This 3 bedroom, 3 bath chalet offers a strong setup for investors looking for a well-located Gatlinburg short-term rental with features that appeal to guests and make ownership easier. Located in Chalet Village, one of the most desirable HOAs in the area, this property is only 1.5 miles from downtown Gatlinburg and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Guests get quick access to everything they came for while still enjoying a wooded setting that feels private and relaxing. The HOA fee is just $590 per year and includes access to 3 pools, tennis courts, a new pickleball court, a gym, and clubhouses, which adds value for guests without creating a major yearly expense. Being inside the Gatlinburg city limits is another big advantage, with city water and city garbage pickup three times a week helping simplify ownership and turnover. The current City of Gatlinburg tourist permit is already in place through March 2027.

With approximately 2,400 square feet across two levels, the layout works well for groups and families. The main level offers a nearly step-free entrance, ample parking, vaulted ceilings, and an open living, kitchen, and dining area with a wall of windows overlooking the natural surroundings. This level also includes a king bedroom with en-suite bath, a second full bathroom, granite countertops, hardwood floors, beautiful wood cabinetry, and one of two gas stone fireplaces. Downstairs features two additional bedrooms, including another king bedroom and a bedroom with two twin beds, along with a third full bathroom and a theater room with seating for movie nights. Outside, the hot tub deck gives guests a comfortable place to unwind and safely watch one of the area's biggest draws: regular bear sightings as they pass through the property. With high-speed cable internet, a seasonal view, strong guest amenities, and a location that keeps it close to both town and the National Park, this property has the ingredients investors look for in a profitable Smoky Mountain rental. It's easy to see why guests would choose it for convenience, remember it for the experience, and want to come back.
