A Mountain Home for the Cost of a Hotel Room

Brand new main floor bathroom September, 2020 and upstairs bathroom January, 2021. New air hockey table in December 2021. New hot tub in April 2022. Two ROKU televisions added in September 2022.
Great location, very affordable and tastefully decorated 2 bedroom (each with queen size bed plus queen size sleeper sofa), 1 1/2 bath Gatlinburg chalet located just 4 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg/Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 4 people maximum. Free wi-fi. 15 minute drive to action-packed Pigeon Forge. Very clean and private with all the comforts of home. Chalet offers 4 person hot tub and air hockey table. Sleeps 2-4 maximum.

Lover's Loft chalet is close enough to enjoy all that Gatlinburg has to offer yet far enough away to enjoy the solitude and serenity of the mountains. Our guests come to Lover's Loft to celebrate their honeymoon and return for their wedding anniversary and eventually to bring their own children. We hope your family makes wonderful memories of the Smokies as we have. This is our home away from home.

This chalet is perfect for honeymoons, family vacations, anniversaries or even as a unique gift idea. (Gift certificates available.)

RENTER TESTIMONIALS:
'Lover's Loft is so roomy, well maintained and so close to the things we like to do.' Renters from OH

'We have been to the Smokies numerous times and have stayed at various hotels and cabins. Given the value, location and ammenities - your's is the best!' Renters from SC

'We feel right at home here. It's close enough to everything that we don't have to spend our whole trip driving from place to place. But, it's far enough away from all the cars and noise that we can have a quiet, peaceful time together after a busy day of shopping and attractions.' Renters from MI

'This chalet is perfect just the way it is. It is cheaper than most hotels with much more amenities. You couldn't ask for more!' Renters from TN

'Like most everyone else we were skeptical about renting on the internet...we have heard horror stories. When we arrived we were very pleased...the chalet is very clean and it felt homey.' Renters from AL

'This was a beautiful cabin and such a cozy place to get away to.' Renters from FL

Gatlinburg stay
Property was nice. Driveway is very steep. We drove a dually truck- do not recommend but it is doable...as long as nobody else is driving the road that leads to this location. We did get to see a bear here!

The property was very nice and well kept. Other than some cobwebs in the upper windows and rafters it was very clean. I liked the closeness to the shopping and sight seeing and yet away from the hustle and bustle of the noise

We had a great stay at Lovers' Loft! The home is cozy and private. We enjoyed the hot tub and air hockey table. The location is beautiful, and we even saw a bear! The property owners were very communicative and helpful. We will stay here again the next time we're in the area!

Great little cabin and location.
Very nice cabin. Clean. Nice hot tub. Nice big windows in the front. Relatively less expensive than other places in Gatlinburg. I can’t find any negatives for this house or the rental process. I have stayed here twice and enjoyed both stays very much.

Perfect getaway
This chalet is perfect for a family getaway. My husband and I brought our two boys for the weekend for their first trip to the mountains. The chalet is very clean and comfortable. Located just a few minutes from the strip and entrance to the national park. We did see a few bears so make sure you leave no food in your car and lock your car. We love this chalet and will definitely be staying again.

Amazing Chalet to Stay In!
My husband and I stayed in this chalet to celebrate our 1st anniversary and it was amazing!!! The owners checked in on us multiple times and made sure everything was perfect! Very clean and well kept. Great location too, just about a 5 minute drive to one end of the main strip in Gatlinburg. We would park and then walk the whole strip. I 100% recommend this property if you are heading to Gatlinburg!

Great Family Vacation
This was our 6th time staying at this property! We love it here! We come every 5 years to vacation in Gatlinburg. This property is close to everything we love to do. We go hiking, horseback riding and shopping. We also visit the aquarium downtown and drive a short ways to Dollywood each time.

Wonderful Little Mountain Home
I loved this property. Nestled in the Mountains above Gatlinburg, it was the perfect hideaway. The house was very clean and well taken care of. It was nice but still very homey and comfortable. I would stay here again.

Cozy cabin
Everything you need for a week away in the mountains. Lots of space, front deck with a hot tub and a sitting area. The check-in process was simple and easy. Only a few minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and a short drive to Pigeon Forge. The location is perfect and very peaceful. I would definitely stay here again.

Best Gatlinburg stay ever
We have stayed many places in Gatlinburg and this one is the best. We loved the big picture windows, the wonderful loft, the fantastic deck and the wonderful hot tub. The best part was the communication with the owners. They were responsive, concerned about our comfort and very helpful with tips and ideas in the city. We loved staying right up the hill from stop #10. Far enough away that it was quiet and private; close enough that getting to town was quick and easy. Highly recommend this great place and we will be back!

Minor items
Everything was great. There were only a few minor items that needed to be tended to. The main one was the coffee maker. Whoever used it last , left too many coffee grounds in it and it really made a nasty cup of coffee with a lot of grounds in it. We finally got it to where it was doing okay. Other minor things were not much to mention. Just tiny things that didn't amount to much. The other main thing was there wasn't any wood to burn and according to the sheet it was supposed to be furnished.

Relaxing stay
We enjoyed the hot tub and air hockey table so much. After our days at Dollywood we retreated here for relaxation and it was perfect. Well appointed kitchen, beautiful surroundings, hot tub and family time with air hockey. While there are neighbors- you are on a mountain but not secluded entirely- we soaked in the hot tub and watched an owl in the tree and had wonderful wooded views.
