Near Ski Lodge / Hot Tub/ wifi/ pool table & Ping Pong / Fireplace

Bear Paws - Located just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, the Ober Gatlinburg Ski Lodge and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. 'Bear Paws' is about 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg in the Chalet Village community.

The large wooded lot provides excellent beauty and noise is practically non-existent in this area. The chalet is a beautiful 3 story modified A-Frame with 3 full levels. You will enjoy 2 wood burning fireplaces ( 1 in the main living room and 1 one in the rec. room). 4 private bedrooms to accommodate 8 guests comfortably. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level and 2 bedrooms upstairs. 1 full bath on each level. The lower level has a huge rec. room with pool table, ping pong table, plenty of lounge seating, cable tv and a wood burning fireplace.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessary appliances including stove/oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster etc. All cook ware and plate ware is provided. Towels and linens are provided as well. All you need to supply are the groceries. (Or skip the cooking while you are on vacation and enjoy one of the fantastic restaurants in downtown Gatlinburg).

Just out back and tucked under a covered gazebo, is the 4 - 6 seater hot tub to soak your cares away after a busy day.

About 2 miles away is Ober Gatlinburg, a beautiful ski resort with excellent ski slopes, a large indoor ice skating rink, restaurants, lounges and even a bear zoo. The aerial tram to Ober Gatlinburg takes you directly to the heart of downtown in 15 minutes and can be seen from the chalet as it passes overhead.

Guests at Bear Paws also have access to three seasonal clubhouses located within the Chalet Village community, each offering pools, tennis courts, and other amenities (open from Memorial Day through Labor Day). While these clubhouses are part of the same community, driving times can vary from 10 to 15 minutes,

Gaitlinburg mountains stay

Great all around experience. My family really enjoyed themselves and the property was as described in the lisiting. We saw bears everyday of our stay which just added to the experience. Check in, stay and check out was so simple, we had a small hiccup with the WiFi and called them and they were awesome.

Youth conference trip

We were there for 2 nights and it was awesome. The kids loved the pool room and the hot tub. It was small but it didn't feel crowded. Just the right amount of room for us. Great kitchen space for the size and plenty of room to hang out.

Great family vacation!

We had a great stay at Bear Paws! We have two 16 year olds and a 20 year old. Everyone had their own room and plenty of bathrooms available for all. We played pool and ping pong and used the hot tub almost every night. It was a great location- short drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Staying in the mountains was a unique experience that everyone enjoyed! It was a perfect place for our family!

We had a great time. Bear visits every day! Lock your vehicles and dont leave food in them. The house was very roomy and the teenagers loved the space, the pool table and ping pong table. The decks got lots of use as well. Wonderful time.

This place was perfect for our family. Lock your doors because yes bears can open them. Lesson learned. However we did see a bear the next day and watched it I think that was best part of vacation.

Great Family Place

This place was perfect for our family. We had a wonderful time. The only drawback would be the hot tub. It was very unlevel. Some of the jets didn't work and the ones that did were not strong. Other than that, we had zero complaints.

Lovey, but Bathrooms need to be Cleaner

Large comfortable beds and great amenities! No crazy checkout procedures, which was appreciated. However the showers on the 2nd and 3rd floor were not clean and no one in the party felt comfortable using them. The outlets are unreliable as not all of them work and the handrail by the stairs was loose/ broken.

2nd time with friends

I've enjoyed this cabin 2 years in a row with plans to keep coming back. There is plenty of room for everyone to hang out together. Close to everything. May be one of the older cabins that could use a little upgrading (mainly the deck). We've seen multiple bears on this trip. One of them right in the driveway

Great Mountain House for the Family

Loved the house, the location is nice but at least one of the roads getting up the mountain is a little scary and I'm not sure how two way traffic would be possible. But that has nothing to do with the house itself. The house was clean and had a nice hot tub, pool table and ping pong table (all of which got good use from the grown kids). We also got to see a momma bear and her cubs hanging out. Lots of space to spread out which we loved. The upstairs is a bit warm but we left a box fan for the next family:) We had a great time.
