Breathtaking Smoky Mtn View - Steps to Ober Gatlinburg, Hot Tub, Game Room

Welcome to Mountain Moonrise — Your Spring Family Retreat in the Smokies
Mountain Moonrise is a spacious 3-level chalet sleeping up to 8 guests, thoughtfully designed for families and multi-generational groups. Practically at the doorstep of Ober Mountain and just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, this is one of the best-located chalets in the Smokies for a spring getaway. Step outside onto one of three scenic decks, soak in the private hot tub, or gather around one of two firepits as the mountains bloom around you. Wildflowers are beginning to carpet the trails, Dollywood's 2026 season just opened, and Gatlinburg's SpringFest is filling downtown with over 150,000 blooming flowers and dazzling light sculptures through June 1. One guest shared, "The view from the cabin was simply breathtaking… we can't wait to return!"

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The chalet features two king suites, each with a private ensuite bathroom and stunning mountain views — perfect for parents or grandparents seeking a restful retreat after a day on the trails or at Ober Mountain. The lower-level bunk room includes solid farmhouse-style bunks and its own foosball table, a favorite space for kids. Upstairs, a cozy reading nook is ideal for morning coffee and misty spring sunrises. Bathrooms are well-stocked with full-size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash — no tiny hotel bottles — plus hairdryers in every bathroom. One bathroom also includes a bathtub, ideal for young children.

Main Living Space
The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area is the heart of the home, filled with natural mountain light and anchored by a cozy electric fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a complete coffee bar (espresso, K-cup, and drip) — perfect for fueling up before a day at Ober Mountain or Dollywood, or winding down with the family at night.

Right Next Door: Ober Mountain
One of Mountain Moonrise's standout advantages is how close it sits to Ober Mountain. This spring the park offers the Tennessee Flyer mountain coaster, Cloud Catcher ziplines, indoor ice skating, ice bumper cars, wildlife habitat encounters, Smoky Mountain bobsled, rock wall, jump pillow, and more. New this season, the Sky Village Express chairlift takes guests to the highest lift-served peak in the Smokies at 3,455 feet — with a brand new scenic deck showcasing sweeping views across the mountains. A full family adventure day, right on your doorstep.

Entertainment & Game Room
The lower-level game room is a great retreat for all ages after a full day of exploring.
- Pool Table
- Multicade Arcade
- Movie Area
- Board Games

Outdoor Living
Spring transforms the decks at Mountain Moonrise into some of the best seats in the Smokies.
- Main Level Deck: Dining table firepit — perfect for meals with mountain views
- Upper Deck: Gathering firepit for s'mores, stargazing, and evening conversations. "The fire table on the top deck was our favorite to wake up and drink coffee and watch the sun set," shared one guest.
- Lower Deck: Private hot tub with panoramic mountain scenery
- Covered seating, gas grill, and sweeping views throughout

Family-Friendly Amenities
Traveling with kids is easy and stress-free with everything thoughtfully provided:
- Pack 'n Play
- High Chair and Baby Bathtub
- Kids' Utensils, Books, and Toys for Early Readers
One parent raved, "They provide pack 'n play, toddler bathtub, kids' tableware, and games!"

Disliked: Cleanliness
I will start with the positive. Our host was attentive and answered all of our questions.However The listing is very misleading. It’s a small space that lacks attention to detail. The bathroom toilet had urine along the bottom, the mattress cover was grossly stained. The walls were beat up and lacked a good painting. The remotes to the fans didn’t work and the baseboards were lined with dirt and hair. I would definitely not go back. The house overall needs tlc and obviously lacks attention. We had trouble with locks and had to call the host to get in bc the lock wasn’t programmed for our arrival and then had trouble unlocking it several times having to enter our code numerous times before it would unlock. . My husband hurt his back two days before the trip and the host was unwilling to work with us in anyway, even postponing the dates. The worst part is after communicating the troubles with the rental they did offer us a discount in exchange for not leaving a negative review. People need to know what they’re getting! The kurig part of the coffee pot is broken! So be careful how much water you put in it. I would rate this rental mediocre at best! I provided the owner with pictures to sustain our complaints.

This house is truly stunning and has everything you need for a stay in the mountains. Being off the bypass is super convenient to both sides of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The views from the house are amazing and the area is super quiet. Perfect for couples or a small family. This was our second stay and we will be rebooking again soon.

Joyce was the perfect host. And her place is immaculate. The views did not disappoint. We walked in everything was beautifully decorated and not a spot of dust anywhere in the house. Everything she said that would be there was there plus more. She checked on us almost daily. There were no real issues with the house, but one of the TVs definitely not working up to par we did not complain. We just wanted to let her know she was ready to get a contractor to come change it that day. Amazing place, and the perfect host. If you’re thinking of going to Gatlinburg, you should definitely look into staying here.

This is an outstanding property in a beautiful neighborhood and at a great location! The view is absolutely breathtaking. The house is cozy and clean, with a variety of family friendly amenities. Our boys thoroughly enjoyed the game room. This was our first time staying here and only for two days busy with activities, mainly outside the property, so we did not get to enjoy the hot tub. We are definitely looking forward to return again! Our host, Joyce, provided very responsive communication and gave us a very thoughtful option for a later checkout due to a snowstorm on a previous day. However, we were impressed how quickly the city authorities took care of the roads even in frigid weather. Definitely another reason to love this location.

Stunning property in super convenient location

The pictures accurately describe how amazing this property is and the incredible view. You are just minutes from the park, downtown Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge. It is up a steep and winding hill, so if you get car sick easily, maybe not the place for you. The 3rd floor balcony was the best spot for watching the sunrise and sunset and a perfect spot at night with the firepit going to hang out. The house has everything you could need. We loved that it was already decorated for Christmas. You will not be disappointed if you book this property for your getaway.

Stunning View

Our family tries to come to the Smoky Mountains every year and this is by far the best cabin we’ve stayed in. The photos do not do the view justice. Watching the sunrise on the mountains was breathtaking and seeing the colors change as the light of the sun disappeared was just beautiful. The home had everything we needed, the beds were all very comfortable and the bathrooms were just beautiful. There were so many cozy spaces throughout the home. The kids enjoyed their space downstairs with the arcade games and pool table and the adults enjoyed the fire pit on the top balcony in the evenings. We even got to see a bear in the yard scratching itself on a tree which was so cool! The location of the home was perfect for us. It was close enough to everything yet you didn’t feel like you were a part of the hustle and bustle of the city. Joyce was wonderful at communicating with us and checking in to make sure everything was going well or to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be back again!

Great stay above the clouds.

Saturday to Wednesday stay and all but the last day we say bears at the cabin. No harm to the cars as long as you lock the doors and keep the food in the house. Now the view, first two days were sunny and lit up all the mountains right off any of the three decks. The last day was raining all day, but the clouds were below the cabin allowing peeks at the mountains as they came in and out of the clouds. Ohh, and the house was very nice if you decide to go in and not stay on the porch.

Beautiful views

The properrty is BEAUTIFUL! We did have a few issues, as in the washer smelled of absolute mold and made our clothes stink horribly after being washed, not enough towels. There were plenty of bears visiting the area and we wanted to see them, but the windows were so dirty it was hard to see out of them. But othwerwise it was a nice stay, clean fresh water, nice warm hot tub (had it turned down due to children and being pregnant) plenty of entertainment for our 5 and 10 year olds. Our bed was pretty comfortable for being firm, the other was spring-y and felt worn out. It kind of sucked that the foosball table was in a bedroom, and there wasnt enough room to play pool (we hit the walls several times, but a nice concept)

My extended family of 6 enjoyed a wonderful week here. Plenty of space for everyone. We appreciated the large dining table on the covered second floor deck, and the fire feature in the middle of the table. It was a great space to dine and enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains. The location was great, only a 10 minutes drive to Gatlinburg and the National Park. We would definitely stay here again.
