About this property

Baby Bear Tracks mtn retreat great views! King bed pool hot tubs sauna. Promos!

Wake up to majestic mountain views! This is a beautiful vacation condo we call Baby Bear Tracks. Updated with new recessed lighting and pine tongue and groove walls to make it feel like a cabin! Enjoy granite countertops in a stocked kitchen complete with Keurig and traditional coffee maker for meals with your loved ones.
Looking for a romantic or simply peaceful relaxing getaway or a flexcation? Our condo is in a highly desirable complex with a resort atmosphere called High Chalet on top of a mountain overlooking Ober Ski Resort and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It is so close to all the fun in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge yet in its own world on top of the mountain!
This unit is easy to get in and out of with 4 small sidewalk steps at the front of the entrance to the building or just walk over a grassy berm at the left side. A mama bear and her cubs visit regularly. There is an awesome view of the mountains, and the tram going into Ober Ski Resort. There are two bedrooms with queen beds that are quite comfy too. We are doing all we can to make this a special place and many of our guests visit time and time again. Also if you have a larger group and want condos close together, contact me for information on reserving other units in the complex that belong to us or to our neighbors.
Sit on your patio first thing in the morning to enjoy a cup of coffee and the sunrise and spectacular views of the mountains. I counted 18 turkeys one morning and have seen several bears at one time in the yard by the patio. Always keep a good distance away from them.
Enjoy the pool (Memorial Day until Labor Day) and relax in a nice warm hot tub or sauna in the pool area. There is also a nice game room with TV next to the pool. Nestle into the sofa recliner to read a book or to check your social media. If you need a place to work while on a "flexcation" you have hi speed internet that is designated for this condo. As you unwind from a day of sightseeing or shopping, enjoy your favorite shows on the big screen TV. The instant start electric fireplace will lend a nice atmosphere for your evening!
The condo is near The Smoky Mountain National Park and Ober Mountain, and it is just a short drive down the mountain to the national park entrance where you can experience the beauty via an auto tour or by hiking one of the many trails to a waterfall, or to panoramic overlooks. Spend the day in Gatlinburg where you will find boutiques, fudge shops, dining, shows, museums, Anakeesta, the Skybridge and Ripley's Aquarium. Nearby Pigeon Forge hosts Dollywood Theme Park and a splash park, outlet shopping, live shows, museums, helicopter tours and amusement fun for kids of all ages!
High Chalet Condos are in the Chalet Village area near the top of Ski Mountain and they offer beautiful mountain views as you walk along the grounds. The condo is only about a mile from Ober Mountain which offers year-round family fun and it is a short 15-minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg. Be aware that bears often cross the road so drive carefully. Even though our road is one of the main roads up the mountain, it is winding and steep at times so be sure to be alert when going up and down. You get used to it I promise. Once in the complex you will find parking near the entrance to the walkway to our unit. There are four short steps down the sidewalk to get to our ground floor level unit, or if you go to the end of the building there are no steps but there is a small grassy berm to walk over.
We also have another 2 bedroom nearby, at vrbo 653549 If you check there, you will see that we also have excellent reviews! We aim to keep both our units nice, pretty and clean. Check in is at 4pm and check out is at 10 am. This gives our cleaning crew time to get things fresh and clean between guests.
Please note: We do not accept last minute bookings, they must be completed at least 3 days prior to arrival in order to process payment. Thank you. The Hoblits

Cute condo with a gorgeous view! The beds were a bit soft (which isn’t our preference) but were in excellent condition, and the owners were great with communication. The shower liner in the en suite bathroom needed a little cleaning, but otherwise the condo was very clean. I’d definitely recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay. The property is in the 2nd last community to the top of the mountain. The view is great. Driving up and down is a little adventure. After seeing my college graduating boy driving up and down a few times, I feel confident to release him to be fully independent. :)

It was fine, but the condo was dark, low ceilings, and only had a tiny patio that barely fit two chairs, no leg room. You really could not enjoy the outdoor space. The hot tub was across the parking lot and needed to be heated up for at least two hours.
Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 7 May 2026
We are sorry the condo wasnt what you expected. It is clearly shown in the photos, has standard ceilings like all condos in the complex and room darkening curtains which can easily be opened to allow the sun to shine in. There is ample lighting as well. There are 2 hot tubs and if one has been refilled it takes a while to warm up but the other should have been hot. Most complexes have the hot tubs in the pool area not next to each condo. The pool area is at the entrance to our complex. You might want to look for a cabin in the future since it sounds like that may have been what you were expecting.

This condo is roomy clean and well equipped. We saw a bear in back of the condo around 7 one morning. Exciting! We saw other bears in other spots a little lower down the mountain.It was beautiful scenery. Karen was helpful and easy to communicate with.It takes about 20 minutes to get up to the condo from downtown because you have to go slow to be safe. We hiked to waterfalls, went horseback riding at Cades Cove stable, excellent, and attended the Dolly Parton stampede dinner,-the meal was good- Dollywood and Anakeesta all beautiful and fun.Thanks again Karen

This is a perfect location for a mountain getaway. The view of Mt Leconte from our living room and bedrooms was perfect. It's a nice and quiet neighborhood. Karen was so sweet in recommending we take the Gatlinburg Bypass to get to this condo as the more direct way from downtown Gatlinburg is fairly steep. It's about 15 minutes from downtown, which was just the right amount of distance.All in all it was a great trip and we enjoyed staying in Karen's place.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Hoblit

Host profile image
As a child growing up in middle Tennessee one of my favorite things to do was to go to the Smokies! I used to love wading the creeks, hiking up trails to waterfalls and watching candy makers stretch taffy in the candy shops in Gatlinburg. It was like being in a fantasy world. It took us away from all the chores at home and school.
As an adult I have traveled to many places both in and out of our country and I still rank the Smoky Mountains as one of those places where you love to come back to, over and over again. There is always something new to see and experience. It takes me back to a slower time where people were more into nature and just sitting on the front porch soaking up the view.

Why they chose this property

This is a small quiet complex high above the crowds of Gatlinburg. You can enjoy the mountain scenery and wildlife up here, yet be within a few minutes of downtown. The property grounds are well kept and many of the units are privately owned rather than vacation rentals so there is much less traffic coming and going into the complex.

What makes this property unique

The beauty of the Smoky Mountains is always changing, some mornings the clouds drift below you while you sip coffee on the balcony yet other days you may see a bear or two wandering along the parking lots. It is a world away from the busy rat race of daily life and a quiet retreat for families and couples.
