Neighborhood & additional information:
The cabin is in the premier community of Chalet Village, Gatlinburg, Tennessee and our property is adjacent to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The views from cabin of the Great Smoky Mountains are breathtaking and we are only 2.5 miles from downtown Gatlinburg and the entrance to the Smoky Mountains National Park!

Our close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park means there is lots of wildlife in our area - black bears, deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, coyotes, fox, and more! Black bears visit the cabin often in Spring, Summer and Fall. You may get lucky and catch a glimpse of one of these residents while enjoying the view from the deck. We also contract regular monthly pest services which treat for all pests from multiple types of bugs, mice, etc. Despite our regular treatments, given the proximity of the cabin to the park, it is possible these pests can temporarily enter the cabin. We immediately respond and treat if anything comes up and have found it is rare to come across anything like this.

When you've had enough relaxation, look forward to endless entertainment in the surrounding area; you'll be in the perfect spot to explore through winding hiking trails and world-class ski slopes in the Great Smoky Mountains. Other local attractions can be found in downtown Gatlinburg, including delectable restaurants, intriguing shops, the always-entertaining alpine slides, and even a moonshine distillery! During your time here, make sure to visit the Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park & Ski Area, which offers terrific skiing in the colder months, a ski mountain coaster, an aerial tramway, and many other thrilling attractions!

The cabin is located on a mountain road. We strongly recommend trip insurance, especially during the winter since there are no refunds for snow and ice. In difficult winter or storm related weather situations there can be delays in cleaning and check-in pending road conditions which can be outside of our control.

True to the Bearadise name! Fantastic cabin.

The place is very clean, the beds are comfy, the kitchen is fully stocked, and the VIBE is amazing. Sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and wave at the tram riders as they float by in front of you. We had 9 individual bears visit frequently in the yard and the porches. Highly recommend.

A week with the bears

My family and I had a great week. We saw a total of ten bears in five days. We found it very relaxing to sit on the back deck and wave back to the folks riding the Ober. The view of Gatlinburg was awesome and at night the lights in the valley and quietness of the towering mountains provide an atmosphere nothing short of a spiritual experience. Our host had everything laid out nicely and very well organized. I found the property to be exactly what was represented on line based on information provided. My family will definitely be returning. Thanks for a great week.

Amazing views

The views were unbeatable and we had everything we needed during the stay. The hills as stated are very steep but after a few trips up and down not so bad. The firepit and gathering spots were beautiful but with all the bear activity we didn’t take the children off the decks lol. We had multiple sightings daily on the property beneath us and in the driveway but no issues and welcomed the experience! We enjoyed the cabin and family time!

Loved the view

We rented this cabin for Easter. The view is amazing and we saw a mama bear and her three cubs! The cabin is very cozy and fit our family of 8 very comfortably. The owner was in contact and very informative. Definitely use the owners directions and not your GPS your very close to Ober and the road can be a bit stressful if you don’t. We would definitely rent this cabin again

Great mountain place

The checkin process was very easy and we could have checked in earlier, which was nice to know. Chris reached out to us to see if we needed anything, but we were good. I contacted Chris before we left so I had our questions answered earlier. There was an awesome view from the cabin and we saw bears there, even in the yard. We had fun watching the cubs play. I would highly recommend staying at this place.

Why they chose this property

Chalet Village is the premier community in Gatlinburg! The community sits on the mountain in between Gatlinburg, Smoky Mountains National Park and the iconic Mt LeConte with views of both the town and mountains as you drive through the community. The biggest benefit of this community is that is has three HOA community pools, two tennis courts, a gym, and a community market. It is just minutes to the entrance to the National Park, downtown Gatlinburg and provides the perfect Smoky Mountain setting with a blend of mountain privacy and community amenities. This really is the ideal place to spend your time in the Smokies.

This property has everything you are looking for in the Smoky Mountains! Stunning view of downtown Gatlinburg, Ober Gatlinburg Gondola literally overhead, unobstructed view of the mountains, private terraced backyard with firepit, dining table, rockers, decks with hot tub, dining table and rocking chairs!

The entrance to the Smoky Mountain National Park is only 2.5 miles down the hill and allows you to jump right in the park without the traffic of Gatlinburg! Here you will find all the hiking and tourism you could possibly desire!

We designed the cabin so that you can spend your whole vacation here and never leave! There are two recreation spaces in the cabin filled with things to do!
