PET POLICIES:
- Only 2 pets are allowed at $50 per night. Guest must notify Host of pet and pay pet fee.
- Some breeds are known to shed heavily, which can require extra cleaning time and may delay check-in for the next guest. To keep things fair, if your dog is a heavy shedder (examples include Akita, Husky, Corgi, Retriever, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherd, Chow Chow, American Eskimo, and Alaskan Malamute), please note:
• An additional cleaning charge may apply if the time and cost of cleaning exceed the standard pet fee.
• If cleaning takes longer than usual and results in a delayed check-in or refund for the next guest, the guest will be responsible for that loss.
- Pet must be fully potty trained, flea and tick free, and current on prevention treatment.
- No pet on furniture.
- Never use human towel for pet.
- Do not leave pet alone in the house unless pet stays in a crate and is fully crate trained.
- Guest must clean up after pet both indoor and outdoor. If Guest needs cleaning assistance, please contact Host.

This cabin is beautiful and met every expectation I had. It has everything you will need for your stay there. The cabin is in great condition and we didn't have any issues at all. We had 3 generations under one roof and everyone loved it. The game room upstairs is amazing and we played everything. I was hoping to see bears and we saw them every morning so keep your doors locked. You also have a view of the tram to Ober Gatlinburg as it goes by, My kids had never stayed in a cabin on the morning and they fell in love with staying there. We will be back!

Bears

We encountered a mama and 3 cubs trolling the front yard 5 minutes after checking in. It's a once in a life time experience that we will talk about for years. The cabin is surrounded by green and the way it sticks out of a slope make we feel like we were alone, even though there are neighbors on all sides. The view from the deck is amazing. We would love to make this place our annual family retreat.

Excellent stay

Excellent stay. The cabin is exceptionally well taken care of, and the communication from Kate was top-tier—her explicit instructions made everything from parking to checkout completely seamless. The layout worked perfectly for our group; the game room is a standout feature, while the 4K TVs and high-quality amenities throughout the house were a nice touch. The location is hard to beat—you're just 5 minutes from the National Park entrance and downtown, yet it remains quiet and scenic. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, stress-free retreat.

About the host

Hosted by lchouserentals

Host profile image

I have a great interest in interior decor and travelling. Hosting a vacation rental means I can do both yay! I purchased this cabin in Sep 2019. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, and I hope you do too. I think money may or may not bring joy; however, travel definitely makes us happier. It gives us an opportunity to step outside our well-worn, self-constructed realities and provides a platform to explore ourselves - who we might be when we are not anxious about safety, security and status. Being in the travel business make me feel like I am a life improver. I am happy when my guests are happy. That is why I am working very hard to make your experiences of the Smokies pleasant and unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

I love everything about this cabin. It is located in Chalet Village, a perfect location that is close to everything. The cabin is new, spacious, and very well-maintained. All rooms have a cabin-style log bed with a comfy mattress, and a flat screen TV with Cable TV service. The cabin has a large 2-level deck with hot tub and BBQ grill, looking out to a million dollar view of the mountains and the tram. An entire story is designated for fun activities, including pooling table, poker table, arcade, and board games. Bears are active in the neighborhood, which provides a great opportunity for our guests to watch them from the deck. Another perk is access to three nearby clubhouses with pools and tennis courts.
