Notes from the host
Number 6 Chalet
Did we say 'great' enough? It's all true. Everyone that stays here says they love this cabin. And the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is well... Great.
Number 6 Chalet recently finished a full top to bottom, inside and out renovation. This is the sixth property that we have renovated in the Chalet Village resort. Usually, when are working on a cabin we find its most distinctive feature and use that to come up with its name. While we were working on this cabin, there were just so many great features that we just could not come up with that perfect name that could properly describe all of the unique features that we put into this chalet. During the renovation, everybody started referring to this cabin as 'Number 6', since it was our sixth. In the end, we stuck with the name decided to call it Number 6 Cabin, a combination of it's own unique character and everything that we have learned from the five that came before it.
The result of the renovation on Number 6 Chalet is a very comfortable vacation chalet which combines modern comfort and convenience with the rustic charm that its developers created 50 years ago. We know that you will enjoy your vacation here and want to come back season after season and year after year.
Number 6 Chalet has three floors. The lower floor is the game room and bar area. It has a full size pool table and lounge area with plenty of seating. There is a wood burning fireplace at one end of the game room with a 55 inch television mounted over it. In the bar area, there is a wet bar with a beverage refrigerator. The bar area has a 40 inch smart television. The sofa in the bar area converts into a very comfortable full size bed. This floor offers a full bathroom with a shower. There is also a full size washer and dryer located on this floor. The lower floor has hardwood flooring except the bathroom which is tile.
The second floor has a very comfortable living room with sofa, loveseat, and recliner chair. There is a wood burning fireplace in the living room with a 50 inch smart television mounted over the fireplace. The dining room has a very large wooden table which can seat 8 or more people comfortably. The beautiful kitchen has stainless appliances. There is a master bedroom with a king bed and 40 inch smart television on this floor along with a full bathroom with tub and shower. The second floor has hardwood flooring throughout except for the bathroom, which is tile. There are excellent views of the mountains from the living room and dining room. There is a wrap around deck on this floor which has a dining table, deck chairs, and a hot tub with great mountain views.
The upper floor master bedroom has a king bed and a lounger. The master opens onto a private covered balcony which has one of the most spectacular views in the Smoky Mountains. It offers an unobstructed full on view of Mt. Le Conte and the Great Smoky Mountains national park. There are deck chairs provided where you can relax 'between the bears rain or shine. There is a 40 inch smart television in this bedroom. The rear bedroom has two queen beds in it and includes a 40 inch smart television.

Entertainment - For those times when you want to just kick back and chill, Number 6 Chalet has state of the art entertainment. Each room has a Smart TV. Each of the bedrooms and the bar area have a 40 inch screen while the living room has a 50 inch screen. In the game room, there is 55 inch screen over the fireplace. Each of these televisions are WI-FI connected and offer Smart Apps such as Netflix, HULU, Amazon, and hundreds more. We offer high speed (300+ Mb/s) Internet so you can stream to your WI-FI connected devices without a hitch. Every TV has available HDMI inputs so you can bring your game console or streaming device if you want. We also provide Blu-Ray/DVD players which can be hooked to any of the televisions if you want to bring your favorite discs.
Note that we no longer offer any cable access. Due to the increased prices of cable and the lack of interest by our guests, we have cut the cord on cable. This was a very high price that we were passing on to a small amount of guests that were actually using it. All TV's have many free streaming options including Pluto TV. In most cases, guests can log in to their own streaming subscriptions. All TVs include Apple and Google cast.
Driving - Please note that Chalet Village is located on the side of a mountain above the City of Gatlinburg. Access to this area is by steep mountain roads. The roads are generally in excellent shape, even during the winter ski season. The driveway at Number 6 Chalet is only about 25 feet long, but it is steep. It is accessible by most vehicles. Cars with very low ground clearance (think Corvette) may drag at the entrance to the street and are not recommended. Trailers are also not recommended. If you have a trailer, let us know and we can arrange an alternate parking spot for it. Vehicles with slick tires or no tread may not be able to access this cabin. There is good flat parking with turn around at the top of the driveway. There is parking for a maximum of three vehicles. Some of our guests who are not used to driving in the mountains do experience 'driveway panic' the first time the see the driveway. Usually, after they have driven up a time or two they become pros. We have had hundreds of different vehicles at the cabin and only one or two that were too low to make it.
