About this property

Baby Bear HideAway

Private corner studio with breath taking views of the Smokies. Ideal for a romantic getaway or relaxing after a long day of hiking, tubing or shopping. Comfortable queen bed is positioned so you are sleeping under the twinkling stars. Private balcony to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks. Full size futon can sleep an additional 2 guests. Fully furnished studio has all major appliances and cooking essentials to prepare your home cooked meals. Community features 2 heated hot tubs (year round), sauna, game room, as well as a seasonal pool. Outdoor BBQs are also available throughout the property.

Short 10 minute drive from Gatlinburg along scenic mountain roads brings you right to the top of the mountain - where you have birds-eye views in all directions.

Head over to the Sugarlands Visitor Center to get hiking information and maps to explore the National Park. There are marked trails for every level of hiker.

Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort is just moments away and skiers can be seen from our balcony during the winter months. Head over for some skiing or tubing - or even indoor skating.

Pigeon Forge is just 15 minutes away and offers numerous attractions, activities and shopping for everyone.

If you have ever wanted to go Zip-Lining in the Smokies - we highly recommend making reservations at Climbworks - you will LOVE it.

There are so many things to do and not enough time in just one visit.

Keep in mind this is a mountain-top condo accessible by safe paved mountain roads where some sections may be steep.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a great time while here for Slammed Enuff 2025. The views are beautiful and the small community here within this little top of the mountain complex are incredibly nice. Highly reccommend to anyone trying to get away while also being up at the top of a mountain.

Cozy little apartment

We enjoyed our stay here! It was the perfect size, clean and quiet with nice views. It was a great home base for taking in the sights and hiking in the park. We even saw a bear while driving down the mountain one morning. Gigi was great and easy to work with and the apartment had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Baby Bear! It was clean and had a wonderful view. We saw a few bears on the way up the mountain which was really cool. At night we could see Jupiter, Saturn, and the Milky Way! My kids loved it.

Had a great time , wonderful host. Seen a bear both days driving up the mountain. And yes you are staying on the tip top of the mountain, drives beautiful up and down , but it is a mountain road so its slow going and steep and curvy but not a bad drive , takes 20 mins to get to PF and 15 or so to GB. Love it thanks again GIGI

Nice small place

Small but nice place. Would not recommend for more than 2 adults. Bed was pretty small. The location was nice to be away from the crowds. Is on the second level of three, so we heard the people above us.

We had a short stay but was a quiet and relaxing area. Had breakfast on the balcony with a nice view. The view from the bed is also nice. Bed was comfortable. Place was clean and efficient. Door dash and pizza gets delivered up that high too :) I would stay here again for sure.

Great stay

We came to Gatlinburg to explore and hike. Only slept at the condo, room is comfy and clean. Location was good for us, about 10 min drive away from the city up on the mountain. Beware of the bears, they do come up to look for food by the trash bin. We saw 4 on the parking lot.

Quaint and comfortable

Just like the pictures. Not a great view from the room but very close to pool that has a awesome view. LONG, CURVY road about 15 minutes straight up a mountain so if you get motion sickness easy, prepare. Great communication with owner, no ice maker or ice trays and check in was 4oclock sharp. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Gigi Grein

Host profile image
My husband Yvon and I are both originally from Quebec, Canada. His roots are Native Indian and his primary language is French and he speaks English with a very charming accent. I'm an Army Brat born in Fort Hood, Texas with European roots and speak fluent English, French and German. We moved to Florida to escape the harsh Canadian winters but are finding the extreme summer heat unbearable.

Why they chose this property

In early 2016 we took a self-planned vacation to High Chalet - this exact complex - and we fell in love with the area. We can't retire yet - but we plan to settle down in the Great Smoky Mountains soon - and this is our first step into paradise. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

This hideaway in the mountains is very special - surrounded by majestic mountains and fluffy clouds - wildlife all around. You can hike right from your front door or just to the nearby picnic tables and enjoy the fresh air and nature at its best.
