Hi, I'm a retired paramedic who fell in love with the Smokies and created this cozy chalet to offer others the peace I’ve found here. This was a dream to have one day therefore I manage Whispering Bears Chalet myself so that it feels like your home away from home. My husband and I share our lives with 3 dogs, a sassy parrot, and a cat who clearly runs the show. I believe everyone deserves a space to unwind — may your time here bring fresh air, rest, and a little mountain magic.
