❤️Romantic Chalet ★ Views of City Lights, Ober Mountain & Gatlinburg ✔ Hot Tub ★

Relax.....take a deep breath.....you're at the chalet now. Life is good at the chalet!

Nestled among the mountains and trees is “Grin and Bear It”, a lovely chalet overlooking Gatlinburg. With a completely secluded deck with hot tub and gorgeous views overlooking Ober Mountain, most every window has a view to enjoy.

The chalet is in a resort community and maintains that highly sought after "tucked away" and private feel.
It is conveniently only 15 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg.

*Note, if booking January and February, we require you bring snow chains (just in case). Although it doesn't snow every day, it does snow during these months and you will need these to get up the mountain roads if it is snowy.

Delight in the comfort and coziness of the family room; with its comfortable seating, sleep sofa, lovely fireplace, and charming mountain decor.

The cooks among you will enjoy our well equipped kitchen which is open to the dining room and our outdoor grill.

As an added bonus you can unwind in the steaming hot tub on the back deck while admiring the beautiful views.

Waking up to the mountains every morning will never disappoint. The view from any room in the house is great, especially from the Master bedroom’s King bed upstairs. With vaulted ceilings soaring above you, the mountains around you, it is a delightful world of your own.

When you return from your day of excursions our chalet is a wonderful oasis for you to enjoy and socialize. Envision coming home to the chalet after experiencing the beauty and splendor of the Great Smoky Mountains. The glow of the fireplace casts a dreamlike ambiance. Surrounded by your friends and loved ones, you sip hot chocolate or your favorite refreshment while you reminisce, laugh, and reconnect. This is where memories are made.

We want our chalet to be a place for you to relax, rejuvenate, and renew your spirit. This is your vacation. With you in mind we designed “Grin and Bear It” as an affordable and comfortable retreat. We’ve included modern amenities so that your experience will be carefree and enjoyable.

You'll feel like you are a part of the mountains staying here, yet with all the comforts of home. You might even see a few bears. Soak up the delicious views from the hot tub, the many windows inside or the two decks outside. The solitude and sounds of nature will be just what you need, and the close proximity to Gatlinburg makes this the perfect getaway. This lovely chalet will make you feel like you're on the top of the world, and the views are definitely worth the climb.

Overall good

Property was clean and provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. Only downside was the hot tub cover was difficult to put back on due limited space and it being strapped down entirely on one side Pool table not really usable due to space around it.

We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay here again. The amenities were just as they were listed online, it was very clean, the location was great and the Privacy was fantastic. We would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a place to stay in Gatlinburg.

A True Mountain Getaway

Great views right in the middle of a mountain village. This is a perfect place for a secluded nature getaway. Definitely a place where you want to shut in for several days. The hot tub is perfectly placed on the patio and you can see all the fun at Ober Mountain. Loved it there.

Amazing view

This little cabin was perfect for our little weekend getaway. It’s was clean, comfortable, there was no odd smells, and the hot tub was perfect! I will add that you may need 4x4 to get up the driveway since it’s quite steep but the cabin is on the side/top of a mountain which is what we wanted and loved every bit of it.

I cannot say 1 thing negative about this place! Everything was absolutly perfect! Its quiet, secluded, has gorgeous views, and the chalet itself is beautiful!! It was well worth travelling the curvy roads to get there. Side note...always lock your car doors because those Gatlinburg bears are smart and they do know how to open car doors!!! at

Private location

We enjoyed our stay in this private location. The hot tub was the best part. There were a lot of windows for natural light. The cabin was clean. The driveway was steep but we managed in a RAV4 without issues. The music from Ober Gatlinburg played loudly all day but after 7:00 we were able to enjoy the quietness outside. Not much of a mountain view but you can see the Gatlinburg Summit condos and Ober Gatlinburg. The view of their lights at night was peaceful.

The drive wasn't horrible some, we are from wv do mountain drivingis something we are use to. The house was clean and well kept. We did see 2 bears a momma and her cub, they were a little two friendly, they opened the back door while i was sitting in the car looked in saw us then closed the door. Definitely something we will never forget. The only down side was the pool tabel was a little to close to the wall but other than that it was perfect.

Amazing Getaway Spot

The house was extremely well maintained, with everything needed for an amazing week/weekend away in the mountains. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a lovely vacation. While the drive up looks a little bit difficult it is much easier than it looks and it is extremely beautiful and well worth it. As soon as I entered the house it gave me that warm cozy feeling. It had the most comfortable bed, and the hot tub was just perfect. Adrina was very helpful with every aspect of the trip, she was amazing and I couldn’t be more thankful. It was one of the best vacations I’ve had!!

Beautiful, Remote Cabin in the Mountains

We enjoyed our stay! The drive up to the cabin was an adventure, but the hosts gave us great tips to find the cabin. We saw a family of bears on our drive to the cabin which was a highlight of the trip. The location is great for hiking and sightseeing in the park and visiting Gatlinburg for dinner and drinks. The cabin had everything we needed and very comfortable for 2 couples. Very quiet area. We enjoyed the upper deck and hot tub. Our only comment was the bed was very squeaky and probably just needs to tighten up some screws. We will be back. Hosts were great and very responsive to our questions!

Great stay! Wonderful secluded location!

We had a wonderful stay for our 25th wedding anniversary. The house was clean and just as described. The driveway was steep, as were the roads, but that’s expected when staying in the mountains. No 4 wheel drive needed and we actually wished we had brought my small car and not my husband’s truck because the roads were a bit narrow. We followed the hosts directions and placed the provided bear deterrent around our vehicle, locked our trash can and did not leave food in our vehicle. We did had a mama bear and two cubs visit with us one afternoon. They did not disturb our vehicle and we enjoyed seeing them from a safe distance. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful spot!

This was a great place to stay. Beautiful, clean, private. Nice little kitchen, comfy bed, clean hot tub, checked all my boxes... Only cons are very steep driveway, could only make it up with 4x4 when the snow melted. Also the pool table (its real nice with beautiful new felt) is cramped in the corner, needed to use the little stick on three sides. We had fun with it but it was weird using the small stick, we had brought our own sticks to play some matches together but we "grinned and beared it" (if you move the table, there is a 150 dollar leveling fee.) That said, we really liked this romantic spot, would recommemd.
