This is a great little cabin. It's definitely older but was comfortable for our family with kids. The host was super responsive with the couple minor issues we had. Access to the community pool was nice. Bears walked through the yard every day and even onto the porch so be aware if you're outside. My only complaints would be that there is no dish soap provided and some indoor spaces could use better lighting. Overall was a good value for us.

Already looking forward to next year!
We LOVED staying at this property! It was pretty clean, besides a few drinks cans left behind, but other than that, in wonderful shape! The kids had a blast and probably would've been happy staying at the property the whole time we were in town. The loft upstairs was perfect for them to have their own little space, especially with its own balcony. The bedroom on the main level having its own entrance was a plus, too. We loved the fact that there was a game room downstairs, and spent most of our time there while we were at the property in the morning and at night. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and we plan on renting again next year!

Nice cabin in great location
Excellent proximity to Gatlinburg and blocks from Ober mountain sky tram. We found cabin to be clean , spacious ( 2 couples) and comfortable. Easy way to avoid Gatlinburg traffic was to drive a few blocks up and catch the tram down. Great views along the way. Jeff was very responsive and proactively checked to ensure our stay was positive. There were a couple of minor issues like burned out bulbs but nothing to negate our overall positive experience. We enjoyed our stay.

Cozy getaway
We had a really nice time staying here. The boys enjoyed the pool table, we enjoyed the hot tub! We saw bears right out front, they walk past the house daily. The neighbors are nice, neighborhood felt safe. The town is very close by. Bears are all over ski mountain road, we saw more bears in the neighborhood than we did in cades cove. Beds were comfy. Perfect space for a family of four and our dogs. Internet was never an issue. Thank you again! We’re already planning our next trip!

Absolute dream A-frame cabin
We loved our stay at the Ski Bear Chalet. We saw a family of bears every day we were there and the view across the street is unbelievable. The cabin had everything we needed and Jeff was very responsive . Check in couldn’t have been easier and we loved having the hot tub and the awesome addition of a jacuzzi tub downstairs. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone who wants to have a great stay in Gatlinburg!

We had a great time at the Ski Bear Chalet! This cabin is perfect for a little getaway. Jeff was such a nice host and also responded in a very timely manner. If you are wanting to see a lot of bears, this is definitely the place to stay! We saw many bears, especially in the morning! Thank you so much for a great time, we will definitely keep this cabin in mind next time we come!

Spacious Cabin on the Mountain
Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. The downstairs bathroom was our only disappointment. The “shower” head is handheld but is on the edge of the tub right beside the faucet so you have to hold it above you the whole time if you want to use it like a shower. It’s not up on the wall where a normal shower head would be. The cabin is very roomy except for a small kitchen. Pay attention that the upstairs bathroom has a tub but no shower. It’s in the listing, but I didn’t notice this at first. The stairs are rather steep so keep this in mind. Bring you own laundry detergent if you plan to wash clothes. Most everything else has about a 2-3 day supply as stated in the listing. We saw bears almost every day of our stay, which was exciting. It’s a quiet neighborhood up on the mountain. Our family of four enjoyed our stay overall and would consider staying there again.

Family Spring Break
We (family of 6) enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Everything was clean and cozy. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. On the second day we got some bear visitors that just peacefully checked out the deck and went about their business. Jeff (the owner) was friendly and easy to contact. Easy acces between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Would definitely recommend.

Great spot to get away.
This was a great property that was exactly as advertised. Its in a great location for getting into Gatlinburg as well as the National Park but still provided some peace and quiet for our down time. My whole family liked the layout of the house and we liked being surrounded by nature. Along with that, we could easily get into either town or the park within 10 minutes. We loved this property and will certainly plan to stay there again the next time we come to town. 5 Stars for sure.

Okay but need some work
The location was great, up in the mountains and we saw bears several times. The cabin was okay, but could use some TLC. Basement door appeared to have a leak, carpet in front of it was wet and basement had a musty smell. Smoke detectors were beeping from low batteries when we got there. Top shelf on dishwasher came off track and stair railing came loose on one of the kids. Cabin wasn't stocked with supplies, we had to purchase paper towels, dish soap, toilet paper, dust pan, kleenex and only 2 dishwasher pods for the week. Hand towel rack and toilet paper racks both fell off. Carpet was torn in bedroom. Mattresses were in need of replacement, both had dips in center. Could be a nice cabin with a little work.

We enjoyed our time here tremendously! My grandmother was able to enjoy the fireplace and the porches and rest, my teenagers enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table, and I enjoyed the coziness of family time together in the mountains! Jeff was a very responsive host and so easy to communicate with. He always responded immediately. There are a lot of bears! We saw SO many…including a Momma and two babies who came right onto the porch. We were safe inside but it sure was fun seeing them that close!
