About this property

Couples’ Mt Paradise; Allergen-Free;Borders GSMNP;Seasonal Views;Owner Operated

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. 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) and recreational areas.

If you are searching for a place to stay in Gatlinburg your search should end right here. Me and my girlfriend had a perfect trip thanks to Paula and Keith and I couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else when we come back. We don’t have enough kind words to share about this chalet!

Had a wonderful stay. Bears came right up to the door sniffing around. Closest bear encounter in our 3 trips. The only minor issue which is not there fault is, dont rent this if you’re remotely timid on narrow, steep, and I mean steep (40%) mountain roads. Take your time around curves, especially at night when you will be driving blind. Hug outside of turns.

Great place to relax!

The chalet really enhanced our trip to the Smoky Mountains. After hiking and exploring all day, it was wonderful to come back to relax in the hot tub and play a game of pool. The chalet was fun to find up the winding roads and once we arrived we loved looking out from both decks.

Amazing Chalet!

Our stay was short, only 2 nights, but the chalet was amazing. It was very clean and neat, nothing out of place. From the little touches of hospitality left by the owner, we felt so welcomed. Very much recommend this property to any couple looking for a romantic mountain retreat.

Incredible winter getaway

This property is just as described and so incredibly clean. Paula and Kieth are the best hosts and we really felt like we were staying with friends. My husband and I loved the quite escape from reality in this adorable chalet. Just what we needed- a quiet escape from the real world for a while. We will be back without a doubt!

A relaxing stay.

The property was just as advertised and exactly what we wanted. A short, beautiful drive into Gatlinburg but far enough away to not know it was there. Wonderful mountain views. A great place to just kick back but we also enjoyed just driving the mountain roads, stopping for a roadside picnic and just getting lost (sort of) for a little while. If you want to see bears, this is the place to go, we saw several everyday with one being only about 15 feet from our front door as we were about to leave. Our hosts were the perfect blend of available and caring with minimal contact. We would certainly return to this property.

Our Vacation

The only thing is that the address was confusing so it take us little while to find the chalet, and that the contract said if there’s any visit on the premises we will be evicted, so I have to send a text , and wait until I get respond clarifying that my family was not going to stay at the chalet, but overall we have a great time.

Very relaxing!

This chalet provided us with exactly what we were looking for for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed the hot tub and balcony every day and also just enjoyed sitting inside watching tv and enjoying the heat from the fire place. The bed was super comfy, the pillows a little flat for our liking but enough there to stack for extra cushion :) Paula stayed in contact with us our whole visit to make sure all was well. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Keith and Paula Henson

Host profile image
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 three 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!
