The views were amazing. Especially the sun rising over the mountains. We also had a full moon during our stay which made the nighttime views nearly as amazing. We traveled with two of our teens who had enough space in the room with the twin and full. Master bed was nice and soft. We didn’t cook during our stay but there was adequate cooking supplies if one chose to. There was a Kurig too, which I didn’t think to bring k-cups for. I noticed the grill just outside the condo had propane attached and seemed to be for anyone to use. I’ll add, this place is high up in the mountains and the drive up is not for the faint of heart. I only say this because my wife is afraid of heights and the drives up and down were triggering for her. But once we were to the condo she loved the views. The drive isn’t bad, if heights don’t bother you. I still gave it 5 stars. I’m not dinging the property over the drive. The place is great and the owner was responsive.

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.

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 Getaway

Condo was easy to access, with ample parking. View is pretty, and while a complex you didn't feel crowded. Home had all amenities needed for our stay in Gatlinburg. We were there for over a week for a dance competition, commute back and forth to Convention Center was easy.

Birthday Weekend

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!

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.
