About this property

This charming mountain cabin tucked cozily away high atop Ski Mountain is the perfect Smoky Mountain getaway location! Our guests will enjoy the privacy of being on the border of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park! This large, one bedroom cabin, exclusively for a couple, is located less than 1 mile from Ober Mountain Ski Resort 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 panoramic seasonal views and to have a front row seat as the seasons unfold in the Smokies! Cherished memories are sure to be made in this romantic retreat from your everyday world as you enjoy the views complete with the Ober Mountain Aerial Tram periodically passing by in the distance.

From the moment you arrive at this charming cabin, 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 Oct-March) on the leather sofa or comfy recliner and enjoy a DVD on the Blue-ray player from our collection, a movie via Netflix, or your favorite TV show on the 50 inch flat screen TV. The main level also features a game room with a full size pool table and game table. Games, playing cards and puzzles are provided for your convenience. Relax and enjoy the beautiful views as you sit out on the upper deck from the rocking chairs or the porch swing.

The lower level provides a romantic setting for two: Watch your favorite movies from the comfortable king size log canopy bed on the 40 inch flat screen TV above a second cozy gas fireplace (operational Oct-March). A private area with a large Jacuzzi tub is just off the bedroom, as well as a large master bath with an over sized shower. The covered lower deck off the bedroom area provides our guests a private area in which to relax in the large 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 cabin. 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 and Amusement Park. 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.

A Perfect Experience

Our stay at Smoky Mountain High Chalet far exceeded our expectations. From the time we booked until the time we checked out, Paula made sure we were cared for as welcome guests. The chalet was everything we hoped for and more. It’s more spacious than it looks in the photos; the porches are enormous. We spent many of our waking hours outdoors, enjoying the hot tub and playing dominoes on the porch. Inside, the bed is amazingly comfortable and everything is spotless! We stayed for only three days while en route to an event in Ohio, and we wished we could have stayed for the whole week. While we were in the area, we dined at The Peddler, we drove around Great Smoky Mountain NP, and we were able to completely avoid The Strip in Gatlinburg. Everything was nearby, but since we didn’t want the tourist experience, we were able to completely avoid it. We’re definitely planning to return the next time we need to escape our hectic schedule at home.

Brief getaway

We love the property. Paula and Keith and great hosts. Very responsive. The chalet is great. It has all the extras that you need. It is remote and yet close enough to Gatlinburg to go shopping and dining if that is what you want. We love the property.

About the host

Hosted by Keith and Paula Henson

After growing up in the Spartanburg/Greenville area of SC, I married my high school sweetheart and moved to Tennessee. My husband began his career as an electrical engineer and I as an elementary school teacher. We raised our three children (who are all University of Tennessee graduates) and are now enjoying our new role as grandparents! As a retired 1st grade teacher, I was missing the contact I once had with so many wonderful families who touched my life over the years. Our rental chalets have become my new "classroom" and have not only provided me with a new creative outlet, but also with the opportunity to "cross paths" with so many wonderful guests from all over the country and beyond!

Why they chose this property

We have lived in the shadows of the beautiful Smoky Mountains for many years but only recently decided to make Gatlinburg our “home away from home” and purchased two lovely chalets near the summit of Ski Mountain. We discovered that Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park have so much to offer our family. If it was peace and quiet surrounded by the beauty and wildlife of the park, hiking the many beautiful trails in the park, the excitement of shopping and sightseeing in the unique little town of Gatlinburg, or perhaps the thrill of the Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort and Amusement Park we were looking for we found it here. Gatlinburg has much to offer everyone in our family!

What makes this property unique

We quickly decided that the Chalet Village community on Ski Mountain was the place for us with its unique Bavarian flair and quaint chalets scattered across the mountainside! Of even greater importance was the close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our front door is located less than twenty steps from the park boundary and is within walking distance to one of the many beautiful trails open to visitors of the park. We immediately fell in love with the beautiful views especially when the Ober Gatlinburg tram passed by with screams of excitement as passengers topped the highest tower! In the other direction through the national park forest we can view the three distinct towering peaks of Mt. LeConte! We truly have a panoramic view! We enjoy the abundance of wildlife that is literally in our backyard and often delight in seeing mother bear and cubs passing through on their daily rounds to and from the park. There was never a doubt in our minds that this was the perfect getaway location! We also take pride in knowing that our guests receive the ultimate in hospitality! We personally prepare for our guests' arrival and add all of the personal touches to make it a special experience and one that will provide lasting memories!
