Our unit has a full kitchen, including a dishwasher and microwave, two televisions and a DVD player, a king- sized bed in the master bedroom. The second bedroom has a full sized bed and a twin bed.

We provide all linens and the coin operated laundry facility is located just across the hall. The complex has two jacuzzis as well as a heated pool (during the season).
This unit is equipped with 2 smoke alarms, 2 fire extinguishers, and a cabon monoxide detector for your safety and protection.

Sorry - we only rent to those 25 years and older. Please be advised there are NO elevators at High Chalet and therefore not wheelchair / handicapped accessible. Our unit is on the second floor but the unit itself in one level.
We can accept Visa and MasterCard through PayPal, subject to an additional 4% service charge.
**Please note: There is a 2-night minimum.**

Please keep in mind, this is the mountains and there are hilly roads at times. Also, if you are visiting us during the winter, please park in the front area of our complex if snow is a possibility. Although the main roads are most always salted / treated, the parking lot of the complex may not be treated. If the Main roads are open, so are we.

It's a bit old-fashioned, with old furniture, and it's on the second floor. It's clean, and the shower has good pressure and hot water. The AC keeps the house at a great, steady temperature. There was no noise from neighboring apartments. The apartment is at the top of the mountain at the end of the road, so I'd like to know how accessible the roads are during winter in that area. If you're looking to see bears, this is the perfect place. I ran into bears almost every time I was going downtown or coming back to the apartment.

Perfect view!

Top of the mountain made for an awesome ride up and an even better view once we got there! Kids loved the pool and game room, everything was within a short drive down the hill. Seen a few bears, one was up close and personal! Communication was spot on, description was perfect, we loved it. Will definitely be back.

Perfect Getaway

Great view, affordable, clean, and great communication with the Owner. Only thing we felt could have been better is if the one bedroom had a TV and that the Queen bed in the one bedroom needs replaced ASAP you can feel the springs not comfortable at all. Overall we had great stay.

Great place to stay and just relax!

This was our 3rd time staying at High Chalets for our anniversary. (all through different owners). We love the remoteness and serenity! We buy all of our groceries prior to arriving and do not leave until time to go home. Each time we have seen the bears.. I highly recommend this property. The owners we very nice and responded promptly to any questions.

Wonderful View

We stayed the first week of April and had a great visit. The view from off the balcony was amazing and we spent so much time sitting out there to enjoy them! Our second day we were lucky enough to see a mama bear and three cubs walk across the property, right under our balcony! The roads up and down definitely were an adventure, but after a few days it wasn’t as bad. We would definitely return for another visit!

Magnificent Location

Being within 20 minutes of Gatlinburg and all the activities available there. The view from the property was stunning in the truest sense of the word. The property was well-maintained and clean. Felt remote. Hiking was beautiful. We saw a bear from the balcony! My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time for her birthday weekend. It was an unforgettable time. Truly!

Beautiful views and plenty of space!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bear's Den! I believe we had one of the best views in Gatlinburg! We sighted plenty of wildlife. Everything in the condo was pretty much identical to the listing. We had plenty of space, felt safe and secure, and had everything we needed at our fingertips. Also, just a quick 10-15 minute drive down the mountain gets you right to the Gatlinburg strip. Super convenient but you aren't right on top of everyone. This is a good one!

Why they chose this property

This complex is at the top of ski mountain and the view is spectacular from our balcony. You can see the people at Ober Gatlinburg skiing down the slops from our balcony. There is no other building behing our building making it one of the more secluded condos in the complex.
