Elevate your corporate gatherings with Mountain Laurel Chalets, where business meets the breathtaking beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. Located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, our portfolio of vacation rentals is ideal for your team's next offsite meeting or retreat.
Our properties are just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They offer spacious rooms, modern amenities, and beautiful mountain views. Here, you can find both productivity and inspiration.
Our large-group cabins are perfect for a strategy session, a team-building event, or a leadership summit. Or, if you need a more targeted small group planning retreat, we have cabins to meet those needs as well.
Chances are good you won't even feel like you're working when you're doing so in one of America's most gorgeous natural settings. Let the majestic Smokies inspire creativity and foster collaboration as your team escapes the everyday office environment. We have over 52 years of experience in property management, and we can help you plan a great corporate event.
Stepping out of your usual work environment can ignite creativity and strengthen team bonds. When you spend time in a fresh setting like the Smoky Mountains, you open doors to new ideas and deeper connections.
This change of scenery does more than inspire. It helps your team interact in a relaxed setting. This encourages open dialogue and builds stronger relationships.
By investing in these out-of-office experiences, you are not just taking a break. You are also encouraging innovation, improving problem-solving skills, and building a stronger company culture.
Our spacious Gatlinburg chalets accommodate both large group sessions and intimate breakout discussions. These versatile venues provide:
- Open areas for team-wide brainstorming and presentations
- Cozy nooks for small focus groups and strategy sessions
- Comfortable living spaces for informal networking and relaxation

Mountain Laurel Chalets offers both individual large-group properties in a variety of sizes and price points (the largest, Laurel Lodge, comfortably sleeps 24 guests), as well as what we affectionately refer to as "MLC Neighborhoods." These neighborhoods are simply clusters of Gatlinburg cabin rentals that are within easy walking distance of one another. Neighborhoods provide an excellent alternative to individual large-group properties; guests enjoy more personal space while still maintaining a sense of community, and the amenities and shared spaces are multiplied.
By choosing Mountain Laurel Chalets for your corporate retreat, you're investing in a memorable and productive experience that will energize your team and foster innovation. Book your Gatlinburg corporate retreat today and take your team's collaboration to new heights!
Each neighborhood is located on Ski Mountain in the heart of Gatlinburg, convenient to the national park, downtown Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge.
