If you're heading to the park, make your way down ski mountain and turn right once you get to Cici's Pizza. You'll see the visitors center and can pick up all sorts of info on hikes and scenic trails. If you're heading to downtown, you have a few options. You can head up to Ober Gatlinburg and take the aerial tram into downtown. There is a fee for parking and the tram itself. Get close to the window. The view is great!
The next option is to head down the hill and you'll find lots of options for paid parking. Okay, shhh...I'm going to tell you a secret. Turn left when you get to Cici's on River Road. There is a little bit of free parking here. You might get a spot if you start early in the day. If not, the best deal in town for short term parking is Downtown Parking right next to Tom and Earl's Back Alley Grill, also on River Road. It's cash only and $2.00 per hour. Everything else in town is generally a flat rate of $15 or $20, which is great if you're staying all day.
Another option is to take the trolley. The trolley doesn't come to the chalet but there is free parking at the visitor center and you can ride the trolley for free.
Lastly, you can Uber to Ober. Haha! See what I did there?

The driveway is steep and a 4WD or AWD is recommended. But our front wheel drive Ford Fusion makes it up the hill just fine, so if you have just a smidge of courage, you should be fine!
We cannot do early check-ins or late check-outs from Memorial Day to New Years Day.
All late check-outs have to be pre-approved 24 hours in advance or a $100 fine will be charged if you stay past check-out time without permission. NO PETS ALLOWED!
*Community Resort pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
