Bearfoot Escape is a gorgeous 3 bedroom chalet designed for relaxation, taking in views, and fun! Located in the desirable Chalet Village community, 3 miles from Downtown Gatlinburg, and 9 miles from Pigeon Forge, Bearfoot Escape is ideally located for whatever adventure you wish to undertake. If you're looking for the ideal Smoky Mountain getaway experience, Bearfoot Escape is just the place you want: modern construction with updated furnishings and amenities. This chalet comes with a spacious open concept floor plan that is perfect for family fun!

A visit to Gatlinburg is all about the mountain experience. Unlike other cabins, our view of the mountain range and valley is unobstructed during all seasons. While the view is magnificent during the day, at night it becomes positively magical as cabin lights twinkle throughout the valley. We've designed our outdoor deck area to provide the amenities that will quickly melt away any stress you've brought with you. Start off the morning enjoying your coffee on the porch marveling at the most stunning sunrise. Our outside dining makes even the basic meal enjoyable as you dine with the mountains as your backdrop. At night, slip into the hot tub and star gaze or enjoy the sounds of nature all around.

Bearfoot Escape consists of 3 spacious king suites, full bathrooms in each suite, and another half bath on each floor. The efficient split floor plan has a large kitchen, living, and dining area on the main (upstairs) floor with one suite and one half bath; and full game room, two king suites, and another half bath on the lower level. Both floors have covered decks with a different view for everybody's preference! Outdoor cooking, seating, and relaxing is offered throughout each deck including a hot tub (privately off the back), outdoor dining table, rocking chairs, fire pit, and patio heater. Parking is available for up to three cars.

As you enter the cabin, you'll be struck by the beauty of the main floor entertaining area. Furnishings of the cabin are comfortable and accommodating for a party of eight. Wood floors and ceilings throughout the cabin set the tone for your relaxing retreat. Show off your culinary skills in our gourmet kitchen with new appliances, beautiful countertops, and fully-stocked cupboards. If you're a grill master we haven't forgotten you. On the deck is a gas grill waiting to be fired up to prepare your steaks, burgers, and chicken. Enjoy that meal with a glass of wine outdoors by our outdoor gas fire pit.

Downstairs you'll find a spacious game room, where the competitive juices start flowing across games of pool, foosball, and plenty of classic table-top board games. The game room also includes ample seating (a comfortable love seat and pull-out sofa), a flat screen TV, and access to a covered deck and hot tub. Full laundry can be found in the utility closet right off the game room.

Our 2,300 square foot cabin comfortably accommodates groups of 1–8 guests and provides vacation amenities throughout. Each bedroom is beautifully appointed with an electric fireplace, flat screen TV, luxury linens, and sufficient pillows important for a good night’s sleep. A pullout sofa in the game room accommodates the 7th and 8th guest comfortably. For our guest who must stay connected we offer wireless internet and desk space with a 24" computer monitor.

Just down the road, our guests have access to all three Chalet Village Clubhouses that feature large swimming pools, tennis courts, a gym, shuffleboard, game rooms, and much more! Pools remain open from Memorial Day through Labor Day each season.

We know that you'll enjoy every aspect of Bearfoot Escape, and we look forward to making you feel like our home is your home.

Superb Accommodations!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stuart's cabin! The cabin itself was beautiful, spacious and clean. We appreciated all of the included amenities, as well as Stuart's quick responses to our questions. We hated to leave and would definitely stay here again if we returned to the area.

Family trip to Gatlinburg area
Overall the house was great. Would highly recommend. Pictures are accurate. 3 bedrooms each with own bathroom and 2 more 1/2 bathrooms. Gameroom downstairs with pool table and foosball. Great location as about 1/2 way between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but more closer to downtown Gatlinburg. Showers had decent pressure and kitchen well stocked with everything you need. The driveway is a little tricky but manageable but do recommend if coming up from the Gatlinburg welcome center side you really should drive past it and do a uturn to come up from that direction up the driveway. Views were great. Only downside was their was a house being built just up the road so could hear typical construction noise when sitting on the balcony for breakfast but wasn’t too loud. Quiet in the house. Maybe could use some darkening shades on the front bedrooms as gets bright with the rising sun. Again, overall was great for our trip with ideal location, private, 3 bedrooms was perfect for our family with own bathrooms, and plenty of space to chill upstairs or downstairs on the couches and TV. Also Brandon (owner) was quick to reply to questions and very helpful with sending info and access to place was easy. Certainly will stay again on a future trip.

Gatlinburg Jewel
Great spot for family gathering!! We had three couples and all had their own bedroom/bathroom with king size beds!! There are 2 additional bathrooms as well. Lots of great room space for families to gather and interact with one another! House is perfectly located between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg making getting to outings easy and time friendly! We were blessed to have a mama bear and her 3 cubs come right up to the property for a visit. The cubs climbed and played in the trees while mom was checking everything out!!!! So cool!!!!
