Private and peaceful, this enchanting 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom chalet comfortably sleeps 8: 2 KING beds {primary bedroom has plush pillow-top mattress}, 2 bunk/twin beds, and a queen-size sofa bed {mattress pad and foam pad provided} in the living room. Keeping true to its vintage architectural heritage, it provides everything on ONE level with original hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, and exposed beams. The dining table comes with a leaf for expanded seating capacity {2 additional chairs located in bedrooms}. There is a folding card table and benches for even more seating. Also, abundant furniture is staged throughout the 3 decks to enjoy outdoor meals, coffee, and/or cocktails "in the woods". Local grocery and restaurant delivery services are available to all of our valued guests.
The magical Gatlinburg area offers breathtaking natural beauty and endless outdoor adventures. Exploring nearby hiking trails is a particularly delightful escape for many travelers to the Smokies. Our quaint retreat is conveniently nestled in the heart of Gatlinburg near the Gatlinburg Convention Center, the Ober Gatlinburg ski slopes, Dollywood, etc. It is within walking distance to Gatlinburg's famous downtown "strip" with Ripley's Aquarium, Anakeesta, Space Needle, SkyLift Park, popular shops, delicious restaurants, moonshine tasting bars, and various entertainment. There are also trolley stops a short stroll away on East Parkway/Highway 321 that will take you all over, including Rocky Top Sports World and Gatlinburg Community Center. The Center is open year-round and offers many fun, affordable recreation options. This includes a large/heated/indoor swimming pool that is available from June to September: https://www.facebook.com/pg/GatlinburgCommunityCenter/posts/?ref=page_internal {copy/paste link}. Many guests simply park at the post office and grab a free trolley from there for wherever they want to go.^ Be aware that Gatlinburg is very strict about DUI's and there is NO Uber or Lyft service. The trolley service throughout Gatlinburg is highly advised for all guests wishing to go downtown for moonshine tasting or cocktails and prefer not to walk there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*IMPORTANT: In an effort to reduce the overwhelming inquiries we receive about availability, rates, holiday premiums, minimum nights required during certain holidays, and location, PLEASE check here {everything posted IS correct and current} and read ALL of the posted details PRIOR to contacting us. We are always happy to promptly answer any other questions. Or, please let us know if/when you are ready to book a reservation. We will then send you an itemized Invoice to review that reflects exactly what is posted here. {Online booking is not yet available}. Due to time constraints, frivolous inquiries ~ generic, those with no message, those that request information already posted, those that request a "quote"/"total"/"final price" {just multiply the number of nights by the posted rate, add the posted tax, add the posted cleaning charge, add the posted REFUNDABLE damage deposit, and add any applicable holiday premium/pet fee}, and those that request a rate reduction are deleted. As stated above, all posted reservation costs are clearly detailed on an Invoice for guests to review PRIOR to paying AFTER they advise us that they are ready to book. Thank you!
**HOLIDAY PREMIUMS: We add $50 {$100 if BOTH Christmas Eve or Day and New Year's Eve or Day are included} to EACH night of the reservation if it includes, INCLUDING check-out day, ANY Federal {please go to https://www.archives.gov/news/federal-holidays if not sure what they are} or Popular holiday. Popular holidays include Valentine's Day {$100 if BOTH Valentine's Day and President's Day are included}, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's/Father's Day, Halloween, etc. Again, this is for "EACH night of the reservation", NOT just the holidays. The above Holiday Premiums also apply if the reservation is part of a HOLIDAY WEEKEND whether the actual holiday is included or not. Holiday Premiums are non-negotiable.
***PLEASE NOTE: There is a 4 NIGHT MINIMUM if EASTER, MEMORIAL DAY, JULY 4TH, LABOR DAY, COLUMBUS DAY, or VETERANS DAY is included, even on check-out day. There is a 6 NIGHT MINIMUM if THANKSGIVING is included, even on check-out day, and there is a 6 NIGHT MINIMUM from DECEMBER 23RD through JANUARY 1ST. Minimum nights are also non-negotiable.
BOOKING FEES: Unlike large online vacation rental sites, we do not charge any "Booking Fee" or "Service Fee" when booking directly through us with ZellePay. There is no "middle man" that requires a ridiculous commission! {Please see below for additional details}.
CLEANING CHARGE: There is a standard departure Cleaning Charge of $175 {recently increased in order to retain 5⭐️ rated cleaners} added to each reservation for this 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom property. ALL vacation rentals have a cleaning fee in addition to their posted rates.
PET FEE: Dogs Only Allowed {MUST Be Completely House-Broken, Totally Flea-Free, Very Well-Behaved, & Crated When Left Alone If Necessary} ~ Non-Refundable Flat $50 Fee Per Dog. There is No Limit on the Amount of Dogs, the Size of Dogs, the Weight of Dogs, or the Breed of Dogs. Please Disclose if You Will Have a Dog{s} When You Submit Your Initial Inquiry. An Additional $50 Fee Will Apply if the Rental Agreement Needs to be Re-Drafted to Include Any Dogs After the Booking has been Made.
TAX: 14% {Rentals that do not charge this mandatory city/county/state total tax are illegal and NOT licensed or regulated}.
REFUNDABLE DAMAGE DEPOSIT: 25% of the base rental amount or $250, whichever is greater {double for foreign guests and for those under the age of 25}. This is standard policy of virtually all PayPal and ZellePay merchants since, as further explained below, we do not obtain our guests' confidential credit card information as collateral.
DEPOSITS: To keep our rates competitive, we must keep our administrative costs low. Therefore, the full rental amount is due to confirm a reservation.
PAYMENT OPTIONS: Due to popular demand, we accept 2 convenient payment options ~ all major Credit Cards via PayPal {3% to guest but still MUCH cheaper than the 13% minimum vacation rental platforms charge} and ZellePay {FREE to guest}. Unlike vacation rental platforms and management companies, we {merchant} never obtain the guest's credit card OR bank account information so cannot charge any booking/service fees and have unlimited access to make unauthorized charges to their account. Additionally, all merchants are thoroughly and regularly vetted for ultimate safety/security. Please Note: Due to rampant credit card fraud, ZellePay is the only payment option offered for reservations 5 days or less away. Sorry ~ no exceptions.
DISCOUNTS: Our best rates are those posted and are FIRM. As a 5⭐️ rated and fully-licensed property, we do not offer any "last minute" deals, specials, etc. However, we do not charge more for weekends like most vacation rentals and hotels do! All rate reduction requests are automatically considered generic. Such inquiries are reported as SPAM, blocked from the system, and deleted. Accordingly, we kindly ask all travelers to please respect our very competitive posted rates.
^LOCATION: This chalet is located on West Loop Road. For obvious privacy/security/safety reasons, we never disclose the street number to strangers over the Internet. It is, of course, specified on the rental agreement. Please Google or MapQuest distances to points of personal interest {downtown strip, restaurants, shops, attractions, buildings, hiking trails, ski slopes, etc.} from the property's road. We are just not able to provide these types of concierge services, due to the high volume of requests we receive daily from potential guests. We appreciate your understanding. Please note that although the chalet is situated part way up a mountain, it is within Gatlinburg city limits so its PAVED roads get plowed on a regular basis when it snows! Sorry, EV charging is not permitted at this property. Please look up closest locations.
We have an additional dog-friendly 3 bedroom cabin in Gatlinburg that sleeps 8 {3 queen beds & a queen-size sleeper sofa}. It is located in the popular Arts & Crafts community. Also, it is NOT on a mountain so is easily accessible by any type of vehicle year-round. Please visit its Web site for complete property details: GatlinburgCabinRetreat.com
OCCUPANCY: The non-negotiable posted 8 person maximum that this property sleeps/allows {per fire code} obviously includes children of ALL ages. If your group will exceed this limit, you will need to book a different property or book an additional property. Please be aware that there are, of course, exterior cameras surrounding the property that document the ingress/egress of all occupants/pets. The violation of any rule will result in immediate eviction and/or forfeiture of all monies paid, including damage deposit. {An extra charge per person will apply if the total amount of persons stated on the original inquiry form is increased after the reservation has been accepted and paid}. Thank you for your understanding and compliance.
LICENSING: We are fully-licensed {current city/county/state license/permit numbers available upon request} and regulated by the State of Tennessee. Additionally, we are fully-insured and inspected annually by the Gatlinburg Fire Department. Always confirm that whatever property you want to rent is legal and properly licensed BEFORE you pay anything. This is for your own protection and will assure that you have a great, hassle-free, and SAFE vacation.
GUEST COMMENTS: Negative reviews cannot be deleted or edited. Accordingly, we certify that everything posted here is 100% authentic. Please excuse any typos, etc. Any lengthy gaps between reviews are because the property was owner-occupied, temporarily unlisted for repairs/maintenance/improvements, the guests just did not get a chance to return the Feedback form before the short cut-off date, or the property was booked on another platform that does not provide a review transfer feature. Please note that we are award-winning {"SuperHost"} owners, due to our consistent 5⭐️ property reviews. It matters; never settle.
RENTAL AGREEMENT: Must be properly signed by the primary guest only and E-mailed back within 48-hours of being sent, or reservation will not be honored and no refund will be provided except damage deposit, immediately upon request. The primary/paying/non third-party guest who signs the rental agreement {current physical address required for it} must be at least 25 years of age {proof required via valid/current government-issued photo ID; passport/visa for foreign guests} unless posted damage deposit paid or reservation will not be honored and no refund will be provided except damage deposit, immediately upon request. Please be aware that we reserve the right to decline travelers with poor language, communication, and/or reading skills for obvious reasons.
~ Always Rent OWNER-DIRECT if you desire prompt and excellent service that a management company is rarely able and/or willing to provide. Also, this way you will avoid paying the huge "Service Fee", etc., that large vacation rental sites charge, while using unsafe/third-party/overseas payment system software {i.e., Yapstone's "RentPayment"} that gets hacked. Please Google it for current class-action lawsuit details. Additionally, be aware that management companies are able to manipulate reviews on their sites by posting fraudulent ones and only the good ones {if any} from guests. ~
