Located in Chalet Village, Take It Easy is nestled on the side of a mountain with BEAUTIFUL forest and seasonal views of Mt. Le Conte, and close to all the action. This spacious 2 bedroom luxurious A Frame Chalet has high-speed WiFi internet, a hot-tub, a game table with pool and air hockey, a barrel arcade unit, and access to 3 community pools from Memorial Day to Labor Day. When you walk in, you are welcomed with beautiful architecture that is tastefully lit and designed with log furniture. At the other end of the chalet is a wall of windows that opens to the forest or seasonal mountain view of Mt LeConte, as well as the outside deck area. There is also a stunning spiral staircase that takes you to the upstairs bedroom or downstairs to the game area.
The main level has the fully stocked kitchen, two tables that each seat 4 people, full size L shape sleeper sofa in the living room, a big screen TV with surround sound and an electric fire place. You will also find a king size bedroom and a full bath with shower.
Walking up the spiral staircase you will get yourself to the bridge that connects to the other kingsize bedroom which also includes its own full size bathroom with shower, 2 lounger chairs and a big screen TV. Wake up in the morning, pull back the custom designed privacy curtains and you will watch the sunrise over Mt Leconte! The architecture in this room is stunning!
Walking back down the staircase gets you to the bottom level which is where you will find the game room and a queen size sleeper sofa. This is where the Foosball table, arcade table, and mini fridge with sink is found. Try to find the secret door to the hidden kid room with their own TV, mini recliners, and lego game table! If you can't find the door, your kids will crawl through the secret Bear Cub cave to let themselves in.
