Perfect Getaway!

The property was exactly what we were looking for. It was quiet, relaxing, and nature was abundant as we saw so many black bears come onto the property. Beautiful views of the sky at night. The roads up are a little sketchy but we took our time and got around safely.

Spring Break

We loved staying in your Chalet for our spring break trip. It was spacious and comfortable for our family. All amenities we needed were available and the pool table was a big hit with our 15 year old twins. The highlight of our stay was seeing a bear and her 3 cubs come down the mountain and across the stream.

Alpine Chalet

First I want to start with the positives. Steve is an excellent host. His communication is better than any house we’ve ever stayed at. The location is perfect! Close to Gatlinburg but secluded and quiet, nestled in the mountains. There is a house next door but we barely saw the people who stayed there. Coffee on the upstairs deck every morning was a highlight. And we saw bears…a mama and her 3 cubs. I do think there is some room for improvement here. We stayed in August. The humidity level downstairs in the bedrooms was awful! And there’s only 1 small dehumidifier, which we ran non-stop. It didn’t help. All of our clothes smelled musty when we unpacked at home. There are a lot of appliances in the kitchen, but not enough pots and pans. I struggled to cook dinner for 3 people. And the pots and pans that were there desperately needed replaced. I understand that this is a rental and people don’t take care of pots and pans at a rental, but this should be taken into account. Also, the fireplace smell upstairs is pretty intense. It seems like it needs cleaned out. This place has a lot of potential but needs some TLC.

Relaxing Family Vacation

This was first time at this property. Owner was great to communicate with and did so promptly. You are away from the noise to relax and lots to do at the residence, but close enough any activities including downtown Gatlinburg in 10 minutes, Pigeon Forge 15-20 minutes away. Amenities were great. Pools were an easy drive to get to and very nice. Would recommend this to families especially with older kids and teens. Also if you don’t want to get out Doordash delivers. Very handy!

Wonderful cabin the woods

We had a wonderful 5 nights at this cabin! We met family from out of town and thoroughly enjoyed the quaint and quiet neighborhood! The drive up the mountain is fun and very hilly! And we got to see so many bears while staying here! Lock your cars! The hot tub was so relaxing after walking all day in town! Beds are comfortable and having laundry is wonderful! We will be back for sure!

Family Time

To future renters of Cedarbrook Chalet,please be aware in advance of VERY HEAVY BEAR ACTIVITY! We did not receive advance warning until the first morning of our stay when we received an email stating this fact. There were bears everywhere, at the Club pool on S. Baden and even in fact on our deck by the hot tub . We arrived on 6-2-23 and were supposed to stay till 6-8-23 however after several close ( within 20 feet ) encounters I have pictures and videos of one tried unsuccessfully to get into our truck cab. We called the landlord and told him then it happened on Wednesday morning we got up and saw a mother bear and 3 cubs and the mother had ripped oour truck tonneau trying to gain entry, again we called and reported it to the landlord and informed him we were leaving 3 days early, we never ask for any payment for damages because that's what our insurance is for however we did ask for the 3 day refund which he flatly refused!!! We did not follow every departure step as we very hurriedly gathered our things and left before the bear could do more damages. The Chalet itself was fine but take a warning In Advance, keep an eye on your children and property as it's on you.

Perfect location

Loved this property! It was a super short drive to downtown Gatlinburg, Ober, and still fairly quick to get to Pigeon Forge, yet it was far enough from the chaos of Gatlinburg to be quiet and restful. It was convenient enough that we could go back to the chalet for breaks during the day. My family really enjoyed having a pool table and separate bedrooms. The space was clean and comfortable. If you plan to do much cooking I do recommend bringing a few of your own basic cookware. Pots and pans are provided, but like most rental properties guests are rough on them so it is nice to have backup.

Beautiful Cabin

The owner was very accommodating for our group. The home was immaculate when we arrived and very comfortable. The owner provided everything we needed for a week long vacation. The only downside was how steep the driveway is, my SUV barely made it up it. That was no fault of the owners though, I needed new tires and I didn't know that prior. Beautiful scenery.

We were looking for a place in the mountains where we had access to leisurely recreation and enjoy where we were staying. Chalet Village fit the bill. Minutes from Gatlinburg's downtown and a great house, we enjoyed the long weekend even with rain in the forecast.

It wasn’t bad and we liked seeing bears but couldn’t enjoy outside time or the hot tub

It was a nice place the top stayed 20 degrees warmer than the bottom. The bears were everywhere. Couldn’t let our kids out to play or enjoy the hot tub. There were dead flies and June bugs in the beds.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Baker

Hi, I'm Steve Baker, the owner of Cedarbrook. I was born in New Jersey, but have discovered there's no place like East Tennessee. I am on the road quite often, but can always count on great R&R every time I can visit this chalet in the Smoky Mountains.

Why they chose this property

I have discovered that Gatlinburg is one of the most unique places I have ever been. It borders the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. And it exhibits a mountain character that is preserved in time. My chalet is located on a mountainside in the city limits called Chalet Village. This village contains hundreds of unique chalets and log homes. Every home is unique in its design. This has been the perfect area to own a home

What makes this property unique

The biggest benefit is the incredible peace and serenity of sitting on the deck and listening to the stream next to the chalet and looking out over the beautiful mountainside scenery. Perhaps the biggest thrill is watching bears that often stroll along the road and along the creek beds.
