Breathtaking Smoky Mtn View - Steps to Ober Gatlinburg, Hot Tub, Game Room
Welcome to Mountain Moonrise — Your Spring Family Retreat in the Smokies Mountain Moonrise is a spacious 3-level chalet sleeping up to 8 guests, thoughtfully designed for families and multi-generational groups. Practically at the doorstep of Ober Mountain and just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, this is one of the best-located chalets in the Smokies for a spring getaway. Step outside onto one of three scenic decks, soak in the private hot tub, or gather around one of two firepits as the mountains bloom around you. Wildflowers are beginning to carpet the trails, Dollywood's 2026 season just opened, and Gatlinburg's SpringFest is filling downtown with over 150,000 blooming flowers and dazzling light sculptures through June 1. One guest shared, "The view from the cabin was simply breathtaking… we can't wait to return!"
Bedrooms & Bathrooms The chalet features two king suites, each with a private ensuite bathroom and stunning mountain views — perfect for parents or grandparents seeking a restful retreat after a day on the trails or at Ober Mountain. The lower-level bunk room includes solid farmhouse-style bunks and its own foosball table, a favorite space for kids. Upstairs, a cozy reading nook is ideal for morning coffee and misty spring sunrises. Bathrooms are well-stocked with full-size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash — no tiny hotel bottles — plus hairdryers in every bathroom. One bathroom also includes a bathtub, ideal for young children.
Main Living Space The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area is the heart of the home, filled with natural mountain light and anchored by a cozy electric fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a complete coffee bar (espresso, K-cup, and drip) — perfect for fueling up before a day at Ober Mountain or Dollywood, or winding down with the family at night.
Right Next Door: Ober Mountain One of Mountain Moonrise's standout advantages is how close it sits to Ober Mountain. This spring the park offers the Tennessee Flyer mountain coaster, Cloud Catcher ziplines, indoor ice skating, ice bumper cars, wildlife habitat encounters, Smoky Mountain bobsled, rock wall, jump pillow, and more. New this season, the Sky Village Express chairlift takes guests to the highest lift-served peak in the Smokies at 3,455 feet — with a brand new scenic deck showcasing sweeping views across the mountains. A full family adventure day, right on your doorstep.
Entertainment & Game Room The lower-level game room is a great retreat for all ages after a full day of exploring. - Pool Table - Multicade Arcade - Movie Area - Board Games
Outdoor Living Spring transforms the decks at Mountain Moonrise into some of the best seats in the Smokies. - Main Level Deck: Dining table firepit — perfect for meals with mountain views - Upper Deck: Gathering firepit for s'mores, stargazing, and evening conversations.

Family-Friendly Amenities Traveling with kids is easy and stress-free with everything thoughtfully provided: - Pack 'n Play - High Chair and Baby Bathtub - Kids' Utensils, Books, and Toys for Early Readers One parent raved, "They provide pack 'n play, toddler bathtub, kids' tableware, and games!"

Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the house, views, and your stay. I can’t wait to host you again next year!
This house is truly stunning and has everything you need for a stay in the mountains. Being off the bypass is super convenient to both sides of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The views from the house are amazing and the area is super quiet. Perfect for couples or a small family. This was our second stay and we will be rebooking again soon.

The views were excellent from the balconies, and the house was exactly as described. The rooms were comfortable. In addition, we were able to see a family of bears wondering through the back yard!
