Neighborhood

The cabin is in the premier community of Chalet Village, Gatlinburg, Tennessee and our property is adjacent to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The views from cabin of the Great Smoky Mountains are breathtaking and we are only 2.5 miles from downtown Gatlinburg and the entrance to the Smoky Mountains National Park! Our close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park means there is lots of wildlife in our area - black bears, deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, coyotes, fox, and more! Black bears visit the cabin often in Spring, Summer and Fall. You may get lucky and catch a glimpse of one of these residents while enjoying the view from the deck. We also contract regular monthly pest services which treat for all pests from multiple types of bugs, mice, etc. Despite our regular treatments, given the proximity of the cabin to the park, it is possible these pests can temporarily enter the cabin. We immediately respond and treat if anything comes up and have found it is rare to come across anything like this. When you've had enough relaxation, look forward to endless entertainment in the surrounding area; you'll be in the perfect spot to explore through winding hiking trails and world-class ski slopes in the Great Smoky Mountains. Other local attractions can be found in downtown Gatlinburg, including delectable restaurants, intriguing shops, the always-entertaining alpine slides, and even a moonshine distillery! During your time here, make sure to visit the Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park & Ski Area, which offers terrific skiing in the colder months, a ski mountain coaster, an aerial tramway, and many other thrilling attractions! The cabin is located on a mountain road. We strongly recommend trip insurance, especially during the Winter since there are no refunds for snow and ice. In difficult winter or storm related weather situations there can be delays in cleaning and check-in pending road conditions which can be outside of our control.

We had an incredible stay at this cabin right next to Smoky Mountain National Park! The spacious living area and well-equipped kitchen made us feel right at home, and the quality utensils made cooking a joy. The beds were incredibly comfortable, with soft, clean linens that enhanced our cozy experience. The views from the back patio were stunning, especially at sunrise—absolutely breathtaking! A highlight of our stay was the wildlife. We enjoyed daily visits from bears, including a memorable evening when a mama bear and her two cubs wandered into the backyard and climbed up to a tree when some neighbors walking by and talked loudly. Watching them from the second-floor patio was unforgettable. They were so cute!!! Overall, this is a five-star cabin that we highly recommend!

The cabin is what the description says it is 100%. Had a cutey visitors ( baby blk bear) early in the morning. My family enjoyed the house amenities such as table games and spa. For easy and convenient access, just use the road from downtown Gatlinburg. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful cabin. Will surely add to our list to use again in the future visit.

Location

Sorry we're unable to show you the location for this property

Many of our guest drive to Gatlinburg Tennessee, but some also choose to fly into the Knoxville airport, McGhee Tyson Airport 44 miles away. We highly recommend that our guests have a vehicle for transportation. There's just so much to see and do in Gatlinburg and the surrounding areas!
