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.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Alexandra! We're thrilled to hear you had a 5-star stay! We’d love to host you again for another great getaway! Cheers, Chris and Morgan
This was perfect for our extended family vacation- enough space for four families and the cabin was very well equipped. The hosts were excellent with communication and responsiveness to questions. It was a fantastic stay!
This was bearadise! We saw 7 bears cross the property, 2 Mama bears and 5 cubs, at different times. We were able to get videos of cu s climbing trees and a healthy mom. The place was hospitable and well-equipped for everyone's enjoyment, inside and out. The view was stunning! We were all grateful that we had such a nice place to stay!

Wow—what an incredible experience! We’re thrilled to hear the cabin was comfortable, well-equipped, and that you enjoyed both the inside and the stunning views outside, Robin. Thank you for the kind words—we’re so grateful you chose to stay with us and would love to welcome you back anytime! Cheers, Chris and Morgan
The property was in great condition and in a great location! The owners were very responsive and easy to work with! We saw 6 bears (4 on the property) which really added to our overall experience! I would definitely recommend staying here again!
What a fantastic property! The cabin was very clean, and the hosts are great. There was plenty of space for the whole family, ample linens, and a nice assortment of cooking utensils if you want to cook. Just before arrival, a bear helped itself to some leftovers at the grill. The hosts quickly fixed the problem, preemptively notifying us. The brand new grill was great. Given the time of year, the bears in the area were VERY active, with daily bear sightings. It is recommended to keep small children under close supervision, as the bears are very quiet and sneaky. Using Ski Mountain road up the mountain is much easier than the GPS directions, as the host pointed out. This was very helpful. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stay with a great view of the valley, plenty of space for the family, and still close to the town.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you and your family enjoyed the cabin, the space, and the new grill. We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication and are glad the alternate directions were helpful.
You’re absolutely right about the bears—while they make for exciting sightings, we always recommend keeping a close eye on little ones and securing all food to avoid any surprise visits.
We’re so glad you had a memorable stay and that you’d recommend the property. We’d love to welcome you back for another mountain getaway anytime! Cheers, Chris and Morgan
We had a wonderful weeklong stay. The property was comfortable and had beautiful views! The owners were very responsive and were able to immediately help us with a little issue we had. We would stay here again and absolutely recommend to others.
Pictures makes it look larger than it is and the steps are very steep for little ones and seniors. Great location and very nice hosts. Will stay again!

We can't wait to host you again and so happy you enjoy the location and our hosting! We do the very best we can to show the space accurately by having newly, professionally shot, photos and being detailed in the cabin description including square footage. Hope to see you again soon!
The property was clean and provided everything we needed for our trip to be a success. The host was extremely accommodating and we will definitely be back. The views were amazing and I couldn’t be happier.
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.
Everything we needed for a great family vacation. We saw bears every day so do take all precautions with securing your garbage and personal effects. Truly a lovely and comfortable cabin. Very close to ober gatlinburg which was great fun for all. Easy to downtown and convenient access to national park and bypass to pigeon forge attractions.
If you like mountains-this property is a must. Located on Ober Mountain! The views were incredible! We were lucky to see a mama-bear and 4 cubs the first day we came!
The owner Chris was very responsive to the questions we had which I appreciated!
Family and I stayed for week getaway. It was a great place to hang out, lots of activities for this kids. Great view of mountains and Gatlinburg day and night. Every got to watch a small black bear walk by a few times. Just sniffing around and strolling through the woods. They don't call it Bearadise for nothing!

Hi Eric,
Thank you for sharing your fantastic week getaway experience at Bearadise! It's wonderful to hear that your family enjoyed the activities, and breathtaking mountain views, and even had the chance to witness a small black bear roaming around. We would be more than happy to host you again if you ever find yourself visiting the Smokies again! Cheers, Morgan and Chris
Great cabin, close to downtown Gatlinburg. Saw many bear but they left us alone, even when we were grilling. Could use new beds and pillows. Every time someone rolled over, the beds would squeak loudly. Other than that, we had everything we needed for a great weekend!

We are thrilled you loved the location and found the cabin great. It’s so neat to see the bears when you get a chance. It does not happen often so you got lucky. Thanks for the feedback on the beds and pillows, we just ordered new pillows and will replace them now. Also, we will check the mattresses and bed springs on our next trip up to fix or replace any that need it. Cheers!

This really is the ideal place to spend your time in the Smokies.
