Stunning Chalet - Perfect Location For Family Reunions & Retreats, w/ Hot Tub

The house was perfect. Every bed had a bath while the dining living and kitchen were all open to allow the time for the family to socialize. It rained on us 4 out of the 7 days we were there and no one complained because we had plenty to do between the hot tub. Pool table and games that were there not to mention the TVs that allowed us to show the babies cartoons. You do need 4 wheel drive or an experienced driver to get up the one hill but we had 6 full size trucks that could park around the house while allowing anyone to leave as they chose to. We were visited by several bears that was the highlight of the stay. None of them were mean but don’t leave any food trash outside unless you put it in the bear proof receptacles. They will investigate it all. I loved the time we spent there and everyone in my family wanted to stay longer we actually met the cleaning person because we just wanted to stay. However with a sad heart and the reality of work life we left but we left with real good times real good accommodations and with a whole lot of pictures. Thank you Greg so much for this stay. Like I said perfect

Our family came from several different states for a long weekend and this chalet was perfect for us! Each couple had a room with private bath to retreat to, and the kids enjoyed camping out on the sofa bed. The long table was great for playing cards and eating together or just hanging out. My parents enjoyed the porches and scenery while the rest of us sampled all that the area has to offer. The hot tub was wonderful for relaxing in the evenings! Greg was very responsive from booking through checkout and we will absolutely want to stay here again. Book this property - you won't regret it!

We take a family vacation every other year with our four daughters and their families. Our grandchildren are aged 3 through 12. The house was one of the best we have rented. The kitchen had a huge refrigerator and a very large pantry that easily accommodated food for our five families. There was plenty of counter space and the island allowed us to set out and serve our meals efficiently. There were plenty of cooking utensils and pots and pans. We used both the gas grill for meat and the smaller charcoal grill with the firewood provided to make S'mores. We had plenty of space for sleeping and it is always a big plus when each bedroom has its own bathroom. We did not need to contact the owner for any problems and received our deposit refunded in a very timely manner. The hot tub was enjoyed each evening and made for a fun, relaxing week. Gatlinburg had much to offer and we took advantage of hiking, white water rafting, put-put golf, shopping, and one of our daughters and her family spent a day at Dollywood. There are many opportunities for fun activities very close to the house. We soon got used to the very steep, winding roads leading up to the house and enjoyed the beautiful views it afforded us on the ride. One very surprising word of caution. We were visited from the very first night by black bears coming all the way up to the house - even coming on the deck both in front and back. While very scary at first, we quickly realized they were not threatening and just looking for food. They appeared (one at a time) early in the morning and late in the day. We were hoping to maybe get a glimpse of some when we booked the house, but did not realize how often and close they would come. We had one of our best vacations in Gatlinburg and would very definitely recommend this beautiful house.

This is an amazing property! You can see the sunrise over the mountain and see the sunset through the trees out the back. Wonderful areas to sit on the massive decks, the hot tub was perfect, and there is plenty of parking for five cars. The kitchen is well equipped with almost anything you could want (you may have to hunt for it -- multiple guests put things away in strange places!), and the table is perfect for up to 12 people so you can all eat together.

We even had visits by local 'teenage' bears several times during our visits (we stayed well away and they were not intimidating). There are several pool options (all driveable), and each bedroom has its own bathroom -- a major plus. It is easy to get to either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, but like other reviewers stated the last mile or so of roads and the driveway are interesting to say the least. Lots of hills, curves, and little to no shoulder -- but it was only scary the first time!

I HIGHLY recommend this home. And Greg is an amazing host. We got ourselves locked out at one point and he returned my call within five minutes and we were on our way. He was very responsive to my multiple questions in advance, always responding quickly -- usually within one hour.

Note -- if you have small children, please bring a gate or other barrier to the stairs. I learned this from another reviewer and it made our trip much less stressful.

Adequate space & we made good use of the fireplace & hot tub. The upgraded appliances & Tv's exceeded expectations since they have all been upgraded since VRBO photos (ones in photos were quite dated).
