Homegrown Hideaways: Papa Bear Chalet

Chris and Morgan were wonderful hosts! Great communication before and during the stay, and they truly strive to make your trip perfect. The place is exactly as described with a stocked kitchen and great amenities. We knew exactly what to expect upon arrival! Highly recommend this home, and these hosts! Thanks for a great stay in Gatlinburg!

Chris & Morgan’s place is incredible! A serene mountain retreat with a million dollar view. Everything was exactly as described. All the bedrooms were spacious and comfy. We had a great time sitting by the fire and watching the gondolas. All the fun of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg is near enough to be convenient and far enough to not be noisy. The road to the cabin is steep at points and curvy, but well paved and easy for our front wheel drive car to handle, even in the rain. Chris and Morgan are responsive, hospitable hosts who want to make sure you have a great time. Exactly the kind of stay that made AirBnb famous and can be hard to find anymore. Our family had an amazing time and we look forward to going back!

We loved our stay and enjoyed the beautiful views of Gatlinburg at night! We have been to the area several times but this location proved to be the most convenient to the Gatlinburg strip. The chalet is exceptional with plenty of room and everything you need in one place. Chris and Morgan gave plenty of local recommendations and checked in several times to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Highly recommend

Wonderful quick getaway for our family of 4! It was beautiful and was described perfectly by Chris and Morgan. Lots for our 2 boys ages 9 and 12, gaming table, pool table, and hot tub. Lots of room and still felt cozy. In the morning we sat out on the deck and enjoyed the views of both downtown Gatlinburg and the beautiful mountains. We also got to watch as the Ober Gatlinburg tramway go by the house. We will definitely be back!

This place was absolutely amazing. The cabin itself was wonderful - clean, spacious, beautiful. There were 7 of us and we had more than enough room. The view from the decks were stunning. We loved being able to see not only the tram from Ober go by but also seeing the city down below. One of the best cabins we’ve ever stayed in, and we’ve been coming to the mountains every year for almost 10 years now. Communication with the owners was perfect. We didn’t have any issues but I know we would have had no problems getting in touch if we did. They checked on us to make sure everything was good.

It was an amazing experience! The place has beautiful view from the patio! Chris & Morgan are wonderful host. All the helpful instructions are nicely documented. Home has all the supplies you will need from kitchen utensils to laundry supplies. Kids had great time splashing in hot tub and in the night watching movies (with Netflix and Amazon subscription available to choose from). We went in summer. The road to the property is very well maintained and there was no issue at all. There is also power outlet outside to charge your electric/hybrid car. We also encountered bears couple of times, I think they patrol the area around 8:00pm every night. I would highly recommend this place for a wonderful family vacation experience in Gatlinburg :)

Chris and Morgan were great hosts. They responded with any questions we had within minutes. Their cabin has the most beautiful view we have stayed at yet. It was very clean and convenient for my 80+ year old parents. This place is a must stay and we will be using it for our annual family mountain vacation. Thank you, Chris and Morgan for everything!

This was our first time in Gatlinburg and it was a great family time. The house and the host were great. The view of Smokey Mountains and Gatlinburg was spectacular from the house. Seeing the air tram from the balcony of the house was also very nice. Chris and Morgan were very responsive and helpful all the time. Thank you so much."
