The Hilltop Chalet : Location, Views, Hot tub, Fire Pit, Game Room!

*** THIS CABIN IS 2 MINUTES DRIVE FROM OBER SKI RESORT ***

Welcome to your Mountain Home - The Hilltop Chalet!. An authentic log cabin secluded in the forest and in the heart of Chalet Village, Gatlinburg.

THE SPACE
4 miles to the Great Smoky Mountain park entrance and 3 miles to Gatlinburg downtown, the location is unbeatable with hiking, skiing at Ober, white water rafting, restaurants and shopping and more!

Be immersed with privacy, nature and absolutely wonderful feeling of being in a cabin perched on a hill.

THE INTERIOR SPACE
The Hilltop Chalet is an authentic log cabin built in 1970. It is a huge (over 3000+ square feet) cabin but feels surprisingly cozy. It has an old world charm to it, if you are expecting a perfect modern home with newer finishes, it might not be the home for you. If you are looking for a rustic cabin in the woods, this is the one cabin for you!

OUTSIDE
The yard area has a stunning firepit to relax and make smores with the family. There is also a hot tub to relax at the end of a tiring day.

PETS
Our home is pet friendly! We kindly request a $100 flat fee for additional cleaning. Two dogs max please. If you bring your dog, we request that you supervise them while outside - our home is in a forest and there is wildlife around.

DRIVE to the CABIN
The drive to the cabin is breathtaking, you will drive thru' windy roads with views of the Great Smoky Mountains. Please drive with caution.

DRIVEWAY
We are perched on hill so the driveway is a bit steep, with a couple of tries you will get the hang of it

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
You'll be in the mountains and so nature-related elements are inevitable like weather and wildlife. You may lose power if there is a snowstorm/fallen trees, etc. and might see bears from time to time. Please do follow all the safety protocols.

Travel insurance is highly recommended to help cover you for situations such as unforeseen cancelations, weather related issues, etc.

For liability and warranty reasons, please do not undertake any repairs if you run into any issues. Instead, please contact us and we are happy to send maintenance at your convenience.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very roomy on the second and third level. Be advised you have to go up stairs to get to the main level. The cabin was clean and accurately described on the listing! The view going up to the cabin is spectacular!! Don’t really have a view at the cabin but it’s very peaceful! The host made sure that all the essentials were there! The only thing was the driveway! It is pretty steep but by the end of our trip, it didn’t faze any of us! Overall a great stay! We are missing it already! I highly recommend the Pirate dinner show if you have kids! We did it our last night out and it was the perfect ending to our trip!

Great overall experience. Location of cabin was great...close to Gatlinburg and Smokies. We were a party of 11. Cabin had plenty of space and amenities to keep different age groups entertained. Plenty of sleeping accommodations and bathrooms had all necessities. Kitchen was well stocked. The firepit and hot tub were highlights for our group. There were bears around the cabin and firepit but we followed bear safety tips and had no issues. Communication with host was very personalized and attentive. Would recommend, especially if looking for rustic feel.

Perfect Family Getaway

We had a fantastic stay at this charming chalet in Gatlinburg. Our family, coming from Missouri and Virginia, found it to be the ideal spot for a much-needed reunion. The chalet was clean, well-stocked, and comfortably accommodated all us. The location was perfect – secluded enough to offer peace and tranquility, yet close enough to Gatlinburg’s attractions and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciated their attention to detail and warm hospitality. We would highly recommend this chalet to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic, and enjoyable getaway. Our family made wonderful memories here and we can't wait to return!

Amazing!!

The management of the property is amazing! They were very quick to communicate before, during and after our trip. Our family of 6 had a blast at the cabin as there was lots to keep the kids busy from hot tubs to games and even a cute and comfy movie area. It was also in a convenient location so getting out was also easy and Ober mountain was just a short drive up the mountain. We highly recommend this property!

Great Cabin

Our family stayed here to celebrate our dad's 80th birthday. We had plenty of room for the 8 of us and the kitchen had everything we needed. There are 3 levels of stairs, so make sure everyone can manage them (our dad was fine!). The bathrooms could be updated, but were fine and clean. THE BEARS! We were all excited to see bears each day on our stay. Make sure to keep your car locked and empty!

Great Easter in the Mountains

The property was wonderful and had room for the full family. There was even a extremely clean pack and play for my youngest. As others allude, the drive is rough the first time especially after driving all day but we got the hang of it and after doing it in the rain and fog we were experts. The cabin is well stocked and clean. The only issue we had was it was a bit dusty and we had a couple of asthmatic kids. Turning off the heat and opening the windows to the fresh air helped so I am glad the weather improved. We had a great family Easter! Thank you!

My boys and I loved the amenities and location of the house (highly recommend AWD or 4WD). I was thrilled to be able to have our dog with us. The owner has added a theater area which was a great addition. The owner was very communicative and check-in/check-out was a breeze.
