Family Christmas Chalet | Fireplaces & Game Room

Soak in the covered hot tub under the stars, just 1 mile from downtown Gatlinburg—welcome to Heiden on Echo, your luxury A-frame retreat in the Smokies. Hidden in the trees with frequent bear sightings and thoughtful touches for every generation, this fully renovated 3-level cabin is where memories are made—whether you're traveling with toddlers, teens, or the whole crew.

✨ Why You'll Love It ✨
Nestled in the heart of nature but close to everything, Heiden on Echo offers the best of both worlds. Start your day with pancakes in the forest-view dining room, spend afternoons chasing adventure in the National Park, and come home to unwind around the fire table or in the 6-person hot tub beneath a covered gazebo.

From 4 arcade machines and shuffleboard to a dedicated kids' playroom and retractable baby gates, this cabin was designed for families who travel well together. Rainy day? No problem. Cozy up by one of two fireplaces (Oct–May), stream your favorites on smart TVs throughout the home, or challenge the kids to a game of Connect 4 or pool.

🐻 Bear Sightings Galore
You're staying in a high bear activity area—which is part of the Smoky Mountain magic! Many guests book just for the chance to spot our curious (and sometimes bold) black bear neighbors. Keep your car doors locked, admire them from a safe distance, and enjoy this rare and unforgettable experience.
