About this property

WOW! Mountain Views, 2 Kings+, Grill, Pool Table, Fireplace & Covered Decks

Why settle for less? Stay in a chalet with spectacular views of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park visible from the beautifully decorated great room and both King master suites. All 3 rooms have floor to ceiling windows to awe-inspiring views. Plus, we've brought the outside in by decorating Alpenglow Chalet with the artwork of local wildlife and nature photographers. You'll truly feel like you're immersed in the Smokies whether you're cuddled up enjoying the warmth from the gas fireplace in the great room or if you're rocking on one of the covered decks taking in the view of the park.

Ready to have some fun? Downstairs you'll find activities galore for old and young alike. There's an Olehausen pool table, a 47' smart flat screen TV that's great for watching sporting events, and an unbelievable collection of movies, books & board games. Let's not forget the soothing hot tub located just steps away from all the fun. And, if location is important to you, the Gatlinburg 'strip' is just 2.6 miles away and Ober Gatlinburg ski area is just 1.5 miles away.

And, most importantly, when you rent Alpenglow Chalet, you rent directly from the owners.
____________________________________________________________________

Welcome to our chalet in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. This privately owned chalet is aptly named 'Alpenglow Chalet - A Chalet Over Gatlinburg' as it is situated high above Gatlinburg at 2380 feet yet it is only 5 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg. It has spectacular views of Mt. LeConte and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Our home is located just one street away from the park boundary gracing you with a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Spending your days in Gatlinburg is a snap when you stay in our chalet since it is only 2.6 miles from traffic light #10 and all the action on the 'strip'. Like to ski or snowboard? If so, our place is perfect, as it's only 1.5 miles to Ober Gatlinburg and the ski slopes. Pigeon Forge is also easily accessible taking just 20 minutes using back roads to avoid traffic.

The best part is returning to the chalet at night. Weary from all the activities, but able to unwind in your own private lodge overlooking the mountains. When you rent our chalet, you will delight in the peace, solitude, and beauty that is the Smokies.

Our 2 King suite/3 full bath chalet sleeps 6 and with 1800 square feet to spread out in, the chalet is quite spacious. And don't forget to unwind on one of its two covered decks. The main level, and largest, one is unique in that it is angled making it appear to surround the view.

On the main floor, two couples will be very comfortable each in their own luxurious King suite with attached bathroom. They have 40" and 42"' TVs and large walk-in closets. Both bedrooms have a full wall of windows with a door to the deck allowing you to wake up and fall asleep to a gorgeous mountain view.

Also on the main level is the laundry room, fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and a great room with a gas fireplace made of stone. The great room has 2 extra large plush recliners and a sofa with 2 recliners to kick back in and watch the 48' smart TV that also graces this room. Like the bedrooms, the great room also has a full wall of windows with a door leading out to the covered deck and Smoky mountains view.

Downstairs on the lower floor you will find a large game room complete with an Olehausen pool table and 47" TV to watch those football or basketball games on. Up for a game of cards? There's a game table perfect for playing board games or a round of poker. We've supplied board games, books, and DVDs for your entertainment. We've provided things to do for our guests of all ages! On this level you'll also find a queen-size sofa bed, two comfy chairs for relaxing in, and a bathroom complete with a shower.

Step out of the game room onto the lower deck. Here's where you'll find the hot tub to relax in. Yes, it's private, but you'll still be able to take in a view of the mountains.

When you stay with us you'll have full access to three owner's clubs. The closest one, which is 1.6 miles away, has a large outdoor swimming pool with two diving boards, a kiddie pool, two tennis courts, shuffle board, pool tables, ping pong tables, game tables, video game, and a playground. The clubs are open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Memorial Day through Labor Day. The tennis courts are open year round.

Come stay in our mountain home. Nowhere on Earth is quite as beautiful as the Smokies!

Breathtaking views, cozy cabin & even a friendly bear visitor!

We just returned from the most wonderful trip to this cabin, and we’re already wishing we were back. From the moment we arrived, the sweeping mountain views took our breath away — especially the sunrises and sunsets, which we never missed from the deck. The cabin itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could need. We loved grilling out after a long day of exploring. We had a curious little bear decide he wanted to help us figure out the hot tub settings. While it initially scared us, it was such a neat experience. He was very quiet climbing up the beam to the bottom balcony. Luckily, I think he was just as spooked of us as we were of him and he quickly went back down the beam to his mama. It made for such a fun (and memorable!) story to take home. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen had everything for cooking, and the hot tub under the stars was the perfect way to end each day. The location was private and peaceful but still just a short drive to town. Our hosts were fantastic — quick to respond and clearly proud of their home. This cabin truly felt like our own little mountain retreat, and we can’t wait to come back. This place has a way of putting your soul at ease. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, memorable getaway in the mountains!

Beautiful views, comfortable cabin

We loved our stay at Alphenglow Chalet! The house was clean and comfortable. The views were amazing. We ate every breakfast and dinner out on the deck overlooking the mountains. The house is conveniently located just up the mountain from the Gatlinburg entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We spent most of our trip exploring the park.

Perfect!

Our “exhausted moms” trip started with seeing a bear on our way to the chalet! The four of us loved the view, the twice daily visits by one of two momma bears and three cubs (between 8:30-9:30 am and 5:30-6:30 pm - like clockwork), the fireplace, the well-appointed kitchen, the comfortable beds, the hot tub, and especially the amazing views from the deck. We will *definitely* be back!

Lovely Cabin, Expansive Views & Peaceful Environment!

This was our first time/experience with renting a cabin/chalet in Gatlinburg and I have to say we absolutely loved it here. We stayed from Aug 13 to 17. and the weather was great. The chalet was very clean, updated and the views to the East were amazing looking over the Smoky Mountains! There was a trail near our chalet were we found a little hobbit house (magical ☺️). Within 5 minutes of our arrival as we were checking everything out, we saw a black bear in the path of woods below the deck. Our time here was lovely! Highly recommended!

Breathtaking Views

My family and I were so impressed with the cleanliness of Alpenglow Chalet as well as the numerous miscellaneous items provided (spices, storage bags, dry condiments, etc.). The view of the Smokies was beautiful. We utilized the deck everyday. We also saw a bear and cubs almost daily.. one even got into our car and stole snacks while we were unpacking. My family and I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this place to others to stay.

Amazing!

Highly recommended! Cozy, comfortable, immaculately clean chalet. Feels like home & is fully equipped to make all sorts of meals. The view is incredible, we spent a lot of time on upper deck playing games, eating meals, relaxing & just taking in the views! We are a small family of 3 & there was plenty of space to spread out. The basement was a real bonus area, we loved the movies, books, pool table & games.The lower deck & hot tub were great too.Our teenager (who is an artist) was absolutely thrilled to find a nice set of colored pencils to use on the shelf downstairs. We saw a bear in front of the chalet & in the driveway on several occasions. There was a mama & cubs climbing the side of a steep hill along the road going up to the chalet. The neighbors told us that there was a bear actually in our truck bed trying to get into the sliding back window (my husband accidentally left open).They shouted over from their deck to ours while we were sitting outside to let us know. The bear was gone by the time we looked, but had left a few very minor claw marks in the back seat of the truck while trying to get in (and we had no food/drinks in there either).So, make sure your windows & doors are shut/locked at all times! Also, make sure the bear proof trash container cage lock is engaged. We didn't use the outdoor grill b/c we figured the "bear bandits" would be lined up for that, lol! Enjoyed every minute of our stay & would love to return sometime! A+++

Great cabin with fantastic views

We rented this cabin for the week of Christmas and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place. The cabin is extremely well stocked with everything you might need for a week away from home. The beds were comfortable and everything was in great condition. They even had the cabin decorated for Christmas with a beautiful Christmas tree and other decor. It really helped to make our Christmas away from home that much more special. We saw a few bears roaming in the woods behind the property. Overall would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Beautiful view

clean, bright, with large windows in bedrooms and living room. Did not get a chance to use downstairs games and pool table, weather was too gorgeous to stay inside. Nicely stocked kitchen, some items were expired, no big deal. Screens definitely need replacement. Porch full of webs, poop, dead bugs. Not a deal breaker but could be cleaned for new guests. Main pluses, the view, the view, the view!!! And the bears were pretty cute!

So glad we choose Alpenglow.

The "Alpenglow Chalet" is a beautiful place to call home while on vacation. With sweeping views of the Smoky Mountains, comfortable beds, lower level game room/library, a short drive to downtown Gatlinburg/National Park entrance and BEAR sightings (we saw a mother bear and her three adolescent cubs right outside the front door) we couldn't be more pleased with our decision to stay at the "Alpenglow Chalet". Thank you Michelle for the opportunity to enjoy your home for 6 nights we loved our time there! We highly recommend it to everyone who wants a beautiful home to relax in while paying a visiting to Gatlinburg Tennessee. Sincerely, The Jotzat Family

Host profile image
We are your hosts, and we hope you choose to stay at our vacation rental Alpenglow Chalet. We know that you'll feel as at home there as we do.

We began vacationing in Gatlinburg many years ago and immediately fell in love with the area. We love the mountains, the rivers and streams, and all of the wildlife of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. After many trips to the Smokies, we decided to start looking for our own mountain home.

Our mission is to help make your vacation in the Smokies the best that it can be. We've provided everything that you'll need to enjoy yourselves while visiting Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and the Great Smoky Mountains. This is not just a vacation rental to us. It is our second home, and we love being able to share it with our guests. We truly love this place and know you will too! Enjoy exploring this site, and be sure to contact us with any questions you may have.

Why they chose this property

Prior to buying this chalet, we always rented a chalet that overlooked Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We just love all that is offered in Gatlinburg, and I love that 'in your face' Mt. Le Conte view that you can really only get in Gatlinburg. We love the quaintness of shops in The Village, all the fine restaurants on the Parkway, and the Arts and Crafts Community out East 321. And, of course, nothing can compare to being so close to the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and all that it offers. So, for us, there really wasn't a big decision to make. We wanted to be in Gatlinburg very close to the Park and with a close-up view of Mt. LeConte. Someone must have been listening because we couldn't have found any place more perfect.

What makes this property unique

Being able to see the beautiful Smoky Mountains from every room except the bathrooms and laundry room has got to be the best feature of the chalet. Both King suites, the great room and the game room have wall to wall windows to the view. It's just gorgeous. We also are so close to all of the action. It's just 2.6 miles to the main strip in Gatlinburg, 1.5 miles to Ober Gatlinburg, and 4 miles to Sugarlands Visitors Center of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The main deck is also pretty spectacular. It's big and wide and, best of all, covered so that you can enjoy the view rain or shine. This chalet is fully equipped with everything that you'll need to make your vacation spectacular.
