Whether you are looking for your perfect Gatlinburg chalet for a girls’ trip to the mountains or need the allure of this amenity-packed cabin located in the beautiful Chalet Village to inspire a couples’ getaway without the kids, it’s time to start planning your dream Smoky Mountain getaway in Raven’s Nest.

Living Room
High vaulted ceilings, serene forest views resting through the large windows, an exquisite stacked-stone fireplace, and plush furnishings to sink into…guests may not make it past the living room for the first hour upon arrival! Reconnect with friends while seated around the coffee table, sipping on local wine from the Rocky Top Wine Trail, and playing board games conveniently supplied in the cabin.

Cozy up with the kids at night while a warm fire crackles in the wood-burning fireplace and the movie they picked out plays on the large smart flatscreen TV above the mantel using your personal Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming services. Pull your feet up on the leather sofa and watch your favorite midday shows before falling asleep for a dreamy nap in the soft daylight drifting in through the large windowed wall.

Kitchen
Spotlights accent the gorgeous natural wood interiors complemented by modern appliances in the inviting fully loaded kitchen that boasts tools, appliances, and serving utensils for your stay in The Raven’s Nest. Settle onto one of the 4 stools at the breakfast bar before being served pancakes hot off the skillet or pouring yourself a fresh cup of joe from the Keurig coffeemaker to enjoy while perusing through social media on your connected device.

Need a quick snack after everyone has gone to bed? Snag those leftovers in the refrigerator and let the microwave heat up your food to curb those midnight cravings. Enjoy beautiful mountain views while rinsing off those plates after dinner and placing them in the dishwasher to take care of most of the cleaning. With a 4-slice toaster, it’s easy to make a quick on-the-go breakfast before heading to Cades Cove to catch grazing wildlife in the early day among the breathtaking valley and mountain views.

Dining Room
No need to leave The Raven’s Nest for a great dining atmosphere; share drinks, home-cooked meals, and laughs around the 6-chair wood dining set with gorgeous wooded views resting through the nearby large windows. Warm spotlights illuminate your dining area to complement the warm personal connections enjoyed over a family dinner without the normal distractions of home.

Trade terrifying and hilarious stories from your visit to the Gatlinburg Mysterious Mansion before clearing the table and setting up your new favorite board games from home or one of the cabin’s. Let laughter fill the high vaulted ceiling late into the night while spending time with friends and wait until yawns finally usher everyone off to the comfort of their beds. Need more dining space? The breakfast bar has stools for more guests!

Bedrooms
On the entry level, 2 charming bedrooms boast homey atmospheres and forest views along with ample closet and dresser space to unpack suitcases to make guests feel even more at home. The entry level bedrooms share a pristine, white-tiled bathroom resting only footsteps away from bedroom doors for guests’ convenience.

In the loft, crawl under the cozy quilted covers of the king-size bed and unwind in the evenings with some late-night TV on the bedroom flatscreen TV before drifting off into restful nights of sleep. The primary suite lends its guests a private deck and outdoor seating for 2, perfect for sipping on warm cups of coffee and watching the birds flutter about the forestry.

Rec Room
Kids will love having their own flatscreen for watching movies while seated in the comfy bean bag chairs in the open-air loft. Break out the folding table for the little ones and set up miniature games of air hockey and pool during in-cabin days while parents play Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit around the dining table. Pick out a movie from the DVD library or let the kids watch their favorites from home in the loft with a big bowl of popcorn freshly popped in the microwave. Adults will find a peaceful spot to sink into a bean-bag chair and enjoy the gorgeous wooded views through the large windows across the open-air balcony while putting together a puzzle on the fold-out table.

Outdoor Amenities
The spacious porch lends guests front-row seats to the many beautiful phases of the Smoky Mountains with bright green foliage during spring and summer, a kaleidoscope of warm reds, oranges, and yellows during fall, and serene mountain views through leafless trees in winter. While the deck provides plenty of seating, including an old, refurbished ski-lift bench, there is also room to play your favorite outdoor games from home like cornhole and ladders. On quiet mornings, sit with the stacked-stone and windowed wall behind you and let the tranquility of the forests soothe your soul. Oh, and don’t forget to wave to the people on the Aerial Tramway riding overhead!

Need a physical kind of soothing after your scenic hike to Alum Cave or Abrams Falls? Enjoy the therapeutic jets of the outdoor hot tub while the sun quietly peeks through the trees. During fun cabin cookouts, guests can enjoy glasses of their favorite beer from their Smoky Mountain Brewery growlers while burgers and hot dogs sizzle on the charcoal grill and the Ober Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway glides up to the top of Mt. Harrison nearby.
