“This Gatlinburg chalet promises space for families wanting to be near Ober Gatlinburg and Ripley's Aquarium. A fully equipped kitchen and three bedrooms intend to create a home-like feel, while on-site recreation includes a hot tub and billiards. While some maintenance issues have been reported, the generous layout remains a key draw.”
