About this property
Free Arcade Room- Great views-1/2 Mi Ski Slopes, 3 Mi. Dwntwn
The Kids won't want to leave!!! Our kid friendly home has something to offer everyone!!EXCELLENT views which include beautiful sunrises over Mt. LaConte, the aerial tram, downtown Gatlinburg, a game room with FREE REAL arcade games that will for sure entertain adults and children for hours,located near one of the three Chalet Village community heated pools (open mid-May to mid Sept.),and 1/2 mile from the entrance to Ober Gatlinburg ski area. All of this for a great value!! PLUS, we have PARKING!! We have a parking area that can fit 4-5 cars across and everyone can get out or park a motorcycle trailer!!
Our Chalet is a large A-frame design. It has three levels with a bath on each level. The first level has 2 bedrooms (1Q, 1F), a full bath and a laundry facility (washer and dryer). The main level has 2 bedrooms (2Q's), a full bath, the living/dining room,gas fireplace with sunken living room, kitchen, and decks which surround 2 sides of our home, and the hot tub. The 3rd level has a bedroom (1K ), plus a bed (1F ) on the loft, a bath. The game room is its own room off this level and has couches. Our cabin is close to all the area attractions(Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Cherokee, National Park entrance and more). It sits on top of Ski Mountain in the Chalet Village neighborhood and our street ends with the boundary to the National Forrest which allows for an occasional visit from wildlife, i.e. 'L'il Smokey', a black bear, that likes to visit our home from time to time in search of their next meal. Even though, we are on top of the mountain, we are still only 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg and 15 minutes to Pigeon Forge.
We have WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICE, FREE LONG DISTANCE PHONE SERVICE for US & Canada, and digital cable. We have stereo systems, DVD and VHS players and a movie library for your viewing pleasure. We offer a complete kitchen and dishes with a set up for 15.
Our home has something for everyone...entertainment, close to all area attractions, views, the house is located a lot away from your neighbors on all sides, and fun. The word I usually use to describe our home is that is has 'Great Flow' for a group. While the kids are up in the game room, the adults can enjoy a movie or views from the deck.
Update: The Hot Tub was replaced in January 2022, and is working great.
We would love for you to stay with us. Just e-mails us today.
Sincerely,
John & Laura and Sandy & Steve

Everything was just like it said it was online. We had a awesome time and the kids had a blast, the cabin has plenty of room, clean, and well kept definitely will try to book again in future.
The amenities location hot tub gameroom and spacious cabin were all amazing. Being visited by a bear family on the back deck was great experience for the kids they were able to get up close veiws of the nears while in the safety of the home windows are hreat for viewing the bears
This was perfect for our blended family of youths and young adults. We even got visited by a bear family and later a raccoon - we didn’t feed nor approach any wildlife - just observed through the window as mama and her three cubs roamed the deck and walked on - but it was nothing short of magical!! I highly recommend this cabin and all the amenities including a Mack daddy of a game room!
Wonderful location, a little out of date, but we knew it going in and still well worth the rate. Hosts were commuincative, very reasonable with check out list, and wonderful. No issues during stay, except lack of pillows for the amount of people we booked for. Wildlife was abundant, feel like better door locks would be useful! We all had a great time.

I wish she had contacted me. There are electric floor heaters in the downstairs bedrooms with a thermostat - those rooms get plenty warm when used.
House was perfect for our large group! Owners were very helpful with answering questions. We loved the hot tub, game room, the fire place conversation pit and the views!!
Nice older chalet. Clean and quiet. Lock your car doors, had a bear get in our car and trash it. Also had them watching us while we were in the hot tub and laying on the decks. Nice location to get in town and out to pigeon forge.
We stayed here with 4 toddlers & 6 adults. It was WELL loved from all. I seen some reviews mentioning it was “dirty” or “out of date”, but it was clean! It would be considered out dated in comparison to the more modern cabins, but it gave it character & made it feel so homey. We did come across a couple issues, but they were no problem to us & the host responded quickly about it. The stairs are steep inside the house. We had a few incidents but all was okay (fault of our own, just wanted to give a warning). They provided one baby gate that was broken, but we improvised with it. If you do stay here, I would bring anything you might need - salt, pepper, aluminum foil, etc. because very little was provided (for example: a (maybe) 2oz bottle of dish soap and that was all we could find). There was hand soap, towels, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.Overall, regardless of the little inconveniences, this was a fantastic stay and might become an annual stay!
Enough room for a large family. Kids & grown kids alike enjoyed the gameroom! Owners were awesome at communicating!

The cabin was nasty and very rundown. Three of the beds were broken, the kitchen drawers were falling out. Carpet was torn and filthy, the veneer was peeling on all the doors. The bedding was 1 thin worn out blanket, mattress were stained and filthy. The shower head in the upstairs was broken off, the faucet in one bath tub was broken it was either hot or cold no adjustment at all.
The cabin was located in a very ideal place being within 5 minutes of downtown Gatlinburg. You could actually see the Ober Gatlinburg tram just overhead. The owners were highly responsive and the house came ready with everything you need for food prep as well.
Seen lots of bears and had plenty of space for all of us other than the driveway being a little steap and u can hear every noise someone makes on the top floor when ur in the bedroom on the middle floor it was good
Older home but very functional. Kids enjoyed the hot tub and game room.

The house needs updateing it has potential to be a really cool place, but it was very dirty! The walls, doors, light switches, etc. And there was no mountain view from the house.
This was our first family vacation and our family absolutely enjoyed it! Loved being in the mountains! The cabin was perfect!
