    *New photos coming soon~

    Welcome to Ski’n with the Bears!

    Located in sought-after Chalet Village, this fully renovated chalet features seasonal mountain views, views of the Ober Mountain tram and an easy, straight-in driveway. Just 5 minutes to Ober Mountain, downtown Gatlinburg, Anakeesta and hiking! Relax in the private hot tub or enjoy 2 arcades, foosball, ping pong, Cornhole and a Nex Playground. Plus, enjoy Chalet Village’s pools and year-round pickleball/tennis!

    Welcome to your Smoky Mountain getaway in Chalet Village, one of the most sought-after communities in the area! This fully renovated chalet combines beautiful mountain surroundings with plenty of space and entertainment for the whole family.

    One of our favorite features is the easy, straight-in driveway — a welcome bonus when navigating the mountains! You can enjoy the convenience of being just about 5 minutes from Ober Mountain, downtown Gatlinburg, Anakeesta, hiking and more, while still having a peaceful place to come home to.

    Mountain Views & Great Room

    Step inside and you'll immediately notice the large open windows that fill the cozy great room with natural light and showcase the beautiful seasonal mountain views. You can even watch the Ober Mountain tram traveling up and down the mountain!

    Curl up in front of the gas fireplace, stream your favorite shows on the large Vizio Smart TV, or gather around the table for dinner, games and family time.

    The great room is also where the fun happens! Enjoy two arcade games (Centipede & Pac-Man), foosball, ping pong and Cornhole. We also have a Nex Playground for even more family entertainment.

    Relax & Enjoy the Outdoors

    After a day of hiking, skiing or exploring Gatlinburg, relax in the private Jacuzzi hot tub located just outside the bedrooms.

    Enjoy the gas firepit on the upper deck or gather around the wood-burning firepit for an evening under the stars.

Family Trip

This was a great location. In the past we stayed at a property that had a daunting driveway, this was the easiest driveway to get in and out of! We traveled with a 3 yr old and 2 yr old, I was so pleased to see that the property provided a baby gate for the stairs and a safe balcony that only had access from inside the house. This property exceeded all expectations and was just as pictured.

Perfect Christmas Getaway!

We arrived to a beautiful Christmas tree and decor, it was perfect! The house was the perfect size for a family of four adults. It was clean, beds were comfortable and a fully stocked kitchen. The driveway way flat but it is definitely up the mountain to get to the cabin, but perfect location. We loved our stay at Ski'n with The Bears!!❤️

Awesome Trip!

I came here with a group of nine, and we absolutely loved it! The views from the porch are awesome (we saw two bears!), the house is absolutely gorgeous and looks even better in person, and the hot tub and other amenities were great as well. Michelle is a great host and made sure we had everything (and more) that we needed to have an amazing trip. I think this is definitely the place to beat, and if I ever come back to Gatlinburg with a bigger group, I will absolutely be staying here again.

Everything about our stay in this Gatlinburg cabin was fantastic. We have stayed in a number of different cabins in the Ski Mountain area and this one easily is a favorite. We appreciated great communication from the host and easy-to-follow procedures. I liked that our family of four could have plenty of space to longer and relax. The updates to this cabin make for a nice experience. All the little details added up—from having plenty of towels and cookware to having a variety of entertainment options available. The dining area was also a favorite — spacious and could easily seat all of us. We’ve been in a number of cabins in this area where small dining tables are crammed in tight areas. All that to say - thankful for this stay and we’d happily book it again.
We loved the open feeling of the space and beautiful updates.

Great Location

We enjoyed our stay. Like many others have shared, great location. And Michelle was very responsive and hospitable. My kids enjoyed the games and seeing the bears. The community pool was great to have. A couple of ideas that I think would really elevate the experience - blankets in the living room, a long bench on the wall across from the toilet in the master bath, and hooks on the wall to the right of the sink in the master bath. Overall, would recommend.
