About the host
Hosted by Heather Harp
Hi, I'm your host, Heather — a retired paramedic, nature enthusiast, and animal lover! When I'm not enjoying time with my husband, three dogs, one cat, and lively parrot, I love exploring the beautiful Smoky Mountains and admiring the incredible wildlife that calls this area home.
Creating a peaceful, welcoming space for guests has been a dream come true. Whispering Bears Chalet is located in bear country, and we truly treasure our Smoky Mountain black bears. To help keep both guests and wildlife safe, we provide 'Bear Aware' guidelines at the chalet—simple steps that ensure everyone can enjoy these amazing animals from a safe and respectful distance. For more information on bear safety you can visit https://bearwise.org/

Why they chose this property
I chose a chalet in Chalet Village because it feels like a true home tucked into the heart of the mountains. There's something so peaceful about being surrounded by the forest, with the Smoky Mountains National Park and downtown Gatlinburg just a mile away. It's the perfect mix of nature, adventure, and comfort. I wanted a place where you could enjoy the magic of the mountains — spot a black bear wandering by, sip coffee on a rocking chair, and still be close enough to explore the town or hit the hiking trails. Whispering Bears Chalet became that perfect cozy escape I had always dreamed of sharing.
What makes this property unique
Nature-Themed
Each room is thoughtfully designed around a Smoky Mountain theme (Mountain Room, Wildlife Room, Waterfall Room), creating an immersive experience that connects guests to the outdoors even when they’re inside.
Bear Awareness and Wildlife Respect
We actively educate guests on how to respectfully coexist with local wildlife, especially the cherished Smoky Mountain black bears.
Prime Location
Being just 1 mile from both Great Smoky Mountains National Park and downtown Gatlinburg offers the best of both worlds: secluded nature and easy access to adventure, dining, and attractions.
Relaxation + Family Focus
Features like the Bear Cave Book Nook (with books, coloring books, and games for all ages) and family-friendly amenities make it a true retreat for families, not just a vacation rental.
Private Outdoor Living
The private 6-person hot tub overlooking the woods, rocking chairs, outdoor dining table, picnic bench, and gas grill allow guests to fully enjoy the mountain air and scenery without leaving the chalet.
