Welcome to Mountain Moonrise — Your May Family Retreat in the Smokies
Mountain Moonrise is a spacious 3-level chalet thoughtfully designed for families and multi-generational groups. Practically at the doorstep of Ober Mountain and just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, May is one of the most magical months to visit the Smokies. The mountains are lush and green, Dollywood's Flower & Food Festival is in full swing through June 7, and one of nature's rarest spectacles — the synchronous fireflies at Elkmont — lights up the national park from May 20–27. The Chalet Village clubhouse pools open from May 22, adding a refreshing new dimension to your stay alongside the private hot tub and scenic decks. One guest captured it perfectly: "There were a ton of fireflies surrounding the house every night which was cool. The star gazing was also perfect from the top porch."

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 full day of adventures. 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). As one guest noted, "The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, the fire pits, grill, jacuzzi and patio lights all worked — the house is immaculate."

Right Next Door: Ober Mountain
Just ~2 miles away, Ober Mountain 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 scenic deck offering sweeping long-range views. A full family adventure day, right on your doorstep.
