BREATHTAKING views of the Smoky Mountains and Downtown Gatlinburg!

With one of the BEST views of the Great Smoky Mountains and Downtown Gatlinburg, the Brown Bear Chalet offers the dream mountain getaway for everyone!

We invite you to be our guest and indulge in a little rest & relaxation at our charming chalet featuring 1 bedroom, 2 beds (king bed upstairs & sleeper sofa on the main level) and 2 full bathrooms that can comfortable sleep 4 adults.

Inside this 1200 Sq. Ft. two story chalet you will be surrounded by windows on every wall overlooking the STUNNING VIEWS that the Smoky Mountains have to offer!

MAIN FLOOR: Enjoy the chalets open floor plan so that you never feel like you are missing out on any of the action! Included is a fully appointed Kitchen with all the essential appliances required to cook a full course gourmet meal. Connected to the kitchen, you'll find an intimate dining nook with a perfectly sized round table that can comfortably seat 4 adults. While you are waiting for dinner to be ready, enjoy a game of pool found in the center of our Entertainment room! Once you've finished eating, cozy up on the couch for a movie night and stay warm & toasty with our gorgeously stacked stone, double-sided gas fire place. You'll also have access to our Wet Bar, making it extra convenient to make and sip on some yummy cocktails! A full bathroom and side-by-side washer and dryer are both located on the main floor as well.

SECOND FLOOR: Be ready to take one big EXHALE and let all your worries and stresses melt away as you enter the peaceful and tranquil environment that the Primary bedroom provides for our guests. Treat yourself to a relaxing and therapeutic bubble bath in our large JETTED WHIRLPOOL BATHTUB or take a moment to detox and really let your stresses MELT away in our SAUNA ROOM located next to the EXTRA LARGE walk-in shower with dual shower heads! Experience the crisp mountain breeze through the double doors where you'll have PRIVATE ACCESS to your very own LARGE, COVERED balcony with a HOT TUB, high-top outdoor table + 2 chairs that safely and comfortable seats 2 adults featuring views, views and MORE VIEWS!

Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort is just a stone's throw away (1.4 miles) and everything downtown Gatlinburg (4.7 miles), Pigeon Ford (11 miles) and Dollywood (13 miles) have to offer are within a short drive.

DRIVE SAFE: Buckle up for one of the most scenic drives you'll ever experience as you make your way up the mountain to the Brown Bear Chalet! You'll notice from our photos that we hit the jackpot when it comes to having one of the top, most INSANELY BEAUTIFUL and BREATHTAKING VIEWS of the Smoky Mountains! With that said, we like to point out that the roads are curvy as you are driving up a mountain. If you are not used to driving the mountain roads, it can be an interesting experience. It is one of the better mountain roads in the area to drive. Take it slow, focus on the road ahead and you will see what we mean when we say, the views from the Chalet are 100% worth it! As always, drive with caution no matter where you are.

(If you want to book same day, shoot us a message and we will absolutely accommodate if the cabin is available!). WE ALSO HAVE THE BLACK BEAR CHALET (VRBO #1237424) THAT IS AN IDENTICAL CABIN DIRECTLY NEXT DOOR; BOOK BOTH TO ACCOMMODATE LARGER PARTIES OR CHECK AVAILABILITY IF THE BROWN BEAR CHALET IS BOOKED!

Outstanding Views
The views from the upper deck are unbeatable. The property was clean and well maintained and a quick 10-15 minute drive from downtown Gatlinburg. My husband and I enjoyed our stay!

Weekend getaway
We were looking for a secluded style chalet, and this was about as close as you could get. The early morning views did not disappoint. The property manager was extremely helpful and nice and the check in process was a breeze. The chalet seemed to be a little bit on the older side but we would definitely stay here again. The 10-15 minute ride up the mountain to get here was awesome.

TN vacation
Great location, nice place close to town. Be prepared for the steep driveway. Highly recommend 4 wheel drive vehicle. Not being from TN, I was not prepared for the bear that casually came around the corner of the house as I stood outside. Be aware of your surroundings at all times!

My bride and I wanted a brief getaway from the hustle of DC. This was a perfectly nestled, private property with incredible views - home is gorgeous inside as are the views. Thank you to the owners!

Oasis Up A Mountain
Beautifully serene property w/ lots of amenities and a spectacular view. Close enough to everything but far enough for peace and quiet. Extremely private (just what we wanted) but have to warn other goers, its challenging to get there. Definitely recommend all wheel drive or 4x4 vehicles. Other than that perfect getaway and highly recommend checking it out!!

Gorgeous view
The house was well taken care of and clean. The view was absolutely breathtaking! However, the road to get to the house and the driveway was horrendous! When they “recommend “ a 4wheel drive, they mean you have to have it! We left a day early due to weather and knowing we would be unable to get out if we didn’t.

Not the place you think
Unfortunately we weren't able to stay there and immediately left and made reservations elsewhere. The drive to the place is sketchy at best. With the understanding that you are driving in the mountains, the roads were very narrow with almost no guardrails and definitely not the kind that you would want to drive at night. For the actual space, it is much more dated than the pictures portray. There were some broken pieces of floor upstairs and a piece completely missing from a cabinet in the family area. There were dead bugs on all of the window sills and the carpet had some stains. We also didn't realize there was no door to the bathroom which honestly, is just weird. The upstairs is just one room with no barriers or between the bedroom and bathroom areas. Would not recommend.

Can’t beat the view!
Overall great stay. The deck, view, and hot tub are fantastic. The house is comfortable. As others have stated a little “tlc” would go a long ways. Broken blind slats, cabinet drawer, light bulbs, etc. would I stay there again - yes. Would I recommend to others yes. Is the drive up steep yes, but worth it once you arrive.

Needs Attention!
As soon as we walked into the house, we were met with a very damp, musty, moldy smell. We were fortunate that the temperatures during our stay allowed us to open the windows and keep the house aired out. It looks as if there is mold or black clumps of dust in the air vents in downstairs bathroom and on the wall near the vent! This should be addressed and made sure it isn’t mold!!! Small details like light bulbs being burnt out, floor threshold broken and just laying on the floor, and no fitted sheet on the bed, just made it feel like the homeowners don’t put any TLC into the house with the money the earn from the renters. We really did enjoy the view the house had but that was about it.
