Near Ski Lodge / Hot Tub/ wifi/ pool table & Ping Pong / Fireplace

Bear Paws - Located just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, the Ober Gatlinburg Ski Lodge and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. 'Bear Paws' is about 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg in the Chalet Village community.

The large wooded lot provides excellent beauty and noise is practically non-existent in this area. The chalet is a beautiful 3 story modified A-Frame with 3 full levels. You will enjoy 2 wood burning fireplaces ( 1 in the main living room and 1 one in the rec. room). 4 private bedrooms to accommodate 8 guests comfortably. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level and 2 bedrooms upstairs. 1 full bath on each level. The lower level has a huge rec. room with pool table, ping pong table, plenty of lounge seating, cable tv and a wood burning fireplace.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessary appliances including stove/oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster etc. All cook ware and plate ware is provided. Towels and linens are provided as well. All you need to supply are the groceries. (Or skip the cooking while you are on vacation and enjoy one of the fantastic restaurants in downtown Gatlinburg).

Just out back and tucked under a covered gazebo, is the 4 - 6 seater hot tub to soak your cares away after a busy day.

About 2 miles away is Ober Gatlinburg, a beautiful ski resort with excellent ski slopes, a large indoor ice skating rink, restaurants, lounges and even a bear zoo. The aerial tram to Ober Gatlinburg takes you directly to the heart of downtown in 15 minutes and can be seen from the chalet as it passes overhead.

Guests at Bear Paws also have access to three seasonal clubhouses located within the Chalet Village community, each offering pools, tennis courts, and other amenities (open from Memorial Day through Labor Day). While these clubhouses are part of the same community, driving times can vary from 10 to 15 minutes,

The cabin was a great place for our family getaway. 8 adults were comfortable in the cabin, and there was plenty of space to sit and to spread out. It's also a great place to spot bears from the safety of the second floor porch! Make sure to keep your car doors locked.

Thanks to this wonderful property, we had the best holiday weekend with enough space for everyone to enjoy each other and enjoy some alone time. Everyone had their own room and we enjoyed watching football together, cooking together and eating together! Thank you for having us!

Gatlinburg family vacation

As soon as we see this beautiful cabin nestled in the mountain I knew it was perfect for our family. It was far enough from everything you got that alone time you needed as a family but close enough you didn't miss anything.. We definitely want to stay here again!
