Parkside Couple’s Getaway;Allergen-Free; Borders GSMNP;Seasonal Mtn views

Enjoy the beauty of all four seasons from this charming chalet tucked cozily away high atop Ski Mountain!! Our guests enjoy the privacy of being at the end of the lane that borders the Great Smoky Mountain National Park but yet is still in the city limits of Gatlinburg! This large, one bedroom mountain chalet, privately operated by the owners and exclusively designed for a couple, is located less than 1 mile from Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort and Amusement Park and approximately 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg . Being on the border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park allows visitors the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful seasonal mountain views and abundant wildlife (including black bears!) while having a front row seat as the seasons unfold in the Smokies! Cherished memories are sure to be made in this romantic retreat for two. Escape from your everyday world for the perfect change of pace and enjoy the gorgeous seasonal views complete with the Ober Gatlinburg Aerial Tram periodically passing by in the distance.

From the moment you arrive at this lovely chalet, a rustic, romantic atmosphere will surround you. Enjoy preparing meals in the fully equipped kitchen. The living area is a wonderful place to spend time as you snuggle up by the stone gas fireplace (operational October-March) on the leather sofa or comfy recliner and enjoy a DVD on the Blue-ray player from our collection or your favorite movies/TV show on the 55 inch flat screen TV. The main level also features a game room with a full size pool table. Games, playing cards and puzzles are provided for your convenience. Relax and enjoy the views and the sights and sounds of the forest as you unwind from the upper deck's log rocking chairs or the porch swing. You will have the feeling of being in a tree house as you enjoy this outdoor sanctuary from the upper porch!

The lower level provides a romantic setting for two: Watch your favorite movies from the comfortable king size log bed on the 50 inch flat screen TV above a second cozy gas fireplace (operational October-March). A private area with Jacuzzi tub is just off the bedroom, as well as a large master bath with an over sized shower. There is a lower deck off the bedroom area where you will enjoy spending time in the inviting hot tub while viewing the lights of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge by night and the aerial tram and beautiful mountain views by day.

You can plan a private cookout for two on the park-style charcoal grill located near the entry of the chalet and enjoy your meal on the porch surrounded by the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you choose to go out for dinner, you will find excellent dining choices just a few miles down the mountain in downtown Gatlinburg or at Ober Mountain Ski Resort. You may choose to drive a very short distance and park at Ober Mountain and ride the Aerial Tram down the mountain to dine or shop in the many unique shops downtown. As a member of Chalet Village Owner's Club please use our membership card provided for access to three club houses on the mountain, each with pools (seasonal), recreational areas and exercise equipment. This card also offers discounts at numerous attractions and restaurants in the Gatlinburg area. You are sure to find the ingredients for a perfect Smoky Mountain getaway at Bear Whisperer Chalet!
