Gatlinburg Views & City Lights: Secluded Chalet Near Ober, Hot Tub, Pool Table

Relax.....take a deep breath.....you're at the chalet now. Life is good at the chalet!

Perched perfectly to capture Smoky Mountain views by day and twinkling nighttime lights, this spacious secluded chalet is the ultimate escape. Completely private yet minutes from town, your days flow from coffee on the downstairs deck to unwinding in the hot tub. As evening falls, head to the upper deck under the stars for a memorable mountain twilight overlooking the Ober Mountain area, with distant cabins glowing and Gatlinburg lights stretching below.

Nestled among the mountains and trees is “Grin and Bear It”, a lovely chalet overlooking Gatlinburg. With two completely secluded decks, a hot tub and gorgeous views overlooking Ober Mountain, every window has a view to enjoy.

The chalet is in a resort community and maintains that highly sought after "tucked away" and private feel.
It is conveniently only 15 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg.

Your stay also includes access to three Chalet Village clubhouses with seasonal pools, a fitness center, tennis courts, and game rooms.

As you enter the chalet, the bright and airy decor and the views from the windows welcome you to your Smoky Mountain retreat.

Delight in the comfort and coziness of the family room; with its comfortable seating, sleep sofa, lovely fireplace, and charming mountain decor.

The cooks among you will enjoy our well equipped kitchen which is open to the dining room and our outdoor grill.

As an added bonus you can unwind in the steaming hot tub on the back deck while admiring the beautiful views.

Waking up to the mountains every morning will never disappoint. The view from any room in the house is great, especially from the Master bedroom’s King bed upstairs. With vaulted ceilings soaring above you, the mountains around you, it is a delightful world of your own.

When you return from your day of excursions our chalet is a wonderful oasis for you to enjoy and socialize. Envision coming home to the chalet after experiencing the beauty and splendor of the Great Smoky Mountains. The glow of the fireplace casts a dreamlike ambiance. Surrounded by your friends and loved ones, you sip hot chocolate or your favorite refreshment while you reminisce, laugh, and reconnect. This is where memories are made.

We want our chalet to be a place for you to relax, rejuvenate, and renew your spirit. This is your vacation. With you in mind we designed “Grin and Bear It” as an affordable and comfortable retreat. We’ve included modern amenities so that your experience will be carefree and enjoyable.

You'll feel like you are a part of the mountains staying here, yet with all the comforts of home. You might even see a few bears. Soak up the delicious views from the hot tub, the many windows inside or the two decks outside. The solitude and sounds of nature will be just what you need, and the close proximity to Gatlinburg makes this the perfect getaway. This lovely chalet will make you feel like you're on the top of the world, and the views are definitely worth the climb.

Great getaway

This chalet was perfect for me and my husband. Very comfortable seating and bed. The drive up is steep and narrow, I'd recommend making the trip in daylight the first time. Well stocked kitchen area, and we enjoyed playing pool.

This property was just what my husband an i were looking for to spend our anniversary. Everything was as described and the bed is SO COMFORTABLE! Cute little touches throughout. Hot tub was very relaxing and private which I really appreciate. We also saw multiple bears everyday, it was awesome! The drive up the mountain does have some sharper bends but that’s to be expected! Would stay again for sure!

Big Grins and Bears

Charming Chalet! Extremely clean and inviting with lots of little extras to make you feel very well cared for. We saw at least 1 bear daily- on our last day we saw three cubs and their mama. Communication with Adrina is outstanding and the view at night will not disappoint. The beds and linens are very comfy and the hot tub was wonderful. Thank you Adrina for sharing your chaket with us.
