Summary:

Welcome to Bella Vista, a cozy two bedroom, two bathroom, dog-friendly Gatlinburg vacation rental nestled in the heart of the magnificent Great Smoky Mountains. Prepare to be captivated by the awe-inspiring scenery that surrounds this lovely property. You'll enjoy a breathtaking view of both the mountains and downtown Gatlinburg. It's a sight to behold, especially when the sun sets and the city lights come alive, painting the night sky with their magical glow.



Step inside and discover a haven of comfort and relaxation. This delightful one-level chalet is perfect for couples or small families. The spacious great room welcomes you with its large windows, allowing natural light to flood the space. Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace on our plush furniture, or gather around the dining area for a delicious meal prepared in the fully appointed kitchen (just bring the groceries). New Roku TV's are available in the living room and both bedrooms. The owner does not provide cable services; therefore, guests will need to log in to their own cable provider accounts, such as Spectrum, Xfinity, Netflix, Hulu Live, or YouTube TV, etc.



When it's time to rest, retreat to the king bedroom with its ensuite bath, complete with a large walk-in shower. Additionally, there's a second queen bedroom and a convenient hallway bathroom with a shower.



As you step outside onto the deck, a charming sitting area and a large hot tub await. Situated perfectly to provide you with incredible views, the hot tub offers the ideal spot to soak away the stresses of life and embrace Smoky Mountains relaxation.



Guests of this Gatlinburg chalet rental have access to three clubhouses, the closest to Bella Vista being the S.

Thank you so much! We are so thrilled to hear that you loved everything about Bella Vista and that our team delivered an excellent hosting experience for you! You make such a great point about the drive and the bears -- those are truly two of the most authentic Smoky Mountain experiences and we are so glad both added a little extra adventure to your stay! Your heads up to future guests is so helpful and very much appreciated! We would love to welcome you back -- whether at Bella Vista or one of our other cabins -- the next time the Smokies are calling your name. We hope to see you back in Gatlinburg very soon!

The Perfect Place

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Chalet is an amazing place. It was very clean, the linens were posh hotel quality, the amenities of a complete working kitchen, washer/dryer and hot tub added to the perfect chalet. We had bear in our yard every morning playing-what an experience to see nature up close.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 July 2023
Thank you fo the great review. We are glad you enjoyed the great amenities this chalet has to offer, plus the beautiful location with a view of the city. The bears love the side yard as their playground, but always enjoy from a distance. They are very curious and still wild animals. Please always LOCK your car doors as they can open them. We look forward to your next visit.

Christmas in the Smokies

We had a great time staying on property. Chalet was never close by everything in downtown Gatlinburg. The roads to the chalet are very narrow since the chalet is located closer to the top of the mountain. For larger vehicles I would recommend staying further down the mountain. We had a difficult time in a Jeep compass turning into the driveway. The only issues that arised and was very disappointed with was the master bathroom. The water pressure was horrible and the jacuzzi bathtub didn't work. Unfortunately there wasn't enough hot water to even fill up the bathtub halfway. The second bathroom had much better water pressure and no issues with the hot water. Besides the master bathroom the property over all was fantastic. Great views and a nice indoor fireplace. The neighborhood was never quiet and so peaceful at night watching the stars.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A lovely spot, enjoyed the deck very much. The home is dated and musty but for a short stay it was bearable. The cost is ridiculously hight and the rental company but at all responsive to issues we had with plumbing. Other family members rented the home next door through a much better company who were very responsive to issues and even brought a good/wine gift.

Nice clean chalet. Definitely needs some upgrades

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Flooring needs to be replaced in master suite bathroom as it’s buckling up. Mattress in master was pretty worn out. The road up to the chalet was horrible at the very end. Perhaps a car could make the driveway turn but not a truck. Overall chalet was very nicely decorated and extremely clean. Just needs a few updates.

Super comfortable stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came for a short weekend getaway. This cabin looked very beautiful in pictures and exactly the same in person. As soon as we arrived a bear greeted us which was pretty awesome. Getting to the cabin was very confusing as many streets do not have street signs. I enjoyed that it was located in a dead end, so there was more privacy. I do wish they would replace the once existing gate to the deck. Mountain Laurel Chalets never disappoint.

Bella Vista review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was a little disappointed to see how small the living space was, as the pictures online make it look very large. The sofa and loveseat are pretty broken in and worn down. The DVD player door was broken with no batteries for the remote. The master bath is very old and really needs updated. We all ended up using the other bathroom. Both shower areas are very tight making it difficult to move around. There were several soft spots in the wood flooring that we were afraid to step on. The welcome packet dates back to 2012 and is in pretty bad shape. It would have been nice if it was updated with current information. The outside could use a little updates and cleaning. It has a very nice kitchen and dining area with a lot of utensils. The villa is secluded with a nice front deck. It was very quiet which made it a good relaxing experience. It was an easy check in and check out experience with very nice office staff.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 July 2023
Thank you for sending us your concerns. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about the repairs needed. In response to your review, the DVD player has been replaced. The deck painting has been ordered by the owner. We will let him know about the living room furniture for replacement or repair. The shower in the master bath is actually bigger than the hall bath, but because it is a one piece fiberglass shower and the hall bath is tile, it seems smaller. The owner has plans to remodel the master bath. The soft spots in the living room are from the laminate floor buckling in that one spot and is totally safe. The sub floor is solid. The information notebooks are being removed and are being replaced by an on-line digital guide specifically for the cabin you have reserved, plus area information. You should have received that link in your email or text prior to your arrival. Again, thanks for the information and we are happy to hear you had a relaxing stay. We look forward to seeing you in the mountains again soon.

Wonderful cabin!

Perfect for my family. The cabin felt like home from the beginning. It had a private feel without being too secluded which made us feel safe. Great location too, close to town and entrance to GSM park. We also very easily made our way north to pigeon Forge without having to drive down the main drag through town. Wonderful view from front deck and hot tub. We loved the visits from the bears too.

This Could Be A Perfect Cabin With Some Much Needed TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So much to say about "Bella Vista". Wanted so badly to love this cabin. The pictures of this rental were absolutely stunning, and the view looked amazing. Didn't see too many poor reviews, until after we had passed the refund period. Dirty, SO dirty. So many spiderwebs in corners, above the fireplace, hanging from the ceiling. Killed a few spiders, one of which ran across the dining table. Also killed a cockroach running through the dining room. The problem is, the weather stripping on the entry doors (deck side) has a huge gap in it, so anything can crawl right in. Dust on top of the doorways, trim, in the bathroom fan. In the kitchen, a small wooden cookbook holder appeared to have been eaten through by termites or some other type of wood burrowing insect and piles of saw dust were on the kitchen shelf....clearly it hadn't been cleaned before our visit. The tub in the old bathroom is cracked. The new bathroom needs major cleaning. Mildew around the shower on the tile grout, the trim is filthy and never got painted after they put it up. In the master bedroom, they put up new curtains & curtain rods, but the old bracket is STILL on the wall above the one window. The ceiling light in the new bathroom is burnt out, also the microwave light (surface light) is burnt out. As others mentioned, the floor is unstable between the fireplace and the kitchen island...the whole thing moves! So many things going on in this rental. It desperately needs a deep, DEEP clean, and major maintenance. Also the new young trees that are growing on the property need trimming. The view of downtown Gatlinburg is now completely blocked. The good news is, we did have a couple bears on the property, that was a nice surprise. And the size of the kitchen is great!! Overall, really disappointed in our stay, for the fact that I spent hard earned money on this cabin, and it wasn't cheap. I really hope this property can receive some TLC before the next guest. See photos on Yelp!
Response from VrboOwner on 12 July 2023
Kathleen, thank you so much for the detailed review. The information you passed along is greatly appreciated. The maintenance and housekeeping issues you mentioned have all been addressed and we regret any inconvenience you may have experienced. All of our cabins are on a regular monthly extermination schedule and the tech had been in the house just 4 days prior to your stay. The gap in the doors you mentioned was identified and we believe you are correct in thinking insects are getting through that hole. We are looking into how to make that repair. The homeowner has plans to put down new carpet in the bedrooms and remodel the bathroom off the King bedroom. Covid and issues with the supply chain have complicated that job. However, we are hoping that can be accomplished within the next year. We are glad y ou got to see our furry neighbors and hope you will return to the mountains soon.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This chalet could use a little TLC. Wooden floor is buckling in places causing my kids to trip multiple times. Also, a good cleaning. Baseboards haven’t been cleaned in some time and floors were dusty and dirty. Master bathroom had molding separating from sink, jacuzzi tub is very old and buckling in the middle. Now for the bears - lots of them! We had a mom and three Cubs surround d our car when we were trying to exit the driveway. I LOVE wildlife, but the frequent visits by them was a little much. We came home one night to a chunk taken out of the hot tub cover by a bear!
