Free Arcade Room- Great views-1/2 Mi Ski Slopes, 3 Mi. Dwntwn



The Kids won't want to leave!!! Our kid friendly home has something to offer everyone!!EXCELLENT views which include beautiful sunrises over Mt. LaConte, the aerial tram, downtown Gatlinburg, a game room with FREE REAL arcade games that will for sure entertain adults and children for hours,located near one of the three Chalet Village community heated pools (open mid-May to mid Sept.),and 1/2 mile from the entrance to Ober Gatlinburg ski area. All of this for a great value!! PLUS, we have PARKING!! We have a parking area that can fit 4-5 cars across and everyone can get out or park a motorcycle trailer!!

Our Chalet is a large A-frame design. It has three levels with a bath on each level. The first level has 2 bedrooms (1Q, 1F), a full bath and a laundry facility (washer and dryer). The main level has 2 bedrooms (2Q's), a full bath, the living/dining room,gas fireplace with sunken living room, kitchen, and decks which surround 2 sides of our home, and the hot tub. The 3rd level has a bedroom (1K ), plus a bed (1F ) on the loft, a bath. The game room is its own room off this level and has couches. Our cabin is close to all the area attractions(Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Cherokee, National Park entrance and more). It sits on top of Ski Mountain in the Chalet Village neighborhood and our street ends with the boundary to the National Forrest which allows for an occasional visit from wildlife, i.e. 'L'il Smokey', a black bear, that likes to visit our home from time to time in search of their next meal. Even though, we are on top of the mountain, we are still only 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg and 15 minutes to Pigeon Forge.

We have WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICE, FREE LONG DISTANCE PHONE SERVICE for US & Canada, and digital cable. We have stereo systems, DVD and VHS players and a movie library for your viewing pleasure. We offer a complete kitchen and dishes with a set up for 15.

Our home has something for everyone...entertainment, close to all area attractions, views, the house is located a lot away from your neighbors on all sides, and fun. The word I usually use to describe our home is that is has 'Great Flow' for a group. While the kids are up in the game room, the adults can enjoy a movie or views from the deck.

Update: The Hot Tub was replaced in January 2022, and is working great.

We would love for you to stay with us. Just e-mails us today.

Sincerely,

John & Laura and Sandy & Steve

Nice older chalet. Clean and quiet. Lock your car doors, had a bear get in our car and trash it. Also had them watching us while we were in the hot tub and laying on the decks. Nice location to get in town and out to pigeon forge.

Nice stay

The cabin was located in a very ideal place being within 5 minutes of downtown Gatlinburg. You could actually see the Ober Gatlinburg tram just overhead. The owners were highly responsive and the house came ready with everything you need for food prep as well.

Fun time in the Smoky Mountains

We had a great time at this quaint cabin up in the Smoky Mountains. The kids (ages 7-15) and the adults alike loved the game room. The hot tub was amazing, with beautiful views overlooking the mountains. We didn’t see any actual bears, but we know they were there! I enjoyed my stay.

Great location!

This was our first family vacation in quite a long time. The property was just as the owner said. It was a terrific location. We really enjoyed Ober Village which is super close to this cabin. We got several visits from local bears which we loved. The grandkids LOVED the game room. All in all a super fun vacation and we loved where we stayed.

Lovely spring break getaway with family

The hot tub and game room were a big hit with our group. Driveway indeed had plenty of parking and our group of 10 had plenty of space to spend time together for meals or games (or apart for quiet time). The location was convenient to the National Park and the owners were excellent about early communication with clear instructions.
