Hotel Starr Buck

The cabin location with the views were spectacular with three levels of decking on the cabin. The location of the cabin was perfect for the activities we had planned. Everything was close by. The cabin can accompany 24 people. We were 13 and it felt a little crowded on occasion. Parking was ample which accommodated 5 cars, any more would not have fit. There were some housekeeping items that could have been corrected prior to our arrival. The hot tub was dirty. No one wanted to access it. The king bedroom on the 2nd level had a clogged sink causing the occupant to have to use another bathroom when using the sink. The shower had mold around the door. The king bedroom on the main level was very warm as was the main floor. The AC was not working correctly in order to cool the level. I really am surprised that we had to pay $500 for a cleaning fee, when the items listed above were not cleaned before occupancy. Don't get me wrong, the house was cleaned but could have used a little more elbow grease when cleaning the showers and hot tub. In addition, how did the sink get cleaned in the 2nd level king room when the water was unable to go down the drain? In addition, a security deposit of $650 that is not refundable? How is that....maybe you should rename that since it's not a deposit. That should be refunded, since we left the cabin in great shape when we departed on September 27, 2025. All in all, we all had a great time. The location of the cabin made it all worthwhile.

We loved the house! It was very clean! There were 12 of us 6 were kids from 14 to 9. We spent most of our time on the decks admiring the views! Close enough to all the activities in the surrounding areas. We had a great stay!

Amazing time, great responsive host and a view and location that cannot be beat. Highly recommend!

From a 1 year old to an almost 80 year old, it accommodated everyone perfectly. The view was spectacular! The location could not have been better. We will definitely stay here again.

We loved Starr Buck Lodge. It slept all 16 of us wonderfully. The kitchen had plenty of cookware and dishes. Lots of bathrooms made it easy to have so many people. It was very confortable, plenty of seating and big tables for puzzles. We can't say enough about the view. The decks look straight into Mt. LeConte. We watched the mountains all day, in sun and rain. The location is quiet and private, and the house is nicely removed from the busyness of Pigeon Forge, but just a 5 minute drive away. We loved our stay there!
