Description Description

A three-bedroom Gatlinburg cabin on Ski Mountain — sleeps 10, with main-floor bedrooms for guests who'd rather not climb stairs, and full access to a small private resort with a gym, an outdoor pool, and lighted tennis courts.

Main-level living, for once. Most Gatlinburg cabins are built tall and narrow on the mountainside. This one isn't — the great room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and the upper deck all sit on the entry level, with just a single step up from the driveway. Built for multi-generational trips, guests with mobility limitations, or anyone who doesn't want to haul luggage up two flights at midnight
Sleeps 10 with three private bedrooms and a bonus bunk room
Resort amenities included. Three clubhouses, a large outdoor pool, lighted tennis courts, a gym, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a playground, and a full game room — all yours as a guest. The S. Baden Clubhouse is closest
Free Dollywood ticket with every reservation, plus one complimentary ticket per participating attraction, per day, through our Xplorie concierge program
Two decks — upper deck with dining table, fire pit, and gas grill; lower covered deck with the private hot tub
A real wood-burning fireplace (available October 1 – February 28)
Bonus entertainment room with a retro arcade cabinet, foosball table, big TV, and bunks — built for the cousins-and-kids crew
Vaulted wood ceilings and a wall of windows framing the mountains
Three-car parking right at the door

Step inside
The single step from the driveway opens onto a great room that surprises you with its scale. The vaulted wood ceiling lifts the eye, and a wall of windows pulls the Smokies right into the room. The wood-burning fireplace anchors one side; the oversized flat-screen TV anchors the other. Plush seating in between. The space was built for the moments where some of the group wants a movie and some of the group wants a nap — and somehow it all works.
The kitchen flows directly off the great room with a breakfast bar that doubles as a casual eating spot, a workspace, or just somewhere to lean while the host is cooking. It's fully stocked for home-style meals — full-size appliances, cookware, utensils, dishes, both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker (bring your filters). The dining area just beyond seats the whole group for the big family dinner.
Both main-floor bedrooms — one king, one queen — sit on this same level, each with a private TV and easy access to a full bath. That's the layout that makes this cabin genuinely work for grandparents traveling with the rest of the family: nobody has to climb stairs after a long day.
Outside on the upper deck
Right off the great room, the upper deck is set up for the long mountain evening — an outdoor dining table, a seating area gathered around the fire pit, and a generous gas grill. Cook out, eat out, then pull the chairs closer to the fire and let it get dark.
Down the spiral staircase
The lower level is where the trip really opens up. The bonus entertainment room is the cabin's hidden engine: two twin-over-twin bunks for the kids, a big TV, a foosball table, and a retro arcade cabinet loaded with classics. Just off this room is a third bedroom — a queen with its own TV — and a full bathroom that serves the lower level. There's also a laundry corner with washer and dryer down here.
The lower deck — and the hot tub
Out the back of the lower level, a covered deck holds the private hot tub plus more seating and an outdoor dining setup. Covered = year-round usable. A bubbling hot tub in February with snow in the trees is the kind of memory you don't get back home.
A small resort at your doorstep
Guests of Grand Ole Chalet have full access to all three Mountain Laurel Chalets clubhouses. The S. Baden Clubhouse is closest, and from there you have:

A large outdoor pool with changing rooms and showers
Lighted tennis courts
A gym
Shuffleboard and horseshoes
A playground
A full game room with billiards, ping pong, foosball, checkers/chess, and video games

A three-bedroom Gatlinburg cabin with a gym and a resort pool a short walk away is a rare combination. You're effectively getting the cabin and the resort.
Where you'll be
Atop Ski Mountain, with quick access down to downtown Gatlinburg, the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Ober Mountain Resort (right next door — year-round mountain coaster, chairlift, ice skating, seasonal skiing), and on to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood.
Sleeping arrangements (sleeps 10)

Bedroom 1 (main level): King bed, private TV
Bedroom 2 (main level): Queen bed, private TV
Bedroom 3 (lower level): Queen bed, private TV
Bonus room (lower level): Two twin-over-twin bunks (sleeps 4)

Perfect for our family
It was a beautiful home and was perfect for our family!!! Will stay here again. Easy access to venues. Mountain roads a little curvy for us low country people from SC
Vickie B from Lynchburg, VA - Posted: 5/26/2026
Thank you so much, Vickie! We are so thrilled to hear that Grand Ole Chalet was such a perfect fit for your family and that the easy access to all the venues made your trip so enjoyable! We completely understand the mountain road adjustment for our low country guests -- those curves can definitely catch you off guard at first but most folks find their mountain driving legs pretty quickly! We are so glad it did not put a damper on what sounds like a wonderful family trip! We would love to welcome you and your family back -- whether at Grand Ole Chalet or one of our other cabins -- the next time the Smokies are calling your name. We hope to see you back in Gatlinburg very soon, Vickie!

Lovely chalet home
What a lovely chalet! Very clean, orderly, and well appointed. We were very impressed with how well stocked the kitchen was...this was helpful as we prepared several meals here. Home was spacious and comfortable for our entire family. Our children enjoyed all of the vintage video games in the downstairs space. The adults enjoyed the view from the upper deck rocking chairs! We did not use the hot tub but it did appear to need a little work as far as the temp setting...the office did relay this but we chose not to use it. We did find the metal spiral staircase to be a bit treacherous so be warned, they are steep and hard to see in the dark. The washer and dryer both worked well. I will say that we observed what could be a few trip hazards... the area rugs did not have grips underneath them and buckled a few times as we walked on them prompting us to have to straighten them back out, also, there were a few small steps that a young child or elderly person may not see when walking. We observed a gap in the bottom of the main entry door and made it known to the office that bears kept coming to the door and we believed they could smell everything we cooked... the maintenance helper came and sealed the gap upon our request which we greatly appreciated however that did not stop the bears from coming to the door and trying multiple times to open it....BEWARE! If you cook, they will come! ;-) Water pressure seemed to be a sporadic issue as well, however, not a deterrent, just an observation. It did take quite a good while to fill the one bathtub. All in all , I recommend this chalet to anyone looking for a bit of mountain view, easy drive up (its lovely by the way) close to G'burg downtown and nice and quiet. You WILL see bears. Oh, and the driveway is easy to traverse too! It's one of the more level ones we have parked on. Also worth mentioning, we had a few special requests of items and Kelly was super at getting these needs met! Apart from a few very minor issues, I would definitely stay here again. It was by far, a very pleasant experience.
Kathryn K from Houston, TX - Posted: 5/11/2026
Thank you so much, Kathryn! What a wonderful and thorough review -- we truly appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback as it helps us continue to improve the experience for every guest who walks through our doors! We are so thrilled to hear that the chalet felt clean, well appointed, and spacious enough for the whole family. It is always wonderful to hear that the kitchen was well stocked and put to good use -- there is something so special about preparing meals together as a family on vacation! We are also so glad the vintage video games were a hit with the children and that the adults could relax and soak in that beautiful view from the upper deck rocking chairs -- that sounds like the perfect mountain evening! We sincerely appreciate you bringing the hot tub temperature, the door gap, and the water pressure to our attention and we are so glad our team was responsive and that maintenance was able to come out promptly to address the door seal. You are absolutely right that bears have an incredible sense of smell and they are persistent little visitors -- your warning to future guests is so appreciated and spot on! You also make some very valid points about the area rugs, the spiral staircase visibility in the dark, and the small steps throughout the home. Please know that we take all of these safety observations seriously and will be addressing them to ensure every guest feels safe and comfortable throughout their stay. These are exactly the kinds of details that can make a big difference and we are grateful you took the time to point them out. We are also so happy to hear that Kelly was able to take such good care of your special requests -- we will absolutely pass along your kind words to her! We would love to welcome your family back to the Smokies for another stay and hope that the few minor observations noted will reflect the improvements we plan to make. We hope to see you back in Gatlinburg very soon, Kathryn!

Beautiful Home in a Peaceful Setting
Beautiful home in a peaceful setting, with views of the mountains. The amenities were great, the only warning I would give is that the stairs are precarious for small children or older people. We had an amazing time and would stay again!
Jamie C from West Allis, WI - Posted: 5/6/2026
Jamie, we're so glad you had an amazing time at Grand Ole Chalet with Mountain Laurel Chalets. It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the beautiful mountain views, peaceful setting, and great amenities like the hot tub and fire pit. We really appreciate your heads-up about the stairs being precarious for small children or older guests—that's helpful feedback for future families and travelers to keep in mind when planning their stay. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we'd be thrilled to welcome you back to Grand Ole Chalet—or another Mountain Laurel Chalets cabin—on your next Smoky Mountain visit.

Great cabin
This was our first time staying at Grand Ole Chalet and would definitely recommend to friends and family. The pictures from website are accurate. The fall leaves and the view from the balcony were beautiful. It is a well established neighborhood so it’s not cookie cutter cabins stacked on top of cabins. For those who want to see bears, we saw five as we all gazed down upon them from the balcony as they walked around the side and back property. Some in our group used the hot tub and enjoyed it on the cold evenings. We had family over for lunch who were staying in condos nearby. The kitchen/bar area has seating for 13. They asked for the contact information to stay at Grand Ole Chalet in the future.
Malonna C from Cleveland TN - Posted: 11/10/2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience at Grand Ole Chalet! We’re delighted to hear your stay matched the photos and that you could enjoy the fall colors and those amazing mountain views. It sounds like you made the most of every moment—between relaxing in the hot tub, gathering for family meals, and watching those visiting bears from a safe distance! We truly appreciate your kind words and referrals, and we’d love to welcome you and your friends back for another Smoky Mountain getaway.

Such a great stay - the view was absolutely beautiful!
We had such a great stay at Mountain Laurel Chalets! The view was absolutely beautiful, and we even got to see a few bears right from the cabin. The location was perfect, peaceful, and private but still just a short drive to downtown Gatlinburg. The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing mountain getaway. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
Shelbi M - Posted: 10/20/2025
