1336 S Baden Drive, Gatlinburg, TN 37738

Set among mature trees with two wraparound deck areas overlooking the wooded hillside, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom vintage Mansard chalet has the kind of private setting that guests pay a premium for AND its walking distance to the entrance of Ober Mountain Ski Resort, just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, and right on the doorstep of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's also across the street from the Owner'c Club of Chalet Village, which features pools, tennis courts, clubhouse and a playground. City-maintained roads make it accessible year-round. Services include city water, trash pick-up and fiber-optic high speed internet. By now you've noted a number of reasons why Chalet Village is considered the best location for an STR. Inside, more than 2,700 square feet unfolds across three distinct levels. The main floor centers on a great room with an open living and dining layout and a mountain stone fireplace that earns its keep on cool mountain evenings. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the level. The loft above adds two more bedrooms, a den, and a second bath. Then there is the lower level featuring a large recreation room with a second fireplace, a fifth bedroom, a third bathroom, a private theater room and a sauna. The rental program is established and the location is among the most convenient in the area. For buyers looking for a personal retreat with serious upside, this one is worth a close look.
