About this property

Cliffside Hideaway (Formerly Happy Bear Chalet)

CLIFFSIDE HIDEAWAY (formerly known as Happy Bear Chalet) is a newer property that is family-oriented, comfortable, relaxing, fun, cozy, romantic, luxurious, WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY. It is ideally located for whatever adventure guests wish to undertake and enjoy! This is a NO SMOKING PROPERTY!!!!!

The SHORT, 1.3 MILE DRIVE up the mountain from the Gatlinburg Parkway to the property takes less than 5 minutes! The start of Downtown Gatlinburg is less than 2 miles away and Pigeon Forge is about a 5 mile drive.
Unlike many mountain properties that feel as if they are "on top of each other", Cliffside Hideaway is situated on over a half acre! The cabin can accommodate 1 – 8 guests. GUESTS ARE REQUIRED TO TRUTHFULLY STATE THE EXACT NUMBER OF PERSONS THAT WILL BE STAYING AT THE PROPERTY WHEN MAKING A RESERVATION!

Hand-scraped, hardwood floors and Pine ceilings and walls throughout the cabin set the tone at this relaxing retreat. Guests can show off their culinary skills in a well-equipped kitchen with all stainless steel appliance including a French-door refrigerator (with filtered water on the door and an ice maker), microwave, smooth-top range, dishwasher, pantry and a "coffee alcove". The granite counter tops and hand-glazed cabins complete the ensemble and invite any gourmet to create to his or her heart’s content. Any ""grill master" will also appreciate the main level Gas Grill where he or she can prepare steaks, burgers, chicken and more! There is also a picnic table for outdoor eating that is located on the covered, rear porch that is right off the kitchen and indoor dining areas.

There are NO STAIRS, STEPS or OBSTACLES from the driveway into the main level of the cabin where guests will find an inviting great room with a Gas Fireplace (available only from late Fall through Winter), a deluxe kitchen, dining area, two comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms and rear covered porch.

Cliffside Hideaway is WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY. The private, King Suite on the main level features wide doors and a bath with a 5' radius turn-around. This private bath also has a 4' x 4' shower with a wide shower door, a hand-held shower head, a portable shower seat and grab bars. The toilet is comfort-height and it too has a grab bar to assist those with special needs. The vanity is not ADA, but instead it is of a standard design. The other bedroom on the main level has a queen bed. The other bath has a tub/shower combo.

There are two powered-reclining love seats in the great room plus a manual-recliner.

The lower level features a Game Room where kids of all ages can enjoy a plethora of Board Games, Foosball or try their shills at the Shuffleboard Table! There is also a comfortable sectional sofa with two built-in recliners in the Game Room where guests can relax while watching a 65" 4-k TV or play one of more of over 120 video games on the Atari Flashback 8 Gold HD game system. The lower level also has a bathroom with a 4' x 4' shower, a laundry area (with full-size, washer & dryer) and a 24' x 12' bedroom with TWO Queen beds.

The pull of the mountains seem to invite guests to take in and enjoy the outdoors! Guests have two large, 20' x 10' covered rear porches where they can relax outside. One porch is located on the main level and the other on the lower level. They can also venture down to the patio level and enjoy the 3-4 person hot tub!

Guest can stay connected to the outside world with high-speed internet via a robust, wireless Gigabit router that supports multiple devices, and via cable TV through Charter Spectrum.
All guests at Cliffside Hideaway have FREE ACCESS to all three Chalet Village Owners Clubs, and FREE USE of their swimming pools, tennis courts, exercise equipment and other facilities during summer months!
NOTE: Clubhouses are ONLY OPEN DURING THE SUMMER. Clubhouses will open May 22, 2021, limit occupancy to 50%, and will keep exercise and game rooms closed until further notice due to Covid-19.

Nice and Captivating Cabin
The roadway to the cabin is a little challenging, but the cabin itself was beautiful clean, spacious and the views from the decks are awesome. Everything you would need for a mountain vacation was available. It was handicap accessible on the top level and my mother throughly enjoyed herself and didnt want to leave when it was time to checkout.

Great place for family getaway
Great location and very convenient to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. House had plenty of room for 2 adults and 4 kids (3 adult sized 13 yr olds and 1 11 yr old). House had room to spread out and relax between the 2 living areas and 2 deck areas. Check in / out process was very easy, and management was very responsive when we had an issue the Wi-Fi service and quickly corrected it. We really enjoyed staying here and would happily stay again.

Although it was a quick two day trip on a crowded holiday weekend, the cabin was one of the highlights of the trip. I highly recommend the cabin as it has great amenities.

Family or small group of friends cabin
One of the best places that I have stayed. The kids had their own bedroom, tv, bathroom, and games down stairs After a long drive, it was nice to come in, and have options to order food while the kids immediately found a lot of things to do. The cabin was clean, and nicely decorated with everything we needed. We definitely would come back.
