About this property
Running Bears Den- Chalet Village’s Perfect Retreat in the Mountains
It has everything that you would need for a relaxing and memorable vacation. Grab a beverage and relax on one of the double decks while listening to the babbling creek running through the front yard. The upper deck offers a secluded hot tub to soak in to ease tensions and to reach a whole new level of relaxation.
Hang your coat or take off your shoes in the large mudroom. The open concept allows for lots of natural light and is ideal for large family gatherings. The main floor includes a bedroom with a king size bed and a massaging chair for your tired or aching muscles. The oversized main floor bathroom features 2 large vanities with a jacuzzi tub and separate stand up shower. The kitchen is fully equipped and provides all the amenities needed for a home-cooked meal or take out. Cozy up to the unique creek-stone fireplace in the winter while your family watches tv or plays games on the nearby dining room table that seats ten. The sofa in the family room conveniently pulls out to a queen size sleeper.
Overlooking the main living area, is a loft that features a large flat-screened tv with blue-ray player and lots of movies, books, and games for adults as well as kids. The spacious master bedroom on this level has a king-size bed to stretch out on while sleeping. The attached master bathroom includes a large jacuzzi tub to soak all your troubles away.
The basement can be a hang out for families or an area for the guys to watch sports or compete against each other while shooting pool, playing foosball, or playing one of the thousands of games on the arcade system. A second gas fireplace is available to warm up to on chilly nights. A spacious kitchenette provides a refrigerator and microwave for munching on snacks or to keep beverages cold. No need to walk upstairs when you are tired because there is a futon in the gaming area and just around the corner is another large bedroom with a king-size bed. The large bathroom on this level has a tub/shower combo. Also available is a laundry room with a full-sized washing machine, dryer, iron and board. A pack and play is available in this area if needed as well for the little ones.
If this isn’t enough, there are 3 community pools (free admission) and lounge chairs to relax in around the pool. Some of the facilities offer a workout room and tennis courts. (Please contact the office at 1-865-436-4440 for operating hours prior to going as operating hours may vary. )This cabin has it all. While located in the mountains, it is still close to many of the most popular attractions (only ~ 0.3 miles away from Ober Ski Resort, ~ 7 miles to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, ~3 miles to downtown Gatlinburg, and ~ 9 miles to Pigeon Forge).
Please remember that you are staying in the mountains and road conditions can be difficult to travel at times. Most public roads are well maintained but can be winding or steep. We cannot provide transportation for guests so please plan accordingly. We do not provide refunds for weather, road conditions, or the location of the cabin.
It isn’t uncommon to encounter wildlife, including bears on our premises. We encourage guests not to leave any food, drinks, or trash in their vehicle and to keep their vehicle doors locked at all times.
