Great Cabin
Cabin is in a quiet neighborhood about 20 minutes from downtown Asheville. We had no trouble getting Uber/Lyft to and from downtown. House is very nice and more than large enough for our group of 4. Communication with hosts was very good and check-in procedures were very simple. Overall a great stay!

5 - star Girls Weekend
We loved every minute of being in the MorningStar cabin. Everything was as pictured in the listing. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of space for the 6 of us. Easy access to downtown Asheville and the Biltmore. The views were great and the outside space was very lovely and nice to sit bundled up with our coffees. The heating stove kept us toasty and we had great slow mornings relaxing in the couches. Happily stay again with family or friends.

Amazing autumn stay
We loved the cabin! It was perfect for our larger group (that included a toddler and an infant). The place had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. When the kids went to bed we all loved hanging by the outdoor fire pit and using the hot tub. The location was perfect, only 15 min to Asheville downtown and breweries.

Great weekend in Ashville
We had a wonderful time staying at Morning Star. The house was beautiful and perfectly clean. This house seems like you are far away from everything with the perfect quiet setting, but you are only 15 minutes from downtown and great restaurants. The hosts are great! I highly recommend this property!

wonderful spot for a week's vacation
We stayed here for a family get-together for a week. We had a wonderful time - the house was clean, beds comfortable, furniture comfortable, and a great deck for morning coffee and an afternoon glass of wine. It's in a residential neighborhood, so there were some of the sounds of daily living, but very quiet at night. We were there during the Harvest Moon, so had 2 nights of moon rising! Ingles was nearby for grocery shopping, so we didn't need to bring much from home. We were close to breweries, a winery, and restaurants. We also had a dog with us, and were glad to have a fenced-in yard area for her to get some exercise. Owners were very responsive to my questions. Highly recommend!

Great Hideaway
Very comfortable, quiet property. Enjoyed mornings reading on the deck and evenings soaking in the hot tub after a day of hiking. The owners left us dog treats and a bottle of Biltmore wine which was a nice welcome, Asheville is a quick 20 minutes away.

stayed June 2023
Description and pictures are very accurate. We really enjoyed our stay in June of 2023. Owners were close by but we did not need to call them since we had everything we needed and expected. Pool table and fenced in yard were a big plus. Drove into Marshall, Hot Springs and Asheville during the week.

Perfect Mountain Getaway
This house was conveniently located to downtown Asheville, Biltmore Estate and Asheville Outdoor Adventure where our family did the zipline canopy tour! Lots of eating, walking/hiking, shopping. Relax at night with the hot tub, outdoor fireplace and streaming channels on all televisions. Great space for our family of 8 and our Australian Shepherd, who enjoyed the fenced in yard and laying on the porch/balcony. Birgit was a great host!

Quiet, secluded, and spacious log home
The home was perfect for our family (parents in their 60s with 3 grown children and two significant others), and two dogs among us. Having three levels of living space allowed us to space out whether we were sleeping, working from afar, or hanging out together. The fenced in yard was perfect for dog play and supervision, while the quiet neighborhood lanes were nice for taking walks with the dogs. The cabin was nicely decorated, with well-chosen accents and comfortable, attractive furniture pieces. We were thrilled with the place! It was also convenient to the downtown area (about 15-20 minutes) and a decent grocery store. We heartily recommend this home!

Great mountain home!
Stayed at Morning Star for a weekend reunion with friends! It was a great mountain feel but still close to downtown area with lots of restaurant options nearby! Owner was quick with communications when we couldn’t figure out the hot tub and had it working for us in no time! Would recommend!
