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,

Thanksgiving family trip was a success!

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!

Cozy mountain getaway

Be prepared for a steep mountain climb to a cozy mountain getaway! Home was well stocked with everything we needed. Great home away from home. Saw a bear a few days, so make sure all windows and doors are closed and locked, as well as garbage is securely stored. All in all, it was a great experience!

Great Family Place

This place was perfect for our family. We had a wonderful time. The only drawback would be the hot tub. It was very unlevel. Some of the jets didn't work and the ones that did were not strong. Other than that, we had zero complaints.

Lovey, but Bathrooms need to be Cleaner

Large comfortable beds and great amenities! No crazy checkout procedures, which was appreciated. However the showers on the 2nd and 3rd floor were not clean and no one in the party felt comfortable using them. The outlets are unreliable as not all of them work and the handrail by the stairs was loose/ broken.

2nd time with friends

I've enjoyed this cabin 2 years in a row with plans to keep coming back. There is plenty of room for everyone to hang out together. Close to everything. May be one of the older cabins that could use a little upgrading (mainly the deck). We've seen multiple bears on this trip. One of them right in the driveway

August Vacation

Loved having 3 bathrooms, one on each floor. House was clean! Beds were comfy! Kitchen was well stocked! House well furnished, and ample room for everyone Drive was a little scary up the mountain. You had quiet relaxing outside atmosphere, but absolutely no scenic view from any of the decks. Only issues were ping pong balls were horrible (cheap/light), couldn't play with them. Luckily I brought our own. There also was only 1 tip on the pool question, made it very difficult to play. Driveway was hard to navigate if there was more than one vehicle. We did see a momma bear and cubs walk down the street!!

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.

We had a great time. Bear visits every day! Lock your vehicles and dont leave food in them. The house was very roomy and the teenagers loved the space, the pool table and ping pong table. The decks got lots of use as well. Wonderful time.
