show their age and need attention. It's essential to read recent reviews for your specific cabin before booking, as maintenance quality varies significantly between properties.

When you land a well-maintained unit, Starr Crest delivers exactly what most people want from a Smoky Mountain getaway - peaceful mornings with coffee on the deck, evenings spent grilling or soaking in the hot tub, and easy access to area attractions. The winding mountain roads are well-maintained and mostly accessible year-round, though winter driving can be challenging.

Prices fluctuate seasonally, typically ranging from $150-500 per night depending on cabin size and amenities. Peak rates hit during October fall colors and summer holidays. Book well in advance for these periods, as repeat guests often reserve their favorite cabins a year ahead. While the resort office provides basic support, these are individually owned properties, so your experience largely depends on your specific cabin's owner and management.
