About this chalet rental
The Kids won't want to leave!!! Our kid friendly home has something to offer everyone!!EXCELLENT views which include beautiful sunrises over Mt. LaConte, the aerial tram, downtown Gatlinburg, a game room with FREE REAL arcade games that will for sure entertain adults and children for hours,located near one of the three Chalet Village community heated pools (open mid-May to mid Sept.),and 1/2 mile from the entrance to Ober Gatlinburg ski area. All of this for a great value!! PLUS, we have PARKING!! We have a parking area that can fit 4-5 cars across and everyone can get out or park a motorcycle trailer!!
Our Chalet is a large A-frame design. It has three levels with a bath on each level. The first level has 2 bedrooms (1Q, 1F), a full bath and a laundry facility (washer and dryer). The main level has 2 bedrooms (2Q's), a full bath, the living/dining room,gas fireplace with sunken living room, kitchen, and decks which surround 2 sides of our home, and the hot tub. The 3rd level has a bedroom (1K ), plus a bed (1F ) on the loft, a bath. The game room is its own room off this level and has couches. Our cabin is close to all the area attractions(Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Cherokee, National Park entrance and more). It sits on top of Ski Mountain in the Chalet Village neighborhood and our street ends with the boundary to the National Forrest which allows for an occasional visit from wildlife, i.e. 'L'il Smokey', a black bear, that likes to visit our home from time to time in search of their next meal. Even though, we are on top of the mountain, we are still only 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg and 15 minutes to Pigeon Forge.
We have WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICE, FREE LONG DISTANCE PHONE SERVICE for US & Canada, and digital cable. We have stereo systems, DVD and VHS players and a movie library for your viewing pleasure. We offer a complete kitchen and dishes with a set up for 15.
Our home has something for everyone...entertainment, close to all area attractions, views, the house is located a lot away from your neighbors on all sides, and fun. The word I usually use to describe our home is that is has 'Great Flow' for a group. While the kids are up in the game room, the adults can enjoy a movie or views from the deck.
Update: The Hot Tub was replaced in January 2022, and is working great.
We would love for you to stay with us. Just e-mails us today.
Sincerely,
John & Laura and Sandy & Steve

It was remote and out of town, and that's what we were looking for.

I was very disappointed that we did Not have a view. We did see bears daily which was fun. The cabin is in great need of TLC, it has good potential but is need of refreshing and repair. We did have room for everyone and the beds were comfy, wifi worked as well unless you were on lower level, then ify. Host were quick to respond when messaged. Note that bears can open trash bins. There was trash all around from checkin. Noone came to clean as we were told they wouldhosts may want to contact th

The game room was a favorite and the hot-tub was nice. Bear visited daily and we thought that was fun. We had a difficult time getting everything in garbage bins- there were 4 cans, but only could get one open to put trash in. Note said the garbage gets picked up multiple times a week, but maybe they are short staffed, as that was not our experience. There were a few roaches in the house, but not anything crazy. Also a leak in the front bedroom on 2nd floor. The ceiling in the top floor bedroom flakes dirt onto the pillow of the bed daily, but it’s just an old home, so not a big deal. Top room also has a very strong odor, but again, no big deal. Ac worked great, kitchen was functional, as were showers. Drive up was sketchy, but that’s just the area. Just understand you are booking an older, lived in home that is probably overwhelming for the cleaner to clean every aspect of.

Kids were super excited about the game room. The variety of the pool table and games kept them busy for hours. In addition, the common area, which included the kitchen, fireplace pit, dining area and living room provided plenty of space for the entire group. Saw plenty of bears so make sure to lock your vehicles as one did the car doors and help themselves to anything it could find to eat. The owners were very responsive to anything we needed. Unfortunately we didn't have a view due to tree leaves. The house could use some TLC updates. But overall we had a great visit.

Good for our family, plenty of room, got to see bears everyday.

This is a throwback to the 70s and not in a good way. Everything from the carpet to the furniture and everything else is old and shabby. There are absolutely no mountain views from the house. The stairways are steep and narrow, nobody with any mobility issues ahould consider staying here. There is a constant flurry of some white powder coming from the peak in the living room that coats the sofa. We had a thunderstorm one day and the roof leaked in two places. We actually left a day early because everyone was ready to get out of the place.

Everything about getting information we needed and checking in was great, I enjoyed the simplicity of it. The pictures did not show some of the age and wear that was there but we didn’t mind, and the pictures made it seem way bigger. But again plenty of room for us. We used the hot tub twice and it worked great. The trip to Gatlinburg was quick and easy, pigeon forge not so much. We did end up seeing a bear on the property but it was a welcome treat as we love wild life. I do wish the tv remotes had been labeled for each tv, we never really got that figured out. All in all I am already trying to figure out when we are going to come back.
8.0 / 10.0
Pros: great location, excellent value for size of property, fun family atmosphere with arcade, hot tub, and fireplace.
Cons: narrow roads, driveway has steep incline (commom in this mountain area), property is dated but functional, no shower head with king bed room ( tub only) overall great choice for budget minded.

This house met all our needs with enough bedrooms and enough living space to have a really good time. The porches were big and surrounded the house. We enjoyed the hot tub. When we called the owner, he responded immediately.

We had a great time and when needed, the property owners responded quickly and were helpful. The home was well stocked with dishes, pans, and utensils. We did run out of dishwasher tabs and trash bags for the main trash can, but I’m sure if we’d asked for more, they would have been supplied. There were lots of beds that were all pretty comfy. If you’ve got so many people they need to sleep on the couches, bring an extra blanket or two. We didn’t find any in the dressers. The grill works great and the hot tub is also very nice. The arcade games all worked and we played lots of pool. One last thing, it’s up high in the mountains but close to the end of the strip in Gatlinburg. Ubers will drop off and pick up at the house but if you’re driving you’ll want to have a car with some clearance and horsepower to get up the driveway. This is a great property!

The hot tub and game room were a big hit with our group. Driveway indeed had plenty of parking and our group of 10 had plenty of space to spend time together for meals or games (or apart for quiet time). The location was convenient to the National Park and the owners were excellent about early communication with clear instructions.

Everything you need in a cabin. It’s not a brand new cabin but it felt rustic and everything you expect to stay in the mountains. Super close to gatlinburg. Loved the arcade.

We stayed here for the sole purpose of it being so close to the Ober Gatlinburg resort. It was a great spot. The house is a bit outdated and I gave 4 stars on cleanliness because there was hair in the tub in the downstairs bathroom. But otherwise a nice place to stay, especially for multiple families!

Nice, cozy, fun house. But could definitely use some updates

I had a terrible experience with this vacation property. The cleaning was subpar, with excessive dust everywhere. As a result, my son suffered from allergies throughout our stay. Additionally, the house itself is in poor condition, with broken drawers in the kitchen and a malfunctioning shower in the bathroom on the 3rd floor. Furthermore, the access to the property was complicated.

The cabin was perfect for our family in so many ways! Enough room for us all! The game room was non-stop entertainment! The Christmas decorations that was already there combined with what we brought as well was perfect! Steve and Sandy were a joy to work with… so thoughtful and kind! No bear sightings but we do believe they were ‘around’ during our visit there. This chalet felt like home away from home! Many, many thanks!!!
Merry Christmas to your and your sweet family!

The house slept a lot of people but there were a lot of things left to be desired. Quite a few of the lights were out/not working, the fire place was inoperable, and over all the house could really use some TLC.

Views were absolutely gorgeous! The price for place was very reasonable for vacationing on a budget. Can be in downtown Gatlinburg in about 10 to 15 minutes! The house was dated and could use some updating but suits your needs. My grandkids loved the game room. You will definitely see some bears!

The cabin was nice to many bears they were in the hot tub. Couldn’t go in. They were all ways around the house. I was cooking on the grill one came up on the deck, I had to go in the house. They nocked the grill over . It should have been chained down. They were on my truck a lot and a car my truck had a $1,000 worth of damage. My tunnel cover. Scratches.And a few dents. Beautiful area but would not come back.

We chose this property because of the space it had available. It was in the perfect location, close enough to stuff yet secluded. LOTS of bear sightings. The home is a little older but very clean. The only thing that could have been better was more towels and less steep steps in the house. But other then that it was great for our wedding party.

The name is perfect!! The bears definitely drop in for a visit. Everyone we spoke with was jealous as we had daily visits from momma and her bears. The game room was a blast. The rides to and from are gorgeous.
It also was a savings cooking for the family, rather than the expense of breakfast, lunch and dinner out.
It was certainly enjoyable.

Other than minor issues (bear ruining hot tub liner so keeping hot tub clean and bear free was difficult) our family found this house perfectly acceptable and accurate with photos. No special bells and whistles but still a comfortable home base for us all during the week. The adults enjoyed the pool table and the kids really enjoyed the arcade games. Thanks for the hospitality!

Eight people were in our group, this included three generations. We enjoyed our time at the cabin, but the property is dated and in need of repairs. Also, The inside stairs are very steep. The third floor shower is not usable due to the slant of the roof.

The house is clean and very comfortable. We also had a mother bear and her 4 cubs playing in the yard and deck. very cool

The property was great for our group. There was plenty of space for us all. The kids enjoyed the game room despite a couple of problems with the games. The parking spot was big enough to fit 3 cars easily. The hot tub was nice. We were cautious about the bears, as they came right up on the porch multiple times. I believe that probably some visitors have been feeding the bears, since they are so prevalent, yet this is of no fault of the property owners. Some reviews mentioned the house needing updates, which I would agree with, but wasn't a problem for us. The owner responded right away to my one question. Another plus is that the property is only a 3 minute drive from Ober Gatlinburg, which was excellent for our group. Overall, this was a great place, which i would stay at again.

When we arrived we were so excited. We were NOT disappointed!! This was a get together of friends for over 20 years and our oldest kids that are friends since birth. The game room was well used and enjoyed !! We cooked out on the grill !! Some of the boys used the hot tub..! We even played Hide and seek… (age ranges 22-48). We really enjoyed sitting on the porch and laughing at stupid memories.. All of us said we will rent this cabin again !!! Wonderful place,location, and atmosphere..

We enjoyed staying at the Bear Drop Inn. There was plenty of space for our group of eight. There were a few things about the property that could be improved, but overall we enjoyed our stay.
8.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed our short stay in this spacious house. It has plenty of room and two main hangout spots. Of course, we took advantage of the amazing arcade room, billiards, and hot tub. Playing NFL Blitz gave me nostalgia! The home could use some updating but that was not a big concern. Overall, a 4/5 and pretty good value/price.
