About this property

Chalet Village Log Cabin with Mountain Views! Easy Access and Flat Parking!

Bearfoot Retreat is a gorgeous 2 bedroom cabin designed for relaxation, romance, and fun. Located in the desirable Chalet Village community, it’s less than 3 miles from Downtown Gatlinburg, 8 miles from Pigeon Forge, and 1 mile to Ober Gatlinburg ski resort. Access Stoplight 10 in downtown Gatlinburg with an eight minute drive, avoiding the usual headache and traffic of parkway access. If you're looking for the ideal log cabin getaway experience, Bearfoot Retreat is just the place you're looking for.

Enjoy excellent mountain and ski lift views with 2 spacious king suites with whirlpool tubs on separate levels for complete privacy. The efficient split floor plan has a large kitchen and living area on the main floor, full game room and king suite on the lower level with another suite on the top floor. All three floors have covered decks with a different view for everybody's preference! Outdoor cooking, seating, and relaxing is offered throughout each deck including a hot tub, dining table, rocking chairs, and swing.

Mountain views like this are hard to come by without the usual endlessly winding and dangerous climb up Smoky Mountain roads. Bearfoot Retreat is one of the most easily accessible cabins in Chalet Village, with pristine FLAT concrete private parking for two cars.

The first thing you'll notice is the unique log cabin look with an inviting entryway. This begins your vacation experience at the comfortable cabin you may never want to leave (even with dozens of activities within a short drive!).

Enter the cabin into an open entertaining space, with comfortable couches, large TV, gourmet kitchen, and gas log fireplace. Show off your cooking skills with updated appliances, granite counter, and fully-stocked cupboards. For the grill master in you, there's also a grill out on the deck. Enjoy your home-cooked mountain meal at the dining table comfortably seating 6.

Head down a flight of stairs to the spacious game room, where the competitive juices start flowing across games of pool, shuffleboard, and plenty of table-top board gaming options. The game room also includes ample seating, a flat screen TV and access to a covered deck with hot tub.

Our 1,900 square foot cabin comfortably accommodates groups of 1 – 6 guests and provides vacation amenities throughout. Each bedroom is beautifully appointed with luxury linens and sufficient pillows important for a good night’s sleep, highlighted by the private deck off the top floor master suite. A pullout sofa in the living room accommodates the 5th and 6th guest comfortably.

The cabin offers flat panel TV’s in each bedroom with Charter cable, as well as Wi-Fi and phone for those who need to stay connected. Enjoy premium cable channels including HBO, Cinemax, Showtime and more if you're looking for a night in around the fire.

Our guests have access to all three Association Clubhouses, featuring large swimming pools, tennis courts, gym, shuffleboard, game rooms, and much more!

We know that you'll enjoy every aspect of Bearfoot Retreat, and we look forward to making you feel like our home is your home.

Perfect Spot

It was the perfect spot for our family while visiting the area. The house was a great size for our family of four. It had everything we needed. The game room was fun for the down time in the evening. Views from the top level were beautiful in the morning and evening. We even saw a few black bears while we were there. I would stay here again for sure.

Great layout

This was an awesome cabin. Very clean, awesome views, and very functional layout with plenty of room. The game room with pool stable and shuffle board was a very nice addition as we enjoyed lots of pool. The living room was spacious, but had that cozy cabin feel. Loved the views and enjoyed the hot tub as well. A perfect home away from experience.

Every year we go to Gatlinburg and I have to say, this was probably the best cabin that we’ve rented so far. Great location, close to the strip. Beautiful view. Also, very spacious and allows enough space for everyone.

Bear Country Beauty

This was the nicest cabin I believe we've ever stayed in and we go on a cabin vacation yearly. Beautiful cabin, very well organized, and immaculately clean. Fantastic view of Gatlinburg to the east with incredible sunrises. Bonus - bears were EVERYWHERE. We saw multiple bears every single day including daily visits from a mother bear and baby cub. Could not recommend this cabin more highly.

The property is amazing. Beautiful inside and out with amazing views of the Smokies throughout. Very spacious and clean. Had a few questions for the host (Stu) and he was promt and thorough with responses. We will definitely look to be back in this cabin soon! Highly recommend a stay here!

Great location and very comfortable property

We have stayed in this cabin quite a few times and will do so again. The host, Stuart, responds quickly to questions and concerns. On this trip, there was an issue with one of the AC units so that the upstairs bedroom did not cool properly and it was quite warm. It was the holiday weekend and despite the host's best efforts, repair service was not available for several days. As a result, we lost the use of that bedroom for 3 nights. Fortunately the lower level bedroom AC unit worked fine. These things happen and Stuart handled it as best he could and kept us informed every step of the way.We still had a wonderful trip to the Smokies and as soon as we settle on dates will be booking this lovely property for our Fall trip.

About the host

Hosted by Stuart Halberg

Host profile image
Growing up in Michigan, the Smoky Mountains were always the essential vacation landing spot for our family. Having since relocated to Florida, the proximity between friends and family back home and in Florida makes for an even more convenient meeting spot! Having a second home in Gatlinburg and opening it up for visitors to enjoy when we're not there was a no-brainer.

Can't wait for you to enjoy Bearfoot Retreat and all that it offers!



Why they chose this property

After months of searching for the perfect cabin, Bearfoot Retreat (then called Cabin Fever) hit the market. Within 24 hours we were under contract with what we immediately knew was "the one". Combining the charm and character of the cabin with knowing that guests will love the views and ease of access and parking, as well as location we fell in love.

What makes this property unique

Ease of access, flat parking, proximity to downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, three covered decks, private master suites, open floor plan.
