THE CHALET
Welcome to the BlackBeary Chalet! A place of blackberries, and black bears ! A wonderful place of peace and relaxation tucked away high up on nearly 30 acres of mountain paradise, surrounded by nature, birds, and wildlife. A place for awesome mountain vistas. A place to get away from it all! (Note : The BlackBeary Chalet has a very steep but doable concrete driveway. )

Breathe deeply of the pure mountain air, then open the door by the cute, locally handcrafted bear carving and step inside the great room with its soaring cathedral ceilings, a real wood burning fireplace, plenty of comfy seating. and a 85 inch smart TV! (just bring your own Firestick or streaming log-in.) It's the perfect place to relax and re-connect!
Discover a fully stocked kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. It is FULLY equipped, (outfitted by a stay at home mom!) and stocked with all the necessities for making anything from a quick snack, to a full gourmet meal, and includes both a Keurig coffee maker, and a 12 cup coffee maker, along with a toaster, crock pot, electric skillet, waffle maker, blender and more.

A master bedroom, which includes a walk in, tiled shower and a jetted tub. You will also find a large walk-in closet in this room. On the main level
is a second, queen bedroom , a full hallway bathroom, and a hallway closet with some cleaning supplies, should you desire to use them. Staying for a Flexcation? There is a table and chair, with a high speed internet router that you can directly connect your computer to. No worries about wifi! (Although the wifi is great to!)

Downstairs, you will find pine wood walls, a bedroom with 2 queen bunk beds with a private, full bathroom. You will find another cozy bedroom with handcrafted log furniture, a common area bathroom, along with the large game room, equipped with a slate top pool table, with a ping pong top for another game option, Shuffle board, a 60 game barrel arcade, Big Buck Hunter Pro arcade, board games and children's books in the closet.

Behind the Chalet, you will have a fire ring and seating tucked up against the mountain, and shaded by trees where you can relax by the fire, and perhaps enjoy some S'mores! Or just sit and soak in the mountain ambience as you re-connect.
THE TRAIL
Ready for an adventure? Take an adventurous hike on our private mountain trail! Our trail is about 1.75 miles long, but extremely rugged and steep, and largely unimproved. It is a true Tennessee mountain wilderness experience! (We recommend only experienced hikers tackle it.) THE TRAIL IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN.

THE AREA
The BlackBeary Chalet is nestled all by itself on 30 acres, surrounded by mountains and nature. But it is still only a short drive to all the attractions nearby. It is less than 15 minutes drive to the Metcalf Bottoms entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and the Foothills Parkway, and approximately 30 minutes to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, depending on destination and traffic.

THE ADVANTAGES
The BlackBeary Chalet is privately owned and operated. In the unlikely event that issues should arise, you will be communicating directly with the owner, who has the authority to make things happen! We commit to doing everything in our power to resolve issues as soon as possible for the Smokies! Ensuring an enjoyable stay for our guests is our highest priority!

ONE MORE THING.... DEFINITELY READ THIS!
The serenity of this location, and its awesome mountain views, comes at the price of a long and very steep, but manageable, concreted driveway. (Consider it part of the adventure!) We Do Not allow Loaded maxivans or mini buses up this driveway- they often fail to make it up the drive, if arriving in a maxi van there is a parking spot at the bottom to lighten your load by unloading luggage and making a second trip down. Please follow these precautions for your safety! ( most other vehicles are fine)
Renters will be required to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle for any stays from October through April. We also highly recommend trip insurance during these months, as the drive is impassable in snow or ice. If you have any question, feel free to contact your host.
Thank you!
