Keeping true to its vintage architectural heritage, it provides everything on one level with original hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, and exposed beams. The dining table comes with a leaf for expanded seating capacity, with 2 additional chairs located in the bedrooms. There is a folding card table and bench for even more seating. Also, abundant furniture is staged throughout the 2-LEVEL side deck to enjoy outdoor meals, coffee, and/or cocktails "in the woods". Local grocery and restaurant delivery services are available to all of our valued guests. This lovely chalet is conveniently located near the Gatlinburg Convention Center, the Ober Gatlinburg ski slopes, Dollywood, and Smoky Mountains National Park. It is within walking distance to Gatlinburg's famous downtown "strip" with Ripley's Aquarium, Anakeesta, Space Needle, SkyLift Park, popular shops, delicious restaurants, moonshine bars, and various entertainment. There are also trolley stops a short stroll away on East Parkway/Highway 321 that will take you all over, including Rocky Top Sports World and Gatlinburg Community Center. The Center is open year-round and offers many fun, affordable recreation options. This includes a large/heated/indoor swimming pool that is available from June to September: https://www.facebook.com/pg/GatlinburgCommunityCenter/posts/?ref=page_internal {copy/paste link}. Many guests simply park at the post office and grab a trolley from there for wherever they want to go.^ Wheelchair Accessibility ~ This is a one-story house with no entry or interior stairs to climb. However, the property is NOT officially wheelchair accessible. Sorry, No Smoking of Any Kind Allowed ~ No Cooking with Curry or Other Strong Spices Allowed as a Courtesy to Subsequent Guests Dogs Only Allowed {Please See Below for Complete Details} Our Second Gatlinburg Location {in the Popular Arts & Crafts Community} May Be Available If This Property Is Booked. Please Visit Its Web Site for Complete Details: GatlinburgCabinRetreat.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *IMPORTANT: In an effort to reduce the overwhelming inquiries we receive about availability, rates, holiday premiums, minimum nights required during certain holidays, and location, PLEASE check here {everything posted IS correct and current} and read ALL of the details posted below PRIOR to contacting us. We are always happy to promptly answer any OTHER questions. Or, please let us know if/when you are ready to book a reservation. We will then send you an itemized total to review that reflects exactly what is posted here. {Online booking is not available}. Due to time constraints, frivolous inquiries ~ generic, those with no message, those that actually ask if we charge per guest {as clearly posted, we charge by the night, just like hotels}, those that request information already posted, those that request a "quote"/"total"/"final price" {just multiply the number of nights by the posted rate, add the posted tax, add the posted cleaning charge, add the posted REFUNDABLE damage deposit, and add any applicable holiday premium/pet fee}, and those that request a rate reduction are DELETED. As stated above, all posted reservation costs are clearly detailed {in the ZellePay/PayPal invoices} for guests to review PRIOR to paying. Thank you! **HOLIDAY PREMIUMS: We add $50 {$100 if BOTH Christmas Eve or Day and New Year's Eve or Day are included} to EACH night of the reservation if it includes, INCLUDING check-out day, ANY Federal {see https://www.archives.gov/news/federal-holidays if not sure what they are} or Popular holiday. Popular holidays include Valentine's Day {$100 if BOTH Valentine's Day and Washington's Birthday are included}, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's/Father's Day, Halloween, etc. Again, this is for "EACH night of the reservation", NOT just the holidays. The above Holiday Premiums also apply if the reservation is part of a HOLIDAY WEEKEND whether the actual holiday is included or not. Holiday Premiums non-negotiable. {The posted rates do NOT include Holiday Premiums}. ***PLEASE NOTE: There is a 4 NIGHT MINIMUM if EASTER, MEMORIAL DAY, JULY 4TH, LABOR DAY, COLUMBUS DAY, or VETERANS DAY is included, even on check-out day. There is a 6 NIGHT MINIMUM if THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS EVE/DAY, or NEW YEAR'S EVE/DAY is included, even on check-out day. Minimum nights are also non-negotiable. Check-in can commence on any day of the week, if available, and we do not charge extra for weekends. Check-in time is 4:00 P.M. {never earlier as a courtesy to our cleaning staff} and check-out time is 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time, OR guest can choose a 6:00 P.M. check-in and a 1:00 P.M. check-out. The later option must be chosen BEFORE the rental agreement is drafted. BOOKING FEES: Unlike large online vacation rental sites, we do not charge any "Booking Fee" or "Service Fee" when booking directly through us with Venmo or ZellePay. There is no "middle man" that requires a ridiculous commission! {Please see below for additional details}. CLEANING CHARGE: There is a standard departure Cleaning Charge of $200 {recently increased in order to retain quality cleaners} added to each reservation for this 3 bedroom/2 bathroom property. ALL vacation rentals have a cleaning fee in addition to their posted rates. PET FEE: Dogs Only Allowed {MUST Be Completely House-Broken, Totally Flea-Free, Very Well-Behaved, & Crated When Left Alone If Necessary} ~ $50 per Dog. There is No Limit on the Amount of Dogs, the Size of Dogs, the Weight of Dogs, or the Breed of Dogs. Please Disclose if You Will Have a Dog{s} When You Submit Your Initial Inquiry. TAX: 14% {Rentals that do not charge this mandatory city/county/state total tax are illegal and NOT licensed or regulated}. REFUNDABLE DAMAGE DEPOSIT: 25% of the base rental amount or $250, whichever is greater {double for foreign guests}. This is standard policy of virtually all ZellePay and PayPal merchants since, as further explained below, we do not obtain our guests' confidential credit card information as collateral. DEPOSITS: To keep our rates competitive, we must keep our administrative costs low. Therefore, the full rental amount is due to confirm a reservation. PAYMENT OPTIONS: Due to popular demand, we accept 3 convenient payment options ~ ZellePay {FREE to guest}, Wire Transfer {$15 to guest}, and PayPal {3% to guest but still MUCH cheaper than what vacation rental sites charge that averages 12%}. Since the merchant {property owner} NEVER sees the user's {guest's} bank account or credit card information, the user's data can NOT be hacked! Additionally, since all merchants are thoroughly and regularly vetted, there are NO safer or more secure payment methods on the planet. Never provide your credit card information online to a third party {management company/vacation rental site} that charges you fees AND has unlimited access to make unauthorized charges to your account, which are extremely difficult to contest. DISCOUNTS: Our best rates are those posted and are FIRM. We do not offer any "last minute" deals, specials, or government/military discounts {although we love and appreciate those who serve!}. Rate reduction requests are automatically considered generic. Such inquiries are reported as SPAM, blocked from the system, and immediately deleted. Accordingly, we kindly ask all travelers to please respect our posted rates. Thank you. ^LOCATION: This chalet is located on West Loop Road. For obvious privacy/security/safety reasons, we never disclose the street number to strangers over the Internet. It is, of course, specified on the rental agreement. Please Google or MapQuest distances to points of personal interest {downtown, restaurants, shops, attractions, buildings, hiking trails, ski slopes, etc.} from the property's road. We are just not able to provide these types of concierge services, due to the high volume of requests we receive daily from potential guests. We appreciate your understanding. Please note that since the chalet is situated on a mountain, a 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle is recommended, particularly during snowy weather. The property is located within Gatlinburg city limits, so its PAVED road gets plowed on a regular basis when it snows! We have an additional dog-friendly 3 bedroom/2 bathroom cabin in Gatlinburg that sleeps 8 {3 queen beds, a queen-size sleeper sofa, and a queen-size air mattress}. It is located in the popular Arts & Crafts community. Also, it is NOT on a mountain, so is easily accessible by any type of vehicle year-round. Please visit its Web site for complete property details: GatlinburgCabinRetreat.com OCCUPANCY: The non-negotiable posted 8 person maximum that this property sleeps/allows {per fire code} obviously includes children of ALL ages. If your group will exceed this limit, you will need to book a different property or book an additional property. Please be aware that there are, of course, exterior cameras surrounding the property that document the ingress/egress of all occupants/pets. The violation of any rule will result in immediate eviction and/or forfeiture of all monies paid, including damage deposit. Thank you for your understanding and compliance. LICENSING: We are fully-licensed {current city/county/state license/permit numbers available upon request} and regulated by the State of Tennessee. Additionally, we are fully-insured and inspected annually by the Gatlinburg Fire Department. Always confirm that whatever property you want to rent is legal and properly licensed BEFORE you pay anything. This is for your own protection and will assure that you have a great, hassle-free, and SAFE vacation. GUEST COMMENTS: Negative reviews cannot be deleted or edited. Accordingly, we certify that everything posted here is 100% authentic. Please excuse any typos, etc. Reviews are from several sites, some of which always show the first day of the review month. Public responses are only posted from certain sites. Any lengthy gaps between reviews are because the property was owner-occupied, had long-term tenants, was closed due to COVID-19, or the guest just did not get a chance to return the Feedback form before the cut-off date. Please note that we are award-winning {"Super Host" & "Premier Partner"} owners, due to our consistent 5-star property reviews. SIGNED RENTAL AGREEMENT: Must be properly executed and returned within 48-hours of being sent, or reservation will not be honored and no refund will be provided. The primary guest who signs the rental agreement {current physical address required for it} must be at least 25 years of age {proof required via valid/current government-issued photo ID; passport/visa for foreign guests}, or reservation will not be honored and no refund will be provided. Please be aware that we reserve the right to decline travelers with poor language, communication, and/or reading skills for obvious reasons. ~ Always Rent OWNER-DIRECT if you desire prompt and excellent service that a management company is rarely able and/or willing to provide. Also, this way you will avoid paying the huge "Service Fee", etc., that large vacation rental sites charge, while using unsafe/third-party/overseas payment system software {i.e., Yapstone's "RentPayment"} that gets hacked. Please Google it for current class-action lawsuit details. Additionally, be aware that management companies are able to manipulate reviews on their sites by posting fraudulent ones and only the good ones {if any} from guests. ~ Check Out Our Other Outstanding Vacation Rental Properties in Big Sky, Montana and Palm Beach, Florida: AffordableRents.com
