Hotel Details

Location

Bear Tracks is situated 17 km from Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies and 18 km from Ober Gatlinburg, in a peaceful yet accessible mountain setting.
The chalet is far enough from town to offer quiet, rabbit-filled surroundings and a starry night sky, yet only a short drive to downtown Gatlinburg attractions and a nearby grocery store. The road access is easy and suitable for standard vehicles, with no four-wheel drive required. Free private on-site parking makes car-based exploration straightforward. No airport shuttle or public transport is available, so driving is essential for all day trips, including to Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Accommodation

This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom chalet sleeps up to 8 guests across two separate floors, with mountain views, a fireplace, and a screened-in hot tub.
The chalet features a main-level bedroom and an upstairs loft, providing separation between sleeping areas - ideal for multi-generational families or two couples. Each bedroom has a door, a TV, and comfortable beds. The two bathrooms are private, spacious, and clean, with a bathtub and shower. The open-plan living room is furnished with comfortable seating, a large flat-screen TV, and a fireplace. A washing machine and dryer are available for guest use. The property is clean, well-maintained, and decorated with bear-themed decor throughout.

Dining

Bear Tracks does not have a restaurant or serve breakfast; guests must self-cater using the fully equipped kitchen with stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and cookware.
The kitchen is stocked with all essentials - including two types of coffee makers, a tea kettle, and basic supplies - making it easy to prepare full meals. A barbecue is available for outdoor cooking. A grocery store is a short drive away for supplies. There is no on-site dining or food service, so all meal plans should be entirely self-managed.

Leisure

Leisure highlights include a screened-in hot tub, a shared seasonal saltwater pool, a games room with pool table and Pac-Man, and a children's playground.
The hot tub is screened-in and private, providing a relaxing evening experience. The shared outdoor saltwater pool (open seasonally 8AM to dusk) requires a 2-minute walk and towels are provided. The games room features a pool table and a Pac-Man arcade machine, popular with all ages. Outdoor areas include a garden, BBQ facilities, and outdoor seating that attract local wildlife. For more extensive wellness, no spa is on site.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room with a screened-in hot tub and mountain-view balcony for a quieter, more private experience.

  • 02

    Use the free on-site parking and plan to drive for all excursions, as no shuttle or airport transfer is available.

  • 03

    Book well in advance for summer or holiday weeks, as the seasonal saltwater pool availability must be confirmed per date.

  • 04

    Plan a fully self-catered stay using the well-equipped kitchen, since no restaurant or breakfast service is offered.
