Absolutely loved this place!cozy and warm,kids we’re playing all the time downstairs and the fireplace was wonderful!thank you Paula,best host always texting us about everything happening in Gatlinburg!
We had a wonderful time at Goldilocks’ Haven. We loved the family game room and relaxing in the hot tub and just sitting on the decks and enjoying the scenery. We especially enjoyed seeing the multiple bears and cubs.
We had a great stay. Paula was great at providing us all the info we needed, and she was very responsive.
We loved the Goldilocks Haven, wish we spent more nights there.
The house was in a great location and was stocked with everything you could possibly think of. The kids loved all of the games and activities. Paula was by far the best host I have ever worked with! The information she provided about directions, driving do's and dont's, check in and just generally checking to see if we needed anything was awesome. We would definitely stay again!
This cabin and owner more than meet expectations. The owner has put a lot of thought into supplying all your needs. Although we had no kids with our group, this is a great place for them. So many games and activities. And the owner is great with communication. She checked on us to make sure everything met our expectations. Will definitely book again.
It was very roomy for our family of 5. Three being grown men. Loved seeing all the black bears families roaming around being some neat entertainment the balconies. Loved the stayy looking forward to coming back in the future.
Goldilocks Haven was the perfect place for our group to stay for the long weekend. A quick trip to downtown Gatlinburg to explore, and a more than accommodating space for group. Communication with the owners was excellent. John and Paula were great hosts for us!
Organized, clean, and amazing communication by owner.

About the host
Hosted by Paula
The story of Goldilocks' Haven began in August of 2004, but in reality, it goes back even FURTHER than that! Let's just say, it has been a multi generational story, going back to Paula'a grandparents, who honeymoooned in G'burg, taking in the beauty of the GSMNP in its most original essence, back in 1935, and came for 50 years STRAIGHT, eventually bringing along their own family, and then Paula's parents bringing her+siblings, and then we had the crazy idea, to continue that same passion that they had developed in Paula, with our own daughter, making the 4th generation. You see , it's not just the sweet memories of coming with grandparents & parents that has made this area, the GSMNP so special, but it's the BEAUTY, the TRANQUILITY that takes us away from the concrete jungle EVERT TIME we hit the parkway taking us into G'burg. It's the moments we've spent skipping rocks w/ our daughter, the lunches on big boulders on the river at the Chimney tops picnic area, the peacefulness of Cades Cove that takes us back to the original settlers of the area and how simple their lives were ( yet required hard work and hard times, as evidenced by the many young lives noted on cemetery headstones) and the BEAUTY they took in EVERY single day, living in these mountains that continue to call us HOME! They were ON to something contagious and these mountains have captured our hearts and souls, not to mention the people of today- welcoming, genuine, real and offering a part of themselves to US as we only know in part, what many of their family have known for GENERATIONS..the MOUNTAINS are calling, and I must GO~John Muir GH has been thoughtfully deisgned by our own hands, over our 20yrs, prior to John's Homegoing in November 2023. As I continue to carry GH forward, we hope you and your guests will create memories to carry your family and friends throughout the generations. With our family of 3, ALL blonde hair, it is only natural to be Goldilocks Haven - Just Right!
Why they chose this property
AH, CHALET VILLAGE...it is the GEM of the Gatlinburg community, and highly sought after, as it offers ourselves, AND our guests, what many of us don't even realize we need >TRANQUILITY and an ESCAPE from the concrete jungle. Chalet Village spoke to us almost INSTANTLY as we entered the natural setting that sets us apart from other communities, as well as the proximity to the GSMNP. Can we say BEARS????? An added bonus is having OBER mountain at the top of our mountain, and getting to see the tram go by. These, plus the proximity to the G'burg bypass, 5 minutes to downtown G'burg and 5 minutes to the entrance ( and VERY popular, park sign , for the almost obligatory pic) were added perks that appealed to us. As the park is what draws us to the area, we felt the proximity to it as an added benefit for our guests, that makes it easy to get around, without sitting in so much traffic on extended weekend getaways or week long vacations. You see, Chalet Village is one of the earliest communities in the area. It captures within its community, the essence of what would later become the most highly visited national park in the country, all right within Chalet Village. This meant that ourselves AND our guests, could and WOULD feel as close the GSMNP all while being able to stay in a cabin with various modern amenties. This makes it possible for us to offer our guests what is part of our mission, and our name:a HAVEN, peace, rest, restoration Chalet Village stole our hearts! 500 yards from the GSMNP border. Each lot and structure is UNIQUE ( not cookie cutter ) mimicking the uniuque character of the mountains- NO TWO are EVER alike. Each property is DIFFERENT, having its own personality. Being able to offer our guests accessibilty to 3 clubhouses, with tennis courts, a fitness room, basketball courts & PICKLEBALL courts ( opened May of 2024), including a pool with a MOUNTAIN view. All these amounted to be a SLAM DUNK in our decision!
