Important Notes for Your Stay

Mountain Roads & Steep Driveway
Like most mountain homes, access includes winding roads and a steep driveway. Flat parking is available at the base if preferred, and most front-wheel-drive vehicles do fine. During winter months, 4WD or tire chains are recommended.

Cell Service & Wi-Fi
Cell service can be limited (especially AT&T) due to the proximity to the National Park. Strong Wi-Fi is available for streaming, messaging, and remote work.

Trip Insurance Recommended
Due to our mountain setting and weather variability, we recommend purchasing trip insurance. We are unable to offer weather-related refunds.



We look forward to welcoming you to Trailhead Lodge; place to slow down, reconnect, and create memories that last long after the mountains fade in the rearview mirror.

This was perfect for two families of four with school age children. Kids really enjoyed the downstairs play area and all enjoyed the hot tub. The hiking trail up the road was perfect for our kids ages 8-11. We were close to plenty of things to do in the area! We had one issue with an outlet and hose was very responsive and sent maintenance to repair the following day. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at the Trailhead Lodge. The views were beautiful. The kids loved the basement games. The trail into the park was our favorite. We got to hike with the trail all to ourselves.

Great choice if you want easy access to a beautiful trail as well as a short drive to town. The house is gorgeous. It’s perfectly decorated for a mountain retreat with nice furniture, finishings, and art. My teenage boys had so much fun playing pool and the arcade games in the downstairs area, and my husband enjoyed watching football from the hot tub after a day of hiking. My favorite part was that it is just a couple minutes walk to a trail that had the most beautiful view (picture included). The place really has something for everyone. We had a great time, thank you!!

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful property. Tucked high in the mountain, we felt very peaceful and secluded though everything was still very nearby. The home was fully stocked and well maintained. We had a wonderful vacation and would certainly recommend it.

Amazing experience!

This property was absolutely stunning! They provided everything and more. It was steps away from a beautiful trail in the smoky mountain national park. The dogs loved it. Our host Amy was great and extremely responsive. If I could leave 6 out of 5 stars I would.

A Beary Merry Time

The cabin is exactly as pictured. We walked in to a beautifully placed table and impeccably clean house. As mentioned, the driveway can be tough, if able I recommend getting there in daylight to help. (You have to give it gas.) Amy was an amazing host! We did have to call her upon arrival and she advised there is a trick to the door. (Pull toward you while entering the code. It will hang up on occassion.) You will see BEARs!! They came around 8-9 am, and again around 4-6 pm. They greeted our party when we arrived, and we did have to wait them out. We were traveling with a dog, so we used two deck chairs across the top of the steps as a deterrent and to keep her up on the deck with us. This also helped warn us when a bear did come up on the deck while we were all inside. We made sure the doors were locked and watched it from inside at the kitchen table. Once it moved on, we replaced the chairs on the steps and straightened up the small mess it made of the grill (going after the drippings). Be cautious loading your car in the morning. The bears did reappear while we were in the middle of loading up. (Be sure to use a buddy system with 1 person watching from high up.) 1000% considering returning to this exact cabin on our next trip out (spring). The drive was beautiful. The beds were fantastic. The cabin was perfect for our couples get-away. We loved the proximity to town and the trails, while still being remote. We cannot wait to return, and are alreadyvlooking for date

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Amy - available throughout your stay. I respond quickly through the platform

Bild für Gastgeberprofil
Hi, I’m Amy! I’m a nurse practitioner and dementia caregiver coach turned short-term rental host, mom of three boys, and wife to a talented carpenter who helps bring many of our renovation dreams to life. Hospitality is a big part of who we are. After caring for my mother through her journey with Alzheimer’s, our family needed space to breathe, heal, and reconnect. So we bought a small mountain home years ago that eventually grew into a passion for creating meaningful getaways for others.

I’m originally from Kentucky, and when I’m not working on one of our rentals, you’ll probably find me hiking, exploring local restaurants, or meeting with dementia/ALZ caregivers.
My husband and I personally design, rehab, and manage all our properties. We put a lot of heart into the details because we genuinely want families to feel at ease the moment they walk through the door.

Hosting isn’t just a business for me. It’s a way to offer families the same thing the mountains gave us: a place to slow down, make memories, and remember what matters. Whether you’re here for adventure, rest, or a little bit of both, we’re grateful to share a space where you can reconnect with the people you love.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

We chose Chalet Village because it has been a special place for our family for years. Long before we ever became hosts, we used to come to this very neighborhood for our own getaways. My mom especially loved it here. Every morning around 7 a.m., she would sit out on the front porch, waiting to see the bears wander through. Watching her face light up...every single time, made this place feel like magic to us.

Chalet Village sits right beside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so the connection to nature is immediate. You’re surrounded by fresh air, wildlife, and that calming mountain stillness that’s hard to find anywhere else. Yet just a few minutes down the road, you have Gatlinburg’s restaurants, shops, the Ober Mountain Tramway, and all the adventures that make the area so fun.

What we love most about this neighborhood is that perfect blend of peace and convenience. It feels tucked away, cozy, and private, but never isolated. Guests can spend the morning hiking, the afternoon exploring town, and the evening relaxing on the deck without ever feeling rushed.

For us, Chalet Village is more than a location. It’s a place filled with years of memories, family moments, and the kind of simple joy that keeps drawing people back. We’re grateful to share that same experience with the families who stay here.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

Trailhead Lodge lives up to its name in the most unforgettable way. While many cabins advertise “near the national park,” this one is literally steps from it. The trail entrance beside the lodge is unassuming and unmarked. No grand sign, no fuss. One moment you’re standing on a quiet neighborhood road, and with a single step into the trees you realize: you’ve just stepped directly into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

And not just anywhere in the park, you’re standing on Cove Mountain Trail, a true hidden gem.

Head right, and within about half a mile you’ll reach the top of the Ober Mountain ski slopes, where you can actually watch skiers glide down the mountain in winter. In the warmer months, this same route becomes a mountain bike trail with sweeping views and peaceful forest pathways.

Head left, and a gorgeous 3-mile downhill hike takes you all the way to Cataract Falls and the Sugarlands Visitor Center. It’s one of the most scenic ways to experience the Smokies without ever needing to move your car.

This rare “back door into the park” is what makes Trailhead Lodge truly special. Guests can wake up, sip their coffee, lace up their shoes, and within seconds be on a national park trail; no traffic, no parking lots, no hassle. It’s a quiet, private, nature-immersed experience that you won’t find at most Gatlinburg cabins.

Trailhead Lodge blends the convenience of being minutes from Gatlinburg with the magic of having the Smokies right outside the door. Whether you’re here to hike, ski, bike, explore, or simply breathe in the fresh mountain air, this property offers an adventure that begins the moment you step outside.
