Cabin was cozy and removed from the tourist trap of downtown. Our kids enjoyed the creek and the hot tub. Beds were comfortable and we appreciated being able to do laundry and have a half bathroom for the kids. If you aren’t planning to cook, the kitchen is fine and has basic items needed for cereal and making sandwiches. We did make dinner one night and that was a little challenging. Host was very responsive and kind.

Well, I am certainly going to respond to the kitchen complaint part of this review!!! Cathy said. “If you aren’t planning to cook, the kitchen is fine and has basic items needed for cereal and making sandwiches. We did make dinner one night and that was a little challenging” OMG OMG There is a kitchen range with 4 burners & full-size oven, air fryer microwave, refrigerator, all small appliances that include an electric mixer, electric can opener, blender, George Forman grill, slow cooker, large electric skillet, abundance of cookware, pots & pans, utensils, dishes of all types, toaster, regular coffee maker, plus a Keurig. There are kitchen cabinets and a counter & a separate pantry. What in the world could be missing? I have had guests host large Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners for their families in this chalet for the past 6 years & have never heard a single complaint about the kitchen. So, Cathy, during your short 3-night stay, you say all you could make without a challenge is cereal and sandwiches?? What a ridiculous thing to say! What did you expect in a mountain chalet, Cathy? A gourmet kitchen?

The host was more than helping, she was great… BUT the stairs about killed us lol we are 60 to 63 year old women BUT we conquered those stairs.. didn’t see them in the pictures associated with this rental, but it was lovely, the hot tub was amazing, there was a knob off the stove to one of the burners but, but like I said before we are older women dealt with that also!! We stayed in most of the time because we were there for the R&R, only thing I think upset us was our free pass for a lot of things didn’t work.. but we still had a ball, just wish I could have played some pool but we couldn’t find the place that was associated with our Vrbo.. but had a great time, thanks Geri

I do everything I can to help my guests have an enjoyable stay, before and during their reservation. But, one thing I cannot do is make people read what is before their eyes & look at the pictures on my listing, so there would be no reason for anyone not to know there are steps at this property. To address Sena’s remark that said “only thing I think upset us was our free pass for a lot of things didn’t work” She is referring to the pass for the 3 Chalet Village Owners’ Clubs that are free to my guests during Memorial Day & Labor Day……Sena & her friends were there in FEBRUARY, NOT DURING MEMORIAL DAY & LABOR DAY. (Which is clearly posted on my listing, picture captions, multiple messages, Welcome Guide & Information Book with maps & directions for each of the 3 clubhouses located in the chalet…. got to read, folks!! So, I am not sure why they would be upset when that is an oversight on their part. I had actually talked to her about this several times when she was there, so I am not sure why she would even include it in her review. Now for that missing knob!! A guest broke that knob years ago, & believe me, I have tried everywhere to find a replacement that would fit, bought many bags of various knobs, & none of them worked. So, I just gave up on that since there are 3 more burners with knobs. Other guests over the past few years seem to make it fine with 3 burners, but Sena & her friends may have found it hard with only 3 burners, a microwave & oven. Sorry if the missing knob & not being able to play pool at the clubhouses in February because the clubhouses are only available Memorial Day thru Labor Day caused any hardship, Sena, but I am happy to hear that you found the hot tub amazing, the chalet lovely, me being helpful & so happy to hear that you all “had a ball” on your girl’s trip. Thanks for coming.

I allowed Cathy to bring 2 large German Shepherds with her to my cabin, with her agreement to the Pet Policy. How did she repay me? By leaving dog hair all over the couch, on the bedding upstairs & downstairs, on the rugs...all over the cabin. The housekeeper had to bring in extra help to clean it all up before the next guest arrived.....carpets & upholstery had to be shampooed; upholstery & bedspreads had to be washed...the housekeepers said it was one of the nastiest conditions they had ever seen left by a guest. Cathy, is this the way you live at your home? OBVIOUSLY, it is! Cathy, the Pet Fees you paid were for the privilege of bringing your dogs along on your vacation; they were not for housekeeping to clean up your nasty mess. As the Pet Policy states & that you agreed & electronically signed, I will be charging you an additional cleaning fee. I would think that even most people who live like that at home would probably try to keep others from knowing how nasty they are & clean up when in someone else's home, but not Cathy. So disgusting! So disrespectful!

Comfortable bed and clean. Convenient to Gatlinburg. No dishwasher. Had to wash everything by hand. No internet, no cable the for the 3 days we were there. No grass area for our little dog to go to the bathroom.All rocks.

VrboOwner a répondu le 9 nov. 2025
Oh, Martina......did you see on my VRBO listing that there was a dishwasher? NO, you did not because it isn't there. I know it must have been dreadfully painful to have to wash dishes for 3 days, and that is why you mentioned it in your review. But, I'm a little confused, it seemed like every time we chatted, you all were "out to eat" Hmmmm.... not many dishes to wash then, I suppose. LOL Over 12 million people experience the magic of the Great Smoky Mountains each year & all the many wonderful, exciting things to do & see, but Martina seemed not to be able to survive 3 days without internet in this wonderful environment. Yes, it is true, we all enjoy the convenience of the internet in our lives, but sometimes things just do not go as planned. Then the best we can do is not to dwell on the problem, but go to Plan B. And, Plan B in the wonderful Great Smoky Mountains means many fun & exciting things, or just hang out & watch any of the many movies on the DVD player in this cabin’s living room or bedroom, if there is no internet for TV.. I tried very hard to help with the internet issue for Martina. I was on the phone & on hold with the service provider & technician for over 4 hours the first night of Martina’s arrival. I finally got the appointment set for the technician to come the next day. The next morning, I received a message saying the appointment was on hold due to an area outage affecting hundreds of people in the area. I kept Marina updated with the outage that I had no control over. She continued to tell me how disappointed she was. I did everything I could do except climb the pole and try to fix it myself, but that did not seem to be enough for her. It is always nice to know when I go above & beyond to help with any situation, a guest appreciates it and realizes there are also limitations to what I can do. I have to wonder, when Martina’s internet goes out in her home, does she get angry & blame her mortgage company or her landlord for the outage? Logical guests understand & accept the fact it is what it is…period. WHEN THERE IS A POWER OR INTERNET OUTAGE, THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO TO CHANGE THAT EXCEPT TO WAIT FOR THE SERVICE PROVIDERS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I enjoy reasonable guests visiting my cabins who acknowledge & accept that it is not the end of the world if there is an internet issue. Life is too short to host guests who DO NOT OR WILL NOT UNDERSTAND that!! Because life goes on, just like it did before there was ever an internet. Some visitors did not even have electricity during that time, but they survived & didn’t complain. One couple even laughed & called it an adventure! During that time, I had guests tell me that they were actually glad the internet was out, so they could enjoy the people & family that they came with & to be able to have uninterrupted conversations. Others said they did not come to the Smoky Mountains to sit in a cabin & play on the internet; they came to do & see all the things that the area had to offer…my kind of guests!! And your statement, "No grass area for our little dog to go to the bathroom.All rocks." Well, I will have to see about digging up the mountainside and laying sod for a place for your little dog to "go" the next time...Oh, but wait, I just remembered, just joking....you are not invited to come back.. Over the 18 years that I have been in this business, I have seen such a contrast in guests’ attitudes. Many, I look forward to their return year after year & call them friends…..Some I simply just never want to hear from again. The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. We are all in charge of our attitudes, we all react differently & some not for the better & I chose not to be around those folks again!!

Vacation

We loved this cabin. It was small and comfortable for the two of us and our dog, Rey. Close to Gatlinburg still felt like we had a getaway.

Great stay in Gatlinburg!

Had a great time in Gatlinburg at this cabin! The listing is accurate. Cabin isn’t perfect but it doesn’t need to be. Great location, great amenities, great experience!

I love those beautiful Great Smoky Mountains!! My most wonderful memories are when my Daddy would take the whole family there on yearly trips. I remember thinking how cool all those beautiful unique chalets & cabins were! I never imagined way back then that I would be so fortunate to actually have one. I now have several mountain cabins & chalets in the Great Smoky Mountains & they are my passion. I try very hard to make them the very best places for people to vacation. I love what I do so much & cannot imagine doing anything else, I feel I am the luckiest person in the world and am happy to share them with my guests!! See below:

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

This location is just the absolute best! Buddy's Bear Camp is located on Ski Mountain Road, less than a mile on the same main road to Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort & only 2 miles to downtown Gatlinburg & the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I own 3 other chalets on Ski Mountain Road, that's how much I love this area!

This area is where there are many original chalets that were built years ago. I love the unique look of the chalets there. When I found this property, it needed a lot of work & I worked on it for months along with a contractor putting it back in great shape. It has been totally remodeled and has all new flooring throughout, all new appliances, washer & dryer, new beds & mostly all new furniture. Now I am so proud of it because it is so beautiful & such a unique chalet.

I named this property Buddy's Creek-side Bear Camp after watching my Great Pyrenees, Buddy laying on the deck every day & checking out all the bears roaming around down on the ground below. There is a wonderful creek that is right in my front yard that constantly runs over the rocks & can be heard with soothing sounds day & night. The bears come & drink from that creek. This chalet sits high looking down on a main road called Ski Mountain Road & a wonderful ever-flowing creek.The chalet is tucked back in the woods has an amazing huge deck with beautiful stonework walls & pillars.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

The location of this chalet is just the best! Less than a mile to Ober Ski Resort & 2 miles to downtown Gatlinburg & the Great Smoky Mountain National Park & best of all is they are located on the same road as the chalet. So, no getting lost by twists & turns, just a straight shot!

The Chalet Village Market & Deli is on the same main road as the chalet & almost within walking distance of the Buddy's Bear Camp. There you can buy homemade pizza, burgers, beverages, beer & groceries. How convenient if you forget that bottle of ketchup or pickles for your grilling meal. They will also deliver to the chalet.
