Three Bears Den

Welcome to Three Bears Den, a cozy circle chalet tucked high among the tall trees of Ski Mountain, where privacy, comfort, and Smoky Mountain charm come together for an unforgettable escape. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath retreat feels worlds away, yet it’s only about 20 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg—close enough for adventure, but secluded enough to truly unwind.

As you make your way up the scenic, mostly paved mountain roads, the journey itself becomes part of the experience—winding through peaceful forest views that signal you’re leaving the busy world behind. Once you arrive, the chalet’s unique circular design and wooded surroundings immediately set a tone of relaxation and retreat.

Two separate entrances give you options for how your stay begins. Step into the lower level and discover a private den built for fun and connection. This space becomes an instant favorite, featuring arcade games, a pool table, and comfortable futons for lounging or extra sleeping space. A private bedroom and bathroom on this level make it ideal for families or groups wanting their own space to spread out. Just outside, a secluded patio invites you to slip into the warm, bubbling hot tub—perfect for soaking under the stars after a day of exploring the Smokies.

When you’re ready to settle in, head up the spiral staircase to the main level where the heart of the cabin opens up. A warm, inviting living area blends seamlessly with a fully equipped kitchen, creating a space where everyone can gather, cook, laugh, and relax together. Just outside, the deck offers a peaceful place to enjoy the mountain air—whether it’s morning coffee, a good book, or a quiet moment with the trees all around you.

Down the hall, two additional bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, each with its own bathroom—one featuring a stand-up shower and the other a tub/shower combo. Thoughtful layout and cozy design ensure everyone has their own space to recharge.

With fireplaces on every level, evenings here naturally slow down. Picture yourself wrapped in a blanket with a warm drink, gathered around the fire as the forest quiets outside and the mountain air cools the night.

As a guest of Chalet Village, you’ll also have access to community amenities that elevate your stay even further—seasonal pools, game areas, and year-round pickleball and tennis courts, offering something for every season of your getaway.

Three Bears Den is more than a cabin—it’s a mountain retreat designed for memory-making. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub, competing in a friendly arcade game, or simply enjoying the stillness of the trees, this hidden chalet offers the kind of Smoky Mountain experience you’ll carry with you long after you leave.
