Perfect quiet get away

Close enough to the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg to pop down the mountain and get your fill. Then head back up to the quaint mountain chalet for some quiet time in the hot tub overlooking the mountains.

Perfect getaway!

We stayed at the chalet for our 25th wedding anniversary and it was perfect! The chalet was VERY clean, comfortable, and inviting. The hosts added many special touches to make our stay enjoyable. We took in the gorgeous mountain views from the hot tub and had our breakfast on the deck while watching a family of deer walk along the driveway. The location was peaceful and quiet, but only a 20 minute scenic drive to downtown Gatlinburg. Paula, our host, checked in with us after our arrival and again before we left, just to be sure that everything was going well. We will definitely stay here again... but this time we are going to add another day to our trip to give us more time to relax and enjoy this wonderful property!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Henson

Host profile image
After growing up in the Spartanburg/Greenville area of SC, I married my high school sweetheart and moved to Tennessee. My husband began his career as an electrical engineer and I as an elementary school teacher. We raised our three children (who are all University of Tennessee graduates) and are now enjoying our new role as grandparents! As a retired 1st grade teacher, I was missing the contact I once had with so many wonderful families who touched my life over the years. Our rental chalets have become my new "classroom" and have not only provided me with a new creative outlet, but also with the opportunity to "cross paths" with so many wonderful guests from all over the country and beyond!

Why they chose this property

We have lived in the shadows of the beautiful Smoky Mountains for many years but only recently decided to make Gatlinburg our “home away from home” and purchased two lovely chalets near the summit of Ski Mountain. We discovered that Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park have so much to offer our family. If it was peace and quiet surrounded by the beauty and wildlife of the park, hiking the many beautiful trails in the park, the excitement of shopping and sightseeing in the unique little town of Gatlinburg, or perhaps the thrill of the Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort and Amusement Park we were looking for we found it here. Gatlinburg has much to offer everyone in our family!

What makes this property unique

We quickly decided that the Chalet Village community on Ski Mountain was the place for us with its unique Bavarian flair and quaint chalets scattered across the mountainside! Of even greater importance was the close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our front door is located less than twenty steps from the park boundary and is within walking distance to one of the many beautiful trails open to visitors of the park. We immediately fell in love with the beautiful views especially when the Ober Gatlinburg tram passed by with screams of excitement as passengers topped the highest tower! In the other direction through the national park forest we can view the three distinct towering peaks of Mt. LeConte! We truly have a panoramic view! We enjoy the abundance of wildlife that is literally in our backyard and often delight in seeing mother bear and cubs passing through on their daily rounds to and from the park. There was never a doubt in our minds that this was the perfect getaway location! We also take pride in knowing that our guests receive the ultimate in hospitality! We personally prepare for our guests' arrival and add all of the personal touches to make it a special experience and one that will provide cherished lasting memories!
