Why settle for less? Stay in a chalet with spectacular panoramic views of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park visible from the beautifully decorated great room and both King master suites. All 3 rooms have floor to ceiling windows to one of the most awe-inspiring views you can imagine. Plus, we've brought the outside in by decorating Cloudy Dreams with the artwork of local wildlife and nature photographers. You'll truly feel like you're immersed in the Smokies whether you're cuddled up enjoying the warmth from the gas fireplace in the great room or if you're outside taking in the view of the park from the private decks.
Ready to have some fun? Downstairs you'll find activities galore for old and young alike. There's an Olehausen pool table, a 60" TV that's great for watching sporting events, and an unbelievable collection of movies, books & board games. Let's not forget the soothing hot tub located just steps away from all the fun. And, if location is important to you, the Gatlinburg "strip" is just 2.6 miles away and Ober Gatlinburg ski area is just 1.5 miles away.
And, most importantly, when you rent Cloudy Dreams, you rent directly from the owners.

Welcome to our chalet in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This privately owned chalet is aptly named "Cloudy Dreams" as it is situated high above Gatlinburg at 2380 feet yet it is only 5 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg. It has spectacular views of Mt. LeConte and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Our home is located just one street away from the park boundary gracing you with a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Spending your days in Gatlinburg is a snap when you stay in our chalet since it is only 2.6 miles from traffic light #10 and all the action on the "strip". Like to ski or snowboard? If so, our place is perfect, as it’s only 1.6 miles to Ober Gatlinburg and the ski slopes. Pigeon Forge is also easily accessible taking just 15 minutes using back roads to avoid traffic.
The best part is returning to the chalet at night. Weary from all the activities, but able to unwind in your own private lodge overlooking the mountains. When you rent our chalet, you will delight in the peace, solitude, and beauty that is the Smokies.
Our 2 King suite/3 full bath chalet sleeps 6 and with 1834 square feet to spread out in, the chalet is quite spacious. And don't forget to unwind on one of its two covered decks. The main level, and largest, one is unique in that it is angled making it appear to surround the view.
On the main floor, two couples will be very comfortable each in their own luxurious King suite with attached bathroom. They have a 27" TV and a large walk-in closet. Both bedrooms have a full wall of windows with a door to the deck allowing you to wake up and fall asleep with a view of the mountains.
Also on the main level is the laundry room, fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and a great room with a gas fireplace made of stone. The great room has 2 extra large plush recliners and a sofa with 2 recliners to kick back in and watch the 32" TV that also graces this room. Like the bedrooms, the great room also has a full wall of windows with a door leading out to the covered deck and spectacular scenery.
Downstairs on the lower floor you will find a large game room complete with an Olehausen pool table and 60” TV to watch those football or basketball games on. Up for a game of cards? There’s a game table perfect for playing board games or a round of poker. We've supplied board games, books, and DVDs for your entertainment. We've provided things to do for our guests of all ages! On this level you’ll also find a queen-size sofa bed, a comfortable chair for relaxing in, and a bathroom complete with a shower.
Step out of the game room onto the lower deck. Here’s where you’ll find the hot tub to relax in. Yes, it’s private, but you’ll still be able to take in a view of the mountains.
When you stay with us you’ll have full access to three owner’s clubs. The closest one, which is 1.6 miles away, has a large outdoor swimming pool with two diving boards, a kiddie pool, two tennis courts, shuffle board, pool tables, ping pong tables, game tables, video game, and a playground. The clubs are open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Memorial Day through Labor Day. The tennis courts are open year round.
Come stay in our mountain home. Nowhere on Earth is quite as beautiful as the Smokies!

Why the Owner Chose Gatlinburg
Prior to buying this chalet, we always rented a chalet that overlooked Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We just love all that is offered in Gatlinburg. We love the quaintness of shops in The Village, all the fine restaurants on the Parkway, and the Arts and Crafts Community out East 321. And, of course, nothing can compare to being so close to the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and all that it offers. So, for us, there really wasn't a big decision to make. We wanted to be in Gatlinburg very close to the Park and with a close-up view of Mt. LeConte. Someone must have been listening because we couldn't have found any place more perfect.
Owner's Map of Gatlinburg
We are the Wheelers, and we are so honored that you're interested in spending your vacation at Cloudy Dreams. LD (yes, that's his real given name) and I (Cindy) have four children two of which are still at home and the other two of which have blessed us with 4 grandchildren. LD has worked with computers since the early 60s. He currently travels the world working as an IT Consultant. I am a nurse and work with sick babies in the NICU.
LD was born and raised in Nashville, TN and has lived all over the world. Cindy was born in Wilmington, DE and also lived in several places around the world while growing up. We began vacationing in Gatlinburg about 12 years ago and immediately fell in love with the area. We love the mountains and especially love the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. With each visit we talked more and more about owning a home here, but never really felt it would come true. After years of discussion, we finally came to the conclusion that life is way too short to wait around dreaming and decided to start looking for our mountain home. Many trips later we found a perfect chalet overlooking the park. We visit the chalet about 6 or 8 times a year. We just can't seem to stay away. We truly love this place and hope that you will, too.
We'd love to have you stay at our life's dream - "Cloudy Dreams".

So glad the four of you had a good time and hope that you were able to get the shopping that you'd plan to do done. We really enjoy the view from the decks, too. Sitting out there and soaking it in is our favorite thing to do. You need to come back when the weather is a little warmer so you can really spend some time out there. Thanks for the lovely review. We hope to see you all again. The Wheelers

Homeowner Response:
I'm glad you and your husband enjoyed your stay at the chalet. I know that my week-long stays there go way too fast, so I'm sure that your two nights went by in the blink of an eye. One of the best things about our trips to the Smokies since we bought the chalet is that we've learned how to just sit back and enjoy the view more than we used to. It's nice to occasionally go away and do nothing but that. We'd love to have you come back for a longer stay and just relax and unwind at Cloudy Dreams. Cindy and LD Wheeler

Homeowner Response:
It's nice to hear that your family had a good time at Cloudy Dreams. There is a lot of room in the chalet making it nice for families. I remember the days of having small children and all of the extra stuff you had to pack because of it. It's so nice now that the kids are older and they can pack for themselves. LOL. Thanks for the pictures for the guest photo album. Your children are absolutely adorable! Cindy & LD Wheeler

Homeowner Response:
Charisse and Craig - I'm so glad that you and the Williams were able to enjoy your first vacation without the kids. Family vacations are truly wonderful, but a little time alone as couples is equally treasured. It thrills me to know that our guests enjoy the same things that we do. Things like meditating on the front deck while enjoying the sunrise. It's hard to top that. We'd love to have you back - maybe with the kids next time! Cindy and LD Wheeler

Homeowner Response:
Sherry - Glad you all got to see a bear while you were at the chalet. We just got back from the chalet ourselves and were fortunate to see a bear by the chalet three different times. Once on the road in front of the chalet and twice down beneath the decks. One morning he was down there having his breakfast. It's always so neat to see. We also saw one in Cade's Cove after our hike to Abrams Falls. You're the second or third guest to tell me how great the Miracle show is in Pigeon Forge. I need to get over there and see it sometime. We'd love to have you back when you come to Gatlinburg. Thanks for the wonderful review! Cindy and LD Wheeler

Lisa, I'm glad you and your husband enjoyed your quick getaway to the mountains. I hope that your hubby enjoyed his fly fishing class. LD and I sure did when we did it for our anniversary year before last...which reminds me...we need to do that again! We'd love to have you back at Cloudy Dreams. Just let us know when.

Thanks for your nice comments about your stay at the chalet both in this public forum and also in your private note. I'm so glad that your first experience renting a vacation home was such a good one. We are thrilled to be able to provide a place for you and your extended family to meet up and enjoy each others company. We would love to have you all back any time! Thanks again.

Homeowner Response:
I'm so glad that you (and several other guests) have skied the slopes of Ober Gatlinburg this year. It's so close to the chalet. It's nice to see people use it. We've never been skiing there, but we've gone up several times to ice skate which is also a lot of fun. I'm glad the kids enjoyed the game room and that the adults were able to enjoy a much needed vacation! Cindy and LD Wheeler

Netra Lee , Mt Juliet TN
Homeowner Response:
Netra, We really do strive to keep the chalet in top condition for our guests. While we get down to the chalet to work around the house anywhere from 6 - 10 times a year, the real credit goes to the couple that cleans our house. They do a fantastic job and we're very grateful to have them! I know that when we used to look for a place to stay, we always looked for King suites. We would visit Gatlinburg once a year with my parents and it could be difficult to find two Kings in a two bedroom, so that was one of the things I looked for when we went to buy a place. I'm glad you were able to have a relaxing getaway with your best friends. We hope to have you all stay with us again sometime! Cindy and LD Wheeler
