Chalet Village Resort

This resort area falls just outside of the Gatlinburg city limits, but it enjoys a prime location in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. Some of the best assets of this area are the number of main roadways you can access.

  • The Spur – The main road that connects Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge – US Hwy 321.
  • The Gatlinburg Bypass – A scenic route that allows drivers to reach the national park without driving through Downtown Gatlinburg.
  • Ski Mountain Road – The road to Ober Gatlinburg, where vacationers will find winter sports like skiing and summer attractions like mountain coasters.

From Chalet Village, you can easily reach some of the biggest attractions in the Smokies with ease. Taking the Spur means visitors can reach places like Ripley's Aquarium and the Gatlinburg Space Needle in a matter of minutes. From the Spur, you can also easily drive to Dollywood or other Pigeon Forge destinations.

A great perk is that the Gatlinburg Bypass provides a great way to dodge downtown traffic. No matter if your family just wants to escape to the national park hiking or take a scenic drive, this route is a saving grace when Gatlinburg is crowded.

Best of all, these rentals are only a few minutes from downtown where vacationers can find great restaurants, shops, and attractions. Access to the Gatlinburg Bypass allows guests to avoid Gatlinburg traffic on their way to Pigeon Forge or the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The national park entrance closest to Smoky Mountain Village takes guests to Sugarlands Visitors Center. From here, you can take a trip to:

These cabins off the beaten track are close to one of the greatest cultural landmarks in the Smoky Mountains. The Glades Crafts Loop is home to a community of artisans who preserve traditional handicrafts and is one of the oldest of its kind.

Cabins near the East Parkway in Gatlinburg are also convenient for accessing some lesser known park entrances:

  • Greenbrier – This gorgeous and rugged section of the national park is home to some of the most beloved hiking trails and fishing spots in the Smokies. The road into the park is a rough gravel road, so be sure to bring a vehicle that is appropriate for old country roads.
  • Cosby – Further down US Hwy 312, vacationers can find Cosby Campground where hikers can reach high peaks like Mt. Cammerer via beautiful hiking trails.
