RidgeHaus | Gatlinburg

Welcome to RidgeHaus — a thoughtfully renovated mountain chalet tucked high above Gatlinburg in Chalet Village with sweeping Smoky Mountain views and a warm, modern mountain feel. Designed for couples, small families, or friends, RidgeHaus comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests.



The layout includes 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a king bedroom & bath on the main level and a second king bedroom & bath upstairs, giving everyone space to relax.



Inside, cozy up around the stone wood-burning fireplace, put on a favorite album on the record player, or unwind after a day exploring the Smokies.



Outside is where RidgeHaus truly shines. Soak in the private 4-person hot tub on the lower deck overlooking the mountains, relax in the hammock chair, or enjoy dinner at the outdoor dining table.



Upstairs, settle into the rocking Adirondack chairs beside the fire table and watch the ridges fade into sunset.



Guests also enjoy access to Chalet Village amenities during their stay.



🐻 Wildlife Notice: RidgeHaus is located in an active mountain environment with regular bear and coyote activity. For the safety of wildlife, guests, and future visitors, pets are not permitted and a zero-tolerance policy is enforced.



Whether you’re chasing mountain sunrises, cozy nights by the fire, or a quiet escape above Gatlinburg, RidgeHaus was created to help you slow down and enjoy the view.
