About this property

Fantastic Mtn Views! Comfy 1st floor mtn retreat! New low rates!

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 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

Wonderful!

Very clean, family friendly stay! We saw not one but two bears from the comfort (and safe distance) from the porch! The grounds of the property were also nice and the pool was very refreshing after a day exploring the trails. The kitchen was great for preparing meals (loved the deep sink!). All in all, 5 stars!

Clean, Cozy and Full of Smoky Mountain Magic!

We had an incredible stay in the Smoky Mountains! The condo is perched high up on the mountain and offers absolutely stunning views—even from the bottom floor. The drive up was surprisingly easy, even in our minivan, and the location couldn’t have been better.Inside, the condo had a cozy, cabin-like feel and was exceptionally clean. The beds were super comfortable, and everything felt warm and inviting. The kids especially loved the game room and had a blast in the small but refreshing pool.We saw bears multiple times right from our balcony and windows, and there were lots of adorable bunnies hopping around the property—which our kids loved!The owner was very communicative and quick to respond, though we had zero issues during our stay. For the price, this place is an absolute gem. We would definitely stay here again!

This was such a a beautiful spot for a cozy Christmas vacation. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. My daughter almost didn't believe me when I told her there was a sea of clouds the first morning we were there and was in awe of the view.

Enjoyed our stay!

Our stay was perfect in every way. The place was clean, comfortable, safe and came with a great view! We enjoyed patio sunrises and sunsets, cooking in, hot tub and sauna, mama bear and 2 cubs sighting, and the overall quietness of the area. The road up and down was not a problem and there was little traffic in the area, unlike the city traffic we encountered. It was easy to get to the park or Gatlinburg in a matter of minutes.

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.
