REST, RELAX & PLAY

We’re so excited to host you at Chalet Zermatt for an incredible Smoky Mountains getaway. Come enjoy a charming space to chill, connect, and give your brain a break. You will likely see the bears (more info below)! Ask us for any tips about the area.

GUEST ACCESS

Chalet Village is in the mountains, so expect to drive on a few narrow and steep roads on your way up to Chalet Zermatt. 4-wheel drive is needed in wintry conditions. Approaching from South Baden Dr is the easiest way to access the driveway/parking area for the chalet. Your GPS may take you to North Baden Dr, but go ahead and pass it and re-route to South Baden. You can park right in front of the cabin and enter on the lower level or the second level, up the stairs. Both doors have keyless access. As stated above, all guests must be able to walk up stairs.

Parking is free and in our private driveway. There is space for 5-6 vehicles. You will park directly in front of the cabin and walk up the stairs to enter your vacation home. Parking is tandem style, which means vehicles parked last in will need to move out to allow vehicles at the front of the parking area to exit (if parking the max number of vehicles).

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE

- Bears are very prevalent in this area, which is so close to the National Park! You will most likely see black bears on the property while staying at Chalet Zermatt. Please abide by the recommended safety precautions below:

• always lock the chalet
• do not ever approach or feed bears
• do not leave food or trash of any kind outdoors at any time
• always lock your cars, and have windows rolled up; the bears can and will open doors including your car door if unlocked (if you do not want a bear inside your vehicle, please be diligent about locking it AT ALL TIMES)
• do not leave any food or beverage items in your car
• you must put trash bags in bear-proof trash bin at the end of the driveway
• stay aware of your surroundings outdoors

- We do not accept cancellations and do not offer refunds due to weather and/or weather-related conditions. We recommend you purchase your own travel insurance. Per our listing, Chalet Village is in the mountains; 4-wheel drive is needed in wintry conditions. Travel at your own risk.

- We provide all towels and linens. For your convenience we supply you with a limited starter kit of toilet paper, bar soap, paper towel roll, trash bags, and dishwasher detergent or pods. This is so that you are all set when you arrive, but the supply won’t last the entire trip. We do not provide toiletries. We don't supply firewood.

The “Chalet Village Market" just a few minutes away should have many of the essentials that you may need.

- Due to the agreement with our cleaning service provider, we are not able to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs. You may check in as early as 4 pm and must check out by 10 am. Guests who are not out of the chalet by check-out time will incur a non-negotiable $100 per half-hour late checkout fee.

- As we are in the mountains, nature-related elements are inevitable like weather and wildlife. You may lose power if there is a snowstorm/fallen trees, etc. As mentioned, you are very likely to see bears on the property and possibly other wildlife.

- Chalet Zermatt is on a monthly program to prevent insects. However, please remember you are at a cabin in the woods/mountains. It is not possible to keep 100% of insects out all of the time. Please keep doors closed and locked to prevent insects and wildlife from getting in.

- No RV or Trailer parking.

- You must be 25 years old to book. No smoking. No parties. No pets. Please read entire House Rules.
Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 4 bathrooms.

Lots of Fun

This property delivered on everything it promised. Our extended family of 11 with kids from 5 to 19 had plenty to do with house games, nearby pool and exercise facilities. We spent lots of time on the outside decks reading, using the hot tub, talking and watching the wildlife that happened by. This included a bear and her cubs who wandered down the road periodically. The kitchen had everything we needed including a Kurig coffee maker to get everyone going in the morning. Downtown Gatlinburg which was a 10 minute drive down the mountain had plenty of entertainment for everyone and lots of good restaurants. Dollywood which was just rated the #1 amusement park in America along with the Dollywood Water Park are a short drive away. The house and the location in the mountains was a fun experience and a good alternative to the family beach vacations we have always done in the past.

We only stayed for 2 nights but it was perfect. Clean, comfortable and beautiful with plenty of room for all of us. The older (grown) kids liked the downstairs with the pool table, all the games and TV room. Would have loved to have stayed longer - brought food -and spent more time at the house - it was a beautiful area! Perfect Hosts as well! Thank you and hopefully we will make it back!

Relaxing & Enjoyable Stay

Our family had a wonderful stay at Chalet Zermatt! The cabin was cozy and well-equipped with super comfortable beds. The game room was a hit with our family, and we thoroughly enjoyed lounging on the master deck each morning with a cup of coffee enjoying the sounds of nature. One of the highlights of our stay was the unexpected encounter with a family of bears passing through. The owners were incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed for our comfortable stay. Thank you so much for your exceptional hospitality!

Perfect

The cabin was perfect, location was perfect, host communication was perfect. Kids left our car door unlocked, and within 30 minutes of being there and getting settled, bear cubs rummaged through our car. Our fault, but the kids loved seeing them and their little bear prints they left. If you are traveling during the winter, will definitely need 4 wheel drive. Already looking at dates to rebook in the summer!

Perfectly located near Gatlinburg 5-10mins driving distance to the attractions. Family loved seeing the bears visit our chalet. We stayed a total amount of f 7 days and we saw bears 5 out of 7days. The kitchen has everything you need to make any meal at home easy. We loved the lower level entrance which made unloading and loading easier. Everyone had their own bedroom and loved the private baths. Would definitely stay again !!
