Magnificent scenery sitting at top of mountain with clear, crisp views of Mt. Leconte for EVERY season of the year. The chalet is maintained by Mountaineer Cleaning Company which does an excellent job at making sure the cabin is in exceptional condition for each arriving guest. As owners, we also live in area and inspect cabin on a weekly basis to provide a high quality vacation experience for all guests. Architecture is amazing!

COVID-19 and CANCELLATIONS: Cabin and hot tub are sanitized for your health and safety according to the CDC for your health and safety by my professional cleaning service, Mountaineer Cleaning and Maintenance. Requests for COVID cancellations and refunds align with those policies set by Vrbo. I am sorry but I do not give refunds due to inclement weather or early departures.
