Worth The Climb, bears and Views!

This beautiful chalet is true to its name: Worth the Climb. In Chalet Village, atop the mountain, you will find this amazing cabin that offers spectacular views of downtown Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains. Our one-bedroom chalet sits atop Ski Mountain next to Ober Gatlinburg.

The pet friendly cabin features mountain views and a private setting, only 3.7 miles from Gatlinburg and 8 miles from Pigeon Forge. Access to the seasonal clubhouse of Chalet Village features pools, tennis courts, a gym, and more. Note you will drive through steep and windy roads to get here!

We are a family-owned business striving to ensure your experience is an idyllic getaway.
The first floor includes an entertainment room with an Air Hockey table, a foosball table, Smart TV, and a mini arcade. A full bathroom, Jacuzzi tub, and electric fireplace can also be enjoyed here. The lower level offers includes a large family room with a Smart TV, cable and internet, breakfast nook, fully stocked kitchen, and a beautifully decorated master bedroom with French doors. A full bath neighbors the master. Every room of the chalet has a view of the mountains! Relax on the back deck for bear watching, the lights of Gatlinburg, and the visits of birds, squirrels, and other animals. A hot tub is provided on the back deck for a relaxing night. A washer and dryer are also provided for your convenience.

We welcome your furry pets in our chalet with a $100 Pet fee.

We recommend 4x4 drive during the Winter months if snow is forecasted in The Great Smoky Mountains. The cabin features paved roads all the way up and without any inclement weather any car should be fine but again, we recommend 4x4 wheel drive when visiting the area primarily in January and February.

We provide Keurig and traditional coffee maker.

We also ask that you do not leave food outside and please DO NOT feed the bears.

Peaceful! Great cabin!
Very quiet, beautiful view of the mountains and surrounding cities! Everything was clean and in order. Hot tub was amazing, clean and relaxing. Great for late nights looking over the cities! Only thing I would be cautious of renting this place is how many times you’re going to leave. It is definitely a hike up to the cabin in your car. At some points you can’t even see the road in front of you when cresting a hill. Night time being a lot worse. Most roads to it seem to be one lane and ditches are very deep. 10-12ft. drop off if you don’t pay attention and stay on the road, especially with oncoming traffic. Definitely worth the climb! And be mindful of the bears, they’re definitely there! All in all an absolute great experience and exactly what we needed!

Amazing views and relaxing atmosphere
This cabin was just as described. It was inviting and very relaxing. It has amazing views with things to do without even leaving the property. It is also close to Gatlinburg where you can enjoy the many attractions. It was perfect and I was able to de-stress! We plan on coming back in the future!!

Beautiful balcony, but not for everyone.
We spent most evenings on the balcony which was always very pleasant and fun with the jacuzzi. Fans outside did not work but would have helped keep mosquitos away. Few considerations, kitchen is not fully stocked with pantry necessities only salt and pepper. We packed accordingly so it wasnt an issue. Lots of items were dusty and drinking glasses were dirty with fingerprints...Tatiana was very responsive and helpful, but a simple tv directions /guide to using the tv/remotes would help. Grill outside was not useful since it was in an area next to the garbages (attracting bears) and a huge wasp nest in the ground next to the front door. Finally, the drive up and down was very stressful. As a person who suffers from anxiety it was too much and we left a day early. Owner directions are accurate, but limited. Google gps is not always responsive in the area. One small missed insane turn and your traveling in the wrong direction with no room to turn around (single lane streets but go in both directions). My recommendation is a photo guided google maps direction pdf, this way I know what to look for when traveling in a new place with steep inclines and hidden drives. We are just not used to mountain driving. My kids loved the air hockey and Foosball, and over all the house was great.

Relaxing Retreat
Beautiful views and peaceful nights. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife right from the cabin. You will see bears, it was so thrilling and surreal to see! It is worth the climb! It was amazing to see the wide landscape/horizon and other cabins on the way up. The cabin had everything we wanted in our stay from air hockey, to the hot tub that sat on a privacy porch where we ate our meals as we stared into the mountains in the distance, and then a big cozy bed to sleep on after a busy day of adventuring. The cabin is 10 minutes to Gatlinburg that was very convenient as it was a one way shot down. The Ober mountain has different roads that can help you avoid driving through Gatlinburg (traffic) if traveling to pigeon forge. I recommend staying here!

Beautiful view, space around cabin without crowded neighbors. Cabin needed some repair - ceiling and closet door water damage. Layout was a bit odd - main level was on bottom floor. Fireplace and garden tub was upstairs. Hot tub was great. Drive to cabin was extremely steep. Good overall rating

We absolutely loved this property! For Texans, the drive up the mountain was stressful at first but otherwise fine. We brought our dogs and there’s definitely not space for them to run around and play but it doesn’t take away from all the positive things about this property!

Over all good experience
Star gazing from the jacuzzi was a real treat. Inside was clean and kitchen was well stocked for cooking if you chose too. There were a few repairs that needed attention. Most specially the door to the deck. It was almost impossible to open and once open you had to body slam to shut. Very annoying. Also the door to the kitchen pantry was off. Did have a Bear encounter as Yoga was making his rounds checking out the trash cans for a picnic basket but we both kept our distance and went on our way. Over all a good experience and a great place to escape for the weekend.

Short but sweet.
The cabin is very nice but I must say that the picture that most needed to be posted was not (but I did find it on another site after we returned) The main living area is downstairs from the only entrance to the home. The door opens to the fireplace which is beautiful but oddly designed with no seating area in front of it to enjoy it. Just a bench to remove boots or shoes and hang a coat. There is only one chair up there so would be difficult to just sit up there with family or friends while playing with the games. We had to haul a cooler and luggage and groceries down at least 15 stairs. But unfortunately we also had a large dog with us that had trouble navigating the stairs having to go potty at night, early the next morning. Somehow he ended up straining something and developed a bad limp the next morning and we barely got him back up the stairs. We went home that day sadly. There were definitely some maintenance issues going on, some closet doors missing or off the rails. It didn't effect our stay just a bit disappointing for the price. Tatiana was excellent from first contact thru the time we left early. Beautiful views, we were able to enjoy the hot tub the first night. I felt it important that anyone considering this cabin at least know about the stair situation and understanding that the main living area is all down there. The upper level is very pretty but not very usable except maybe for older kids to play(but the indoor jacuzzi is in that space too. So just not that practical of a layout)

This location has a good view and seclusion. My wife and I wish we had more time in the chalet. Convenience cleanliness, and overall quality of this location made my wife and eyes honeymoon that much more Grand. I will say the biggest thing for me that made me like the location even more was on a moment's notice being able to contact the provider and have a response within minutes.
