Mountain Hideaway was perfect!
Our family keeps growing and we have to keep getting more rooms. This was perfect. The basement had 2 full size beds in the bedroom and my teenage boys had their own bed. All rooms had their own bathrooms which was great. Highly recommended this chalet. The visited but we didn’t get to see him. He left paw prints on one of the trucks.

Mountain Hideaway - A wonderful place to stay in the Smokies!
Mountain Hideaway is an exceptionally nice property. Our entire family from grandparents to grandchildren enjoyed staying here. The property is conveniently located and boasts a spectacular view of the Smoky Mountains. The property is well maintained and in great condition overall. It is large and roomy and has up to date appliances and fixtures making it a very comfortable home away from home. And, as always, the Mountain Laurel team was a pleasure to work with. We would recommend this property and Mountain Laurel Chalets to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the Smokies!

Mountain Hideaway was amazing!
From the time we made our reservation till the time we checked out, everything was amazing. The staff and service at Mountain Laurel us second to none and this house, as well as the other 3 we have stayed in, did not disappoint. The house is spacious and all bedrooms have their own bathrooms. The seating was plentiful and comfortable for 6 adults. The house was clean and we had everything we needed for the 4 day stay. A+ rating.

We had a great time playing pool, building fires in the fireplace, watching movies in the theater room and cooking delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen. The proximity of the cabin to Ober Gatlinburg’s ice skating rink was a definite plus.. The staff at Mt. Laurel Chalets is friendly, helpful, and very professional.

The cabin was spacious for 9 including 5 adults, 2 young adults and 1 teen. Unlike many cabins we observed, our view of the mountains was not obscured. We could watch the clouds continually changing over the mountains. Caution: one must be compatible to nearby and frequent bear traffic.

Yes, Mountain Hideaway is the perfect place for a multiple family vacation where everyone still has enough room.

Absolutely the best cabin I have stayed in. Mt. Laurel makes everything very simple. This cabin has everything for a perfect vacation. Easy access, plenty of parking, plenty of space inside and the porch is amazing. We had several occasions were the bears would visit with the highlight being mama bear and three Cubs.

We only stay with MT LAUREL CHALETS and as usual everybody was friendly. The Mountain Hideaway was nice and had plenty of room for 8 adults and 2 children. We had a bear visit us twice we one visit lasting over half an hour. Would recommend this chalet to family and friends.

Thanks for the review and we are glad your family enjoyed Mountain Hideaway and appreciate any recommendation. Satisfied customers are our best advertising! This cabin is a favorite with so many amenities and the great location being 10 minutes to downtown and 5 minutes to the pools in summer and the ski lodge in winter. The bears are always a treat and are a frequent visitor to the cabin. We try to tell everyone to make sure to lock their cars doors so they don't get a bear visitor. They are curious and don't listen very well when you ask them to move on. We hope to see you back in the Smokies soon.

Beautiful!
From the moment that we entered the cabin upon arrival we were in love! The cabin smelled so fresh and clean. There was everything needed to cook with the exception of spices. We had two families staying and there was still plenty of space for us to spread out. The kids had a blast watching movies at the end of our day in the movie room, but honestly most days we were all too tired from the days adventures. Overall beautiful well cared for cabin that we will rent again next time we come down!

Beautiful newer home with amazing mountain view
Peaceful location surrounded by nature but very close to Gatlinburg. Loved the full size washer and dryer - Kitchen is completely ready for meal preparation with high quality pans/skillets and dishes. Nice flat parking for several vehicles, which isn't always the case when renting a place on the mountain. Property is well taken care of and it is obvious the owner's care about a quality experience. Excellent customer service - no issues - cannot wait to stay again!

Great house. Service was lacking
House is clean and looks great, beds are decent. The fridge and freezer side by side was not working properly. We bought some food and put it in freezer. Woke the next morning to unthawled food. Fire system had an alarm go off one evening. I had to go to the breaker box and turn the breaker off that powered it just to get it to stop. If you need anything extra it's a 10 minute trip down the hill to the office. They left no extra trash bags or rolls of toilet paper. I'm guessing some of that is due to covid, the bothersome part is the trip to the office. We were supposed to have a small bundle of firewood to light a fire. They must have forget and the previous renter didn't use 2 pieces. When I called to ask where the firewood was and a working lighter or matches to start it, I was told to come down to the office to get it. Not the end of the world, but when your with your family and ready to settle in for the day with a meal and a fire is not convenient. The hot tub was nice, the hand railing blocks your view of the mountains while sitting in the hot tub. The views are pretty nice. Especially early morning. There is no great place to put the hot tub cover so you just sit it on the patio. There is no place to really hang a towel or robe if needed. The theater room is cool. The elevated floor is a great idea but it makes it very tight for the back row of chairs to recline so you are hitting the back of the front chairs. The showers and baths were fine. The kitchen was nice. We tried to light a fire and that was a struggle. The wood they give is very hard to keep lit. Not sure why but it seemed green. To have an upstairs fire you need to have a downstairs fire going first for proper venting. So we spent hours trying to get a fire going and had very little success. We did have some great meals and family time playing games in the evening so we enjoyed the house. This house is listed under luxury but I think it's lack in attention to some details takes from that.
Curtis M. - Posted: 1/9/2021
Thanks for the review and we appreciate your comments. We are doing things a little differently due to covid, such as laundry exchange and extra paper products not being handed out of our laundry at the office. We don't like it either and will be glad when things go back to normal. Firewood is not delivered to the cabins unless you place an order for 10 or more bundles. Otherwise, it is available at the office to be picked up. We do offer large chalets with gas fireplaces if that might work better for you. Not sure what happened to the refrigerator overnight, but fortunately the maintenance man was able to reset it and it started working right away. The fire alarm system is working, but is being serviced by the homeowner next month to be sure everything is working properly.

Majestic Mountain View
Mountain Hideaway is a lovely and spacious house that accommodated our family of 9 for a Christmas gathering. The view of the mountains is spectacular. It was great to watch movies in the theater room on the very comfortable reclining chairs. A few things could be improved. We were there a few days before Christmas and there were no Christmas decorations, which was disappointing. Also, the windows on the mountain side hadn't been cleaned in a while and it would have been nice to have a clean look at the spectacular view. Also, it would be nice to have more than one towel per person. Overall, it's a great house to spend a vacation.
Cassandra B. - Posted: 12/17/2020
Thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Mountain Hideaway. I'm sorry if you expected to have Christmas decorations in the chalet. Not all of our homeowners provide decorations, but a few do and you are welcome to bring your own. We would be happy to give you a list of the houses that decorate for the holidays the next time you come. The high windows in the living room are a challenge to keep clean because of the driving rain we get with the storms that come through the mountains with high winds. We hope you are able to return to the Smokies soon.

Perfect family getaway!
We enjoyed a perfect getaway with our family. The weather was perfect and the view was spectacular. The leaves were green, red, and yellow—breath taking!
We played pool, grilled outside, ate outside, took walks, watched movies in the movie room, built fires, and relaxed in this beautiful setting. Thank you for a lovely mini vacation! Mountain Laurel Chalets provided excellent customer service!,

Kathryn, sounds like a perfect weekend to me! There are so many great features at Mountain Hideaway, with plenty of room to spread out, not to even mention the VIEW! The leaves were peaking in the mountains last week, so your timing was perfect and the weather has been picture perfect. We hope you will be able to escape to the mountains again soon.

FABULOUS
This home went above my expectations and I am not an easy woman to please. Clean, great furniture, décor, all beautiful. I was warned when we arrived of the bears and I will say I had a encounter with one at the bottom of my steps by my car, luckily for me he was not interested as I dove in my back seat. Lol The only thing I would change is the upstairs right bedroom could stand to have a new mattress as it has the middle hump as king beds all eventually get to. I would rebook this cabin in a heartbeat . the management and check in was so easy and polite, We got lost in pigeon forge and I called and Pam sweetly directed me back AROUND the downtown Gatlinburg traffic. again Our cabin was super clean! Book it , it is worth the money!
Anna B. - Posted: 10/2/2020
Thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Mountain Hideaway. We will get with the homeowner about the mattress you mentioned and we appreciate you letting us know. Bears can add a bit of excitement when they wander through the yard and it sounds like you did some quick thinking to jump in the car! Our office staff loves to help our guests with directions or area information and we appreciate the shout out to Pam! We hope to see you again soon. Update: The owner did replace both mattresses in the upstairs bedrooms. Again, thanks for letting us know!

Mountain Hideaway
I honestly do not have any complaints - the cabin was probably one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many cabins! The ease of new linens/paper products was very convenient and appreciated considering a lot of cabins do not offer that. We definitely recommend and would stay again!

A couple things that would have been helpful would have been a keypad to get into the cabin rather than physical key and instructions on how to use the theater room TV/remotes.

Sarah, thanks for your review and we are happy you didn't have any complaints! Our goal is to exceed expectations! We are looking into keyless entry and are close to finding the right company to accomplish that. As far as the electronics go, I always (jokingly) say to bring a child with you, they seem to have intuituion for operating anything electronic. Seriously, if you need help figuring out how to work anything, we have maintenance to help you with that, just cal us during office hours and we will either walk you through the process over the phone or send someone out. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

The cabin was great! Plenty of room for 6 adults, a toddler, and a baby. We loved the view and the wrap around porch. The cabin was very neat and tidy. We enjoyed cooking meals and keeping warm in front of the fireplace. The theater room was great for watching movies. We wanted to go to Crocketts Breakfast Camp but the wait was too long. I highly recommend for a delicious breakfast as we’ve eaten there several times before. We had fun ice skating at Ober Gatlinburg. Again, a great cabin for our family get together!

Perfect setting for a family retreat
We had an amazing experience at the mountain hideaway cabin. The cabin was pristine and we could not find a single critique. The cabin is in great condition and in a beautiful location. We had a group of 3 couples and 2 children and we all felt like we had our own space. The kids loved their own floor with the double beds! We also had two sets of mama bear and baby cubs come by which really added to the experience. Thank you for a great vacation !

Magnificent
Stayed at Mountain Hideaway for 3 nights in October and had a wonderful experience. There were two young families of four and the room accommodations were exceptional. I appreciated it as it was a little more modern minimalist in its furniture and decorations as opposed to the over-the-top period-themed mountain decor. We will be staying here again due to its comfort, convenience, and one of the first occasions where the actual home and the pictures aligned exactly. It exceeded all expectations and the owners/managers should be commended for delivering on the promise of the listing. It is on the higher end of price point, but I do not believe you will be disappointed in spending a little more for the comfort of the home. Only thing to bring to your attention after you book is to bring a hair dryer and laundry detergent if needed - this is noted in the small print of the rental agreement, but could be easily overlooked.

This house is awesome !!! Very spacious and so comfortable, great view,and well equipped.The only draw back is the morning sun coming in the front windows. Our family absolutely loved it. Will defiantly stay here again. We also had a late night bear visit, he tore the locked lid half off the garbage bin and had a feast. Our most favorite trip in 30+ years.

Yeah! We are so glad you had a good time and enjoyed the chalet. Most Favorite is High Praise! That pesky bear finally destroyed the trash bin and the owner has replaced it with a new one. Hopefully, we will get a couple of years out of it. It's amazing how strong the bears are. We look forward to your next stay at Mountain Hideaway.

Our family of 4 adults and 3 kids stayed for several nights and would return again to this beautiful mountain home! The driveway could be treacherous in the winter if there were snow or ice though. The hot tub was a nice treat after long days. The house was more than big enough for our family and came well equipped.

Thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Mountain Hideaway. The driveways are not scrapped if we get snow, but all the roads leading to the base of the driveway are. We advise our guests who travel during winter to keep an eye on the forecast and come prepared. If you have never experienced snowfall in the mountains, you need to! The beauty of falling snow and the peace of the silence that accompanies it is unlike anything else. We hope you can come back soon.

Family Vacation
The house is fantastic. We enjoyed a family vacation with our adult children and one grandchild (who greatly enjoyed he wrap around deck).The house is spacious, well equipped, very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed hiking in the Smokies, walking around Gatlinburg and just sitting on the deck. There are many restaurants near by. The office staff is friendly and helpful. It is a trek up and down the mountain, but worth it for the accommodations and view. I would highly recommend this property.

You are absolutely right about the view, you can't see that from downtown! We hope you are able to come back soon.

Family getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Plenty of space, very clean. You have to go up a flight of stairs to get to the main living area, but there is a bedroom on that level. We watched a number of bears roaming around, including a mama bear with 4 cubs, which was a thrilling view from the balcony. But we were all adults and didn't have kids running all over the yard outside. They were not aggressive (we didn't have any food outside to tempt them). Overall, I recommend the Mountain Hideaway, and I plan to stay there again on my next trip. We also enjoyed the home theater, the panoramic balcony, and the views from the living room.

First Time Chalet Getaway
For a first-time Chalet experience, the Mountain Hideaway property did not disappoint. It is an absolutely beautiful house with a great view of the mountains. The interior was well-maintained and clean when we arrived. It is very spacious with plenty of room for all of our guests and the wrap-around deck is a unique and wonderful addition that really completes the structure. We really enjoyed the pool table and the theater room, and especially got a chance to make use of the hot tub. The kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner in, although I will say that the charcoal grill did leave a little bit to be desired. The bathrooms and living areas were very nice and I was especially impressed with Wi-Fi signal strength and TVs in each room. I would definitely come back to this property and highly recommend it to anyone who is either renting for the first time or are seasoned vacationers. The property managers were able to answer all of my questions and took good care of us. And yes, we did get to see the bears! We only stayed for a couple of nights, but I really wish we had more time. It was a blast!

- Board at top of steps on main level was loose
- There is a problem with the fireplace venting, built fire on main level with flu open and flu in fireplace on lower level closed, still had lots of smoke on lower level and some in upper level too, could not build any more fires due to this serious problem
Anonymous - Posted: 11/21/2015
Thanks for the comments about the it is a double fireplace, there are two flues and the bottom fireplace needs to have a fire going in it to properly draft the upstairs. I appreciate you bringing that to our attention and we will post a sign letting future guests know. The board has been taken care of as well. Please do not hesitate to contact the office with issues like want to provide you with the best experience possible. We look forward to seeing you in the mountains again soon.

Very nice cabin!
This was the perfect location for a weekend getaway. Shopping and restaurants were only a few miles away. The neighborhood was quiet and the view was spectacular. On our first evening, we had several visits from the local black bears. They were lots of fun to watch from the large wrap-around porch. The cabin was clean and very spacious. The booking experience was simple and the staff was friendly.

My new favorite mountain hideaway!
It was a perfect weekend. The weather was cool and crisp with the leaves at their brightest. Our chalet was absolutely beautiful. Much more than we expected. It was very well equipped and spacious but still cozy. What a great place to escape from the world. I fell in love with "the Smokies"" all over again."

Just fabulous!
We have rented with Mountain Laurel Chalets for around 30 years. This chalet met our expectations...just perfectly! The view is excellent and everything was very clean and up to date. We've already booked for next year!

Beautiful home!
We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was spacious, very clean, and beautiful. There was plenty of room for 2 families to stay comfortably. We enjoyed the kitchen table where 4 adult and 4 children could eat. The house also was kid friendly. Will stay there again.

Great Cabin Rental
Cabin was fabulous and was a perfect set up for four couples with 4 baths. It was clean, beds were comfortable and view was fantastic. We had a blast and we will be renting this cabin again.

The Ultimate Experience
The cabin smelled brand new and was beautiful. Perfect for our family and everyone had their own bedroom and full bath.We loved the rustic log furniture and cabin feel. Beautiful view so high on the mountain. We saw bear twice. On our last day a mama bear brought her four cubs for a walk down the road in front of the cabin.We would definitely recommend this cabin to families looking for the ultimate fun experience.

Mansion in the Mountains
The house was even better than the pictures showed! Kids had a blast & us parents enjoyed being able to relax while the kids entertained themselves! The game room could of had more games, but we brought plenty of stuff to keep them occupied! Kids loved plaYing Wii & watching movies in the theater room! Definitely would rent this place again!

Loved!!!
We had a such a perfect experience! The home was clean, everything was brand new, the view was perfect, the mattresses were awesome. We wished that there were more games for the kids, but otherwise it was wonderful.

Mountain Christmas
Had a great experience with Mountain Laurel. The pictures on the website don't quite capture how nice it really was. Our family of 9 had a wonderful time and are planning on going back.

Overall awesome cabin!
We had 4 couples that stayed in the cabin. It was all really nice, an we all loved it, except for our battle of hot water. We had to space our showers out, due to running out of hot water.

Perfect Chalet
We could have easily stayed longer. The chalet was so nice. Very high up the mountain but very convenient to downtown Gatlinburg. One if the best views you could ask for.
