  • My family stayed from 5/15-5/19/09. We had a wonderful time! The chalet was super clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We had 8 adults and 3 children (and 2 corgis) and had plenty of room. The pool table and hot tub were loved by all. Val and Renee were super helpful and accomidated us well. We had 4 bear encounters!! Was our 1st (of many more) family trips!

  • We had an awesome time!! There two other families with us. We had plenty of room, the kids ran all over the place. We had a momma bear and 3 cubs that came and visited every day, sooo exciting! There was also a chubby little squirrel that loves bread that came to the deck every morning. Everything was almost perfect. 2 small complaints; 1. need more kitchen towels 2. the bears were able to get into the garbage everyday. My Father in Law was picking up garbage every morning. Other than that, it was definately an awesome chalet and we had a great time. We will definately be back next year with the kiddos, they didn't want to leave:)
    
    Homeowner Response:
    We are in town right after this guests stay. We will be sure to provide more kitchen towels. The trash receptacle was damaged and would not close properly. That is what allowed the bears to get into the trash and make a mess. We already contracted someone to repair the receptacle so it latches properly. Val & Renee

  • We had a great time up at the cabin. Bears smelled my chili and they came right up to the window on the porch. My daughter was a little scared but the bears left and we had a great story to take home! This place is a great value.

  • We had a great time at the Halfway to Heaven chalet! The view was gorgeous especially with the windows that give you a clear view of almost 360 degrees! The pool table was great when it was cold and we were nice and toasty with the fireplace! The renovations have proved to make this cabin even better! If I ever want to see snow again, this is where we're going!

  • Thanks for allowing our family to enjoy a special Christmas vacation in your beautiful home. The Christmas tree and decorations were an especially nice touch that the grandkids really enjoyed. There was ample room for everyone to have their own space....yet plenty of room in the main living area for when everyone wanted to be together. The views from the decks were breathtaking! Only wish we could have had a little snow....that would have been the icing on the cake! Hope to be able to enjoy it again next year! Happy Holidays!

  • We stayed in Halfway to Heaven for a Sunday School Retreat. There were 14 adults. We all had plenty of room and were very compfortable in our stay. The chalet was very well maintained and the furnishings were wonderful. Val was so great to deal with while making the arrangements and some small issues that came up during our stay. We saw a bear on Saturday morning right up close to our deck. We will definetly plan on staying in the chalet in the future.

  • This chalet was very comfortable for the 5 siblings meeting from various parts of the U.S. for our annual reunion. There is a nice variety of things to do at Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountain National Park. We saw a Momma Bear and her 3 cubs near our chalet. They were cute until they tipped over our trash bins. The kitchen was very well supplied to fill our needs in preparing meals. The home was very nicely furnished and quite comfortable with a beautiful view. Val was very helpful when needed.
