REST, RELAX & PLAY

We’re so excited to host you at Chalet Zermatt for an incredible Smoky Mountains getaway. Come enjoy a charming space to chill, connect, and give your brain a break. You will likely see the bears (more info below)! Ask us for any tips about the area.

GUEST ACCESS

Chalet Village is in the mountains, so expect to drive on a few narrow and steep roads on your way up to Chalet Zermatt. 4-wheel drive is needed in wintry conditions. Approaching from South Baden Dr is the easiest way to access the driveway/parking area for the chalet. Your GPS may take you to North Baden Dr, but go ahead and pass it and re-route to South Baden. You can park right in front of the cabin and enter on the lower level or the second level, up the stairs. Both doors have keyless access. As stated above, all guests must be able to walk up stairs.

Parking is free and in our private driveway. There is space for 5-6 vehicles. You will park directly in front of the cabin and walk up the stairs to enter your vacation home. Parking is tandem style, which means vehicles parked last in will need to move out to allow vehicles at the front of the parking area to exit (if parking the max number of vehicles).

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE

- Bears are very prevalent in this area, which is so close to the National Park! You will most likely see black bears on the property while staying at Chalet Zermatt. Please abide by the recommended safety precautions below:

• always lock the chalet
• do not ever approach or feed bears
• do not leave food or trash of any kind outdoors at any time
• always lock your cars, and have windows rolled up; the bears can and will open doors including your car door if unlocked (if you do not want a bear inside your vehicle, please be diligent about locking it AT ALL TIMES)
• do not leave any food or beverage items in your car
• you must put trash bags in bear-proof trash bin at the end of the driveway
• stay aware of your surroundings outdoors

- We do not accept cancellations and do not offer refunds due to weather and/or weather-related conditions. We recommend you purchase your own travel insurance. Per our listing, Chalet Village is in the mountains; 4-wheel drive is needed in wintry conditions. Travel at your own risk.

- We provide all towels and linens. For your convenience we supply you with a limited starter kit of toilet paper, bar soap, paper towel roll, trash bags, and dishwasher detergent or pods. This is so that you are all set when you arrive, but the supply won’t last the entire trip. We do not provide toiletries. We don't supply firewood.

The “Chalet Village Market" just a few minutes away should have many of the essentials that you may need.

- Due to the agreement with our cleaning service provider, we are not able to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs. You may check in as early as 4 pm and must check out by 10 am. Guests who are not out of the chalet by check-out time will incur a non-negotiable $100 per half-hour late checkout fee.

- As we are in the mountains, nature-related elements are inevitable like weather and wildlife. You may lose power if there is a snowstorm/fallen trees, etc. As mentioned, you are very likely to see bears on the property and possibly other wildlife.

- Chalet Zermatt is on a monthly program to prevent insects. However, please remember you are at a cabin in the woods/mountains. It is not possible to keep 100% of insects out all of the time. Please keep doors closed and locked to prevent insects and wildlife from getting in.

- No RV or Trailer parking.

- You must be 25 years old to book. No smoking. No parties. No pets. Please read entire House Rules.
