About this property

Great Ober Mtn Views! Comfy 1st floor mtn retreat with a cabin feel! 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 Gatlinburg 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

Mornings above the clouds

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.

Best Communication

The welcome email had all of the details that we would need for our stay. The directions were very helpful and easy to follow. We came in when it was dark so her directions were much better than the gps directions we followed the next day when it was light. Any questions I had were promptly answered and problems resolved with a simple text. The views were stunning. It was a quiet property with ample room for me and my two teenage boys.

Mountain Vacation

The ride up and down the mountain is a bit crazy with the winding road, but you do get used to it if your drive into town daily. We were sitting on the patio drinking coffee and watching a beautiful sunrise and a bear family came out of the woods and crossed the yard a few feet in front of us.

Perfect mountain stay

We loved our time here so much. It was the perfect place to truly be in the mountains. Beautiful views and we got a visit from a mama bear with 2 cubs. We were able to get Beautiful pictures of them from the safety of the windows. Mama came right up to the windows and porch to check us out as the cubs wrestled.. it really just put the trip over the top for us, to be able to have that experience and i dont rhink we would have gotten that if we had stayed elsewhere. The owners were great about communication. The condo is very nice and super comfortable. Try to come up the mountain for the first time during the daylight. After a couple of trips, it wasnt as intimidating lol. We are hikers and enjoyed the many trails the smokys has to offer while here.

Decent Little Condo

We enjoyed our stay ay Karen's condo. It was very clean and had everything we need for a long weekend trip. The beds were comfortable and the view was very pretty. The drive up is quite the trek but location wise it was convenient to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Only negative was the people in the condo above were fairly noisy. Not sure if they were permanent residents or just renting as well. Overall we would stay here again.

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.

First, we were given excellent directions in regards to the best roads to take up the mountain! Very grateful for this as is saved wear and tear on our vehicle. Second, condo was very clean, plenty of extra linens and fully stocked with needed kitchen items for cooking! Finally, the views from the back patio are incredible.

Amazing stay!

I loved baby bear tracks! It was such a nice place with an amazing view. My daughter loved the pool, hot tub and the little game room they had with a couple of games... its in a great area, about 15 minutes from downtown gatlinburg which was very convenient. We even got to see bears out ok the road twice when we were driving up and down the mountain. I had messaged Karen prior to the trip and she responded quick and answered any questions i had, i will definitely be returning!! 100 percent worth it.

Awesome Condo!

Our family went for a quick Spring Break stay and the condo was exactly what you see online. Karen sent an email with all the info that was needed for the stay a few days before our trip and everything went smooth. The condo was as far up the mountain as you can get and the views were amazing. The condo was super clean and easy to find and there was plenty of parking that was just outside the front door. I would recommend renting this condo to anyone and we will come back for another visit in the future.

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.
