About this property

A Mountain Home for the Cost of a Hotel Room

Brand new main floor bathroom September, 2020 and upstairs bathroom January, 2021. New air hockey table in December 2021. New hot tub in April 2022. Two ROKU televisions added in September 2022.
Great location, very affordable and tastefully decorated 2 bedroom (each with queen size bed plus queen size sleeper sofa), 1 1/2 bath Gatlinburg chalet located just 4 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg/Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 4 people maximum. Free wi-fi. 15 minute drive to action-packed Pigeon Forge. Very clean and private with all the comforts of home. Chalet offers 4 person hot tub and air hockey table. Sleeps 2-4 maximum.

Lover's Loft chalet is close enough to enjoy all that Gatlinburg has to offer yet far enough away to enjoy the solitude and serenity of the mountains. Our guests come to Lover's Loft to celebrate their honeymoon and return for their wedding anniversary and eventually to bring their own children. We hope your family makes wonderful memories of the Smokies as we have. This is our home away from home.

This chalet is perfect for honeymoons, family vacations, anniversaries or even as a unique gift idea. (Gift certificates available.)

'We feel right at home here. It's close enough to everything that we don't have to spend our whole trip driving from place to place. But, it's far enough away from all the cars and noise that we can have a quiet, peaceful time together after a busy day of shopping and attractions.' Renters from MI

'This chalet is perfect just the way it is. It is cheaper than most hotels with much more amenities. You couldn't ask for more!' Renters from TN

'Like most everyone else we were skeptical about renting on the internet...we have heard horror stories. When we arrived we were very pleased...the chalet is very clean and it felt homey.' Renters from AL

'This was a beautiful cabin and such a cozy place to get away to.' Renters from FL

The property was very nice and well kept. Other than some cobwebs in the upper windows and rafters it was very clean. I liked the closeness to the shopping and sight seeing and yet away from the hustle and bustle of the noise

Gatlinburg stay
Property was nice. Driveway is very steep. We drove a dually truck- do not recommend but it is doable...as long as nobody else is driving the road that leads to this location. We did get to see a bear here!

We had a great stay at Lovers' Loft! The home is cozy and private. We enjoyed the hot tub and air hockey table. The location is beautiful, and we even saw a bear! The property owners were very communicative and helpful. We will stay here again the next time we're in the area!

Great little cabin and location.
Very nice cabin. Clean. Nice hot tub. Nice big windows in the front. Relatively less expensive than other places in Gatlinburg. I can’t find any negatives for this house or the rental process. I have stayed here twice and enjoyed both stays very much.

Wonderful Little Mountain Home
I loved this property. Nestled in the Mountains above Gatlinburg, it was the perfect hideaway. The house was very clean and well taken care of. It was nice but still very homey and comfortable. I would stay here again.

Great Family Vacation
This was our 6th time staying at this property! We love it here! We come every 5 years to vacation in Gatlinburg. This property is close to everything we love to do. We go hiking, horseback riding and shopping. We also visit the aquarium downtown and drive a short ways to Dollywood each time.

Amazing Chalet to Stay In!
My husband and I stayed in this chalet to celebrate our 1st anniversary and it was amazing!!! The owners checked in on us multiple times and made sure everything was perfect! Very clean and well kept. Great location too, just about a 5 minute drive to one end of the main strip in Gatlinburg. We would park and then walk the whole strip. I 100% recommend this property if you are heading to Gatlinburg!

Perfect getaway
This chalet is perfect for a family getaway. My husband and I brought our two boys for the weekend for their first trip to the mountains. The chalet is very clean and comfortable. Located just a few minutes from the strip and entrance to the national park. We did see a few bears so make sure you leave no food in your car and lock your car. We love this chalet and will definitely be staying again.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Janszen

Host profile image
We are a family of four from Cincinnati, Ohio. We fell in love with the Smokies many years ago and love going to the chalet any chance we can get. We love all the seasons the Smokies have to offer.

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy in Gatlinburg because we love to hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our chalet is just 4 minutes from the National Park/ downtown Gatlinburg. Our kids each took their first hike in the Smokies when they were just 2 months old. Gatlinburg is such a family place and we have enjoyed numerous vacations with our children.

What makes this property unique

We are close to everything!!
