Lucky D III

My husband & I stay with Mountain Laurel Chalets every year. We love Lucky D III & stay there any time we can reserve it. It has a breath taking view & is an older one but well furnished & cozy. The staff is always kind, friendly. & helpful. We love being a Family First member & love MLC for all our vacation needs.

Lucky D III is awesome, and so are y'all! See you again soon!!

Our stay at Lucky D was great! We loved the view from the porch. What was especially cool is that there was a natural wild animal trail right behind the house, so we had high hopes of seeing bears, and we did! A mama and 3 babies came right up the back of the house and around the front, then walked down the driveway next to our vehicles while we watched from the front door. It is an older cabin that is being remodeled one portion at a time, but that didn’t bother us at all and there is more that has already been redone than what hasn’t. The inside was immaculately cleaned. The down pillows were nice and the sheets were amazingly soft!

I love Lucky D III's mid century modern feel. They have one chair I really want to take home with me! The view is great also. We had a very polite bear visit also!

Kim W - Posted: 4/19/2024

We love Lucky D III! It has AMAZING views and porches that are good for just sitting and enjoying the peace and quiet of the Smokies!

Beth S - Posted: 4/19/2024

We had an amazing time! The office staff were great & so friendly. We did have to call them for the first time in all the years of staying with Mountain Laurel & the maintenance man was there in a very short time. Thanks for all you do for your guests, it is so appreciated!

When visiting Gatlinburg, I will stay nowhere else but a Mountain Laurel property. The personal touch, the attention to detail, the assortment and condition of the properties ... everything is first-class and beyond. I am so grateful for the staff, and so thankful for every stay I have!

David C. - Posted: 8/12/2023

Our stay was wonderful I love this home! And the view was amazing. We had one issue when the refrigerator went out but I knew I could count on Mountain Laurel's staff to respond quickly and provide a resolution. Since the refrigerator couldn't be fixed they brought another one to us.

Tammy V. - Posted: 7/8/2023

Happy we could get you guys taken care of!

The home is older and has had some really great renovations, but more is needed. Still, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks again.

6th stay with mtn laurel and planning another later this year

Chris Robison - Posted: 3/3/2023

We stayed in Lucky D III for 5 nights. The view was great but the property was neglected. Upon arriving, we noticed that the property was neglected due to debris left behind from a handyman. The beautiful windows were also full of smudges. There was lots of debris at the front entrance, as well as on the balconies (hadn’t been swept). It wasn’t clean. I wore flip flops in the chalet the entire time even in tiled bathroom shower. The washer and dryer are very old and took several cycles to dry our clothes. The kitchen and living room have been renovated but needed a good deep clean. The bedrooms are located on the lower level and that’s where the lack of cleaning was really noticed as well. Lots of dust and cobwebs in bedrooms. Mildew in the showe. Also, the king bed mattress frame would not stay connected. On the upper floor balcony, the roof is rotting so that made for some embarrassing photos sent home to friends and family. After reading a review I left, the CEO did reach out to me and apologize but this didn’t erase the fact that our vacation was made uncomfortable due to the chalet conditions.

Celeste Boudreaux - Posted: 6/1/2022

Lucky D Iii was a very nice chalet. We enjoyed our stay. We saw one bear during our stay. Only recommendation would be to update mattress, they weren’t very comfortable. Also upgrade cookware, fry pans were all scratched up, couldn’t use them.

Ronald D. - Posted: 5/21/2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view is spectacular. Cabin is nicely decorated. Enjoyed the hot tub. Only recommendation I can make is supplying new cookware. Pans were all scratched up

Lisa - Posted: 5/1/2022

Very nice room, very clean, and amazing view. The only complaint was the beds were very uncomfortable and hard to fall asleep on.

Anonymous - Posted: 4/21/2022

Lucky D III truly does have an amazing view; you can get a great look at Ober Gatlinburg, which is one of the many attractions that Gatlinburg has to offer. Our cleaning crew does a fantastic job of making sure all the houses are nice and tidy for our guests, and this beautifully decorated house makes for a great family stay. We are so glad that you overall enjoyed your visit, and we hope to see you again soon.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. The view is exceptional! If you like to be high on the mountain, this is the place for you.

Jennifer C. - Posted: 4/11/2022

Jennifer, thank you for continually booking with us! We always strive to give our guests the best mountain experience. The view of the Smoky Mountains from Lucky D III is truly exceptional, and the beautifully decorated inside is the perfect place to spend quality time with loved ones. We are so glad that you were able to enjoy your stay, and we hope to see you again soon!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Loved staying in Lucky D III!!
Didn’t spend too much time there while the weather was nice, but even with snow, rain, or shine, it had a fantastic view! Especially from the hot tub!

Downsides, we noticed our bed wasn’t staying connected(underneath at frame) and there was dirt/popcorn under one of the couches(we moved it to see the tv better), and tile shower could have been a little more clean.

Overall, great experience. Would recommend!

Jessica P. - Posted: 4/8/2022

Yes! We agree that Lucky D III offers a fantastic view no matter what the weather is. Mountain Laurel always strives to create the best guest experience possible and the expectations of our guests, so we thank you for notifying us of your concerns. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us, and we hope to have you back again with us soon!

We loved our stay here for 6 nights! It's not the newest cabin/house, but really well decorated, updated in the last several years, modern conveniences, and everything we needed for the 4 of us. We loved the double decks & the hot tub! The views are amazing - the best we've had in our many trips to the smokies. And on our last night we finally saw a momma bear & her three cubs on the slope right below the hot tub & we watched them forage & meander along - best experience! (No issues with bear, just great viewing!) Highly recommend this spot & Mountain Laurel in general, best company to work with!

Chris R. - Posted: 4/2/2022

Lucky D III is the perfect place for an extended stay! The furniture and décor inside really make it feel like a home. We also love the double decks that allow you optimal viewing of the mountains! Another great feature is the covered carport that is attached to the house. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us, we continue to strive to provide our customers with unforgettable trips to the Smokies.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We had a wonderful time in Gatlinburg while staying at Lucky D III. The view from the chalet is stupendous! We got to watch all the activity at Ober Gatlinburg, and the coming & going of the tram. The driveway is tricky, and if you're in a large vehicle be aware that turning around is a process. We thoroughly enjoyed the upstairs living area, but feel that certain areas, especially downstairs, could use updating. The house was clean and well-outfitted with dishes, glasses, etc. We especially enjoyed the upper deck, and the hot tub was great and extremely clean.

Cheryl L. - Posted: 3/1/2022

Yes! Lucky D III offers its guests a fantastic view of the mountains. It is in fantastic location to enjoy all of the sights below, while also just being a short drive to the attractions in the city. We are so glad to hear that you had a great time on your visit with us, and we would love to have you back again soon!

This is our 7th or 8th cabin rental since 2020. Lucky DIII will, most certainly, be one of two cabins that we will book from here on out. Terrific views, the kitchen is very spacious. The parking might make a few people nervous upon approach but, trust me, it's safe. I was able to pull my Sierra in forwards and had enough room to turn around to exit. The master bedroom has a fireplace which is perfect for special occasions. We were celebrating our anniversary and were there Feb 10th thru the 15th. It snowed once but there were zero concerns driving up and down the mountain. You're 1.4 miles from Ober Gatlinburg. We usually park there and take the tram downtown. Excellent choice!

This was our 12th stay at Lucky D III and it was a marvelous as each time before. The renovations the owners have made are wonderful, but it's still our mid-century haven. Experiencing a good snowfall here is exceptional!

Konnie S. - Posted: 1/23/2022

Wow, we are so glad that you have enjoyed Lucky D III enough to have visited it 12 times! It is guests like you that make Mountain Laurel feel like a family. We also love the renovations that the homeowners have made, and the view is still just as good as ever. We cannot wait to see you again!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We love this Chalet. Second stay in Lucky D III. Great location. Great back deck views! The Ober slope and tubing lanes to the right, Mt Lecompte straight ahead, and at night, some of Gatlinburg lights to the left. Another great feature of this chalet is that it is a good enough distance from ( (including some trees between,)both next door neighbors, whereby allowing enough auditory privacy to visit on one's deck, as well as if a neighbor smokes, one won't smell it. Have visited this area 10x and rented several vacation properties( 4 rentals with Mountain Laurel and have been very pleased with this company and have recommended both this property and Mountain Laurel Chalets to friends.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We have been vacationing at the Lucky D III for about 12 years and love it more each time! It's all about that mid-century vibe, but each time we come up, the owners have updated it! The upgraded kitchen is just divine and the new LR recliner/sofas are awesome. The view is unsurpassed and they keep the vegetation at bay so that view is unobstructed. We vacation all over the world and Lucky D is a favorite!

Konnie S. - Posted: 11/20/2021

Wow..what a nice review. We will pass this on to the owners of Lucky D III who take great pride in their home. As a management company and renovation experts, we were thrilled to partner with them in the kitchen remodel. We think it is divine!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Having honeymooned in the Smokies 37 years ago, we have returned dozens of times throughout the years on our anniversary and have stayed at numerous chalets. Lucky D is one of our definite favorites. You won’t get a better view or a better feeling of being secluded in the mountains. With 2 balconies, 2 wood burning fireplaces, and a hot tub we had everything we needed for our romantic week in the mountains. Also loved the updated kitchen and outdoor grilling area. We were sad to leave but can’t wait to return to Lucky D. What an amazing place.

Jeffrey D. - Posted: 11/8/2021

Thank you Jeffrey! It is so great to hear that you continually enjoy staying in our chalets year after year; it is guests like you who truly help Mountain Laurel to feel like a family! We agree that Lucky D III is a fantastic chalet that has everything you need for a perfect mountain vacation, and the view is one that is not easy to beat. We are so looking forward to having you back for your next visit to the Smokies!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We really enjoyed staying at Lucky D III. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed to cook meals in. The renovated kitchen is great and the view is amazing. A few areas need updating but it was an overall great experience. We will definitely stay here again!!

Thank you Justina! We also love the renovations in Lucky D III and think that it just adds to the overall great experience that it offers. We can't wait for you to stay here with us again!

Great trip! We saw Mama Bear and her three cubs on our first morning.

Jennifer C. - Posted: 10/4/2021

Yay, we are so glad to be having you back! Lucky D III is a chalet that is hard to leave, but very easy to come back to. At Mountain Laurel we want to be good stewards of our guests, and having them return allows us another opportunity to do just that!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

The chalet was very clean and comfortable. Love the new kitchen, especially the large kitchen sink and the faucet. All the furnishings were all very comfortable and the view was spectacular from everywhere. Some of the areas need a little work. The closet doors along with some woodwork and caulking are needed throughout the chalet. We enjoyed our stay. Didn’t see any bear but had fun reading the notes other guests wrote that did see bears on their visit!

Thank you Deborah, Lucky D III is a great chalet that offers a beautiful view to its guests, along with much more! We always want our guests have a great experience, and for us to exceed their expectations, so we appreciate your feedback. Hearing about our guests getting to see bears is something we love, so we are sorry you didn't get to experience that, but sometimes reading others experiences is just as fun! We hope to have you back soon.

Great place, great view.! Seen a Bear and 3 cubs first 5 minutes of arrival. No one went on the lower deck again..! Lolz..! Lots of lights at night from Ober Gatlinburg. Kinda cancels out star gazing. But want affect your Chill time..! Thanks for having this place for rental.

Howard E. - Posted: 6/7/2021

Thank you Howard. We are so glad that you had a great time! Lucky D III is an absolutely beautiful property, and it is always fun to be able to look at the lights from Ober Gatlinburg. We would love to see you back with us soon!

We enjoyed our 10 day stay at Lucky D III. No complaints. The updates to the home were very nice. The description and photos were accurate. The property was clean and well-maintained. It's always a pleasure renting from Mountain Laurel Chalets. The staff are cheerful, kind and willing to help if there is something you should need. It's nice to be able to connect with a person and not a voicemail. We are coming back again this October 2021 and renting from M.L.C. again. We have been renting a different chalet each visit and have never been disappointed. Many thanks to the owner(s) and to the staff at Mountain Laurel Chalets.

Chris S. - Posted: 5/16/2021

It is great to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Lucky D III, we also love all of the updates to the house, and it just makes it feel all the more like home. We always want to give our guests the best rental experience possible, and treat them as family, so we are glad that you have been able to experience that with us. It is going to be great to have you stay with us again soon!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We really enjoyed our visit to Gatlinburg. We were very happy with our accommodations which was everything we expected and more. The Chalet was spotless and the views were amazing. The hot tub was cleaned and turned on for us. The area was perfect. We will be back.

Deborah H. - Posted: 5/7/2021

We love Girls Getaways! There is no better place to spend time with your besties than in a beautiful mountain cabin with a breathtaking view. We are glad to hear we exceeded your expectations! We look forward to having you back.

Lucky D III is the best of the best Chalet that we have stayed at with Mount Laurel Chalets. So clean. The kitchen has all new appliances. I love all the owl decor and wood floors. I love that the bedrooms are downstairs. The view is breathtaking. Pictures do not do it justice. An added bonus... BEARS. We seen a bear everyday/night (on the master bedroom side.

BECKY D. - Posted: 5/1/2021

Thank you Becky! We also love Lucky D III and the absolutely beautiful view that it offers. It is the perfect place to enjoy a morning relaxing and watching the sunrise. It would be great to have you back with us soon!

A comfortable cabin with a panoramic view. It was a wonderful place to curl up with a good book and watch the clouds roll by. We've worked with MLC for years and look forward to many more trips.

Tom C. - Posted: 4/10/2021

So nice to have you back! If a breath-taking view is what you are looking for, then you picked the perfect cabin for your stay. Lucky D III's view is fantastic during every kind of weather and even has a covered deck for those rainy or snowy days. We look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Absolutely love our stay! My husband and 5 year old twins loved the place and felt so comfortable! It was clean and spacious! The view was beautiful! It was close to downtown! We would stay again!

Lynn Y. - Posted: 4/4/2021

Thanks for the review and we are happy to hear that Lucky D III was perfect for your family. The furnishings and amenities are all great, but the view is the show stopper! So much to see with the ski lodge and cable car beneath you, Mt LeConte in the background and the lights from downtown Gatlinburg shimmering after dark. The covered porch is the perfect place to take it all in. We hope you are able to come back soon.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Our experience was fantastic!! The view was spectacular. We would definitely stay here again.

Bryn R. - Posted: 3/27/2021

Thanks for the review and we are glad you had a fantastic time at Lucky D III. The wall of windows on each floor brings the view up close and personal and watcing the activities of the ski lodge below is a special treat. Please come again soon.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We have been to the Gatlinburg area several times. We really loved the location of this rental - 10-15 minutes to town, but still had great views. It is hard driving up the mountain if you aren't used to it.

The rental itself is overall nice. The kitchen is fantastic and updated. Everything else is clean but dated. Nice decorations. Would suggest replacing the couches. Hot water for showers runs out quickly.

Despite my complaints above, we would return in a heartbeat because the cabin is clean, the hot tub is hot, and the views cannot be beat. We had no issues with the rental agency and very much enjoyed our stay.

Elizabeth H. - Posted: 3/18/2021

Thanks for the review and we are glad you had nice stay at Lucky D III. We will make sure the water heaters are working properly, but it is a residential water heater, so there is a limited supply of hot water, but there should be plenty for 4 people to take showers. The view definitely steals the show at this cabin and that's the reason for the wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling windows on the main level. We hope you are able to return soon.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Incredible views, very clean, what an amazing house to stay in on your Gatlinburg vacation. We will definitely be back to this gem!!

Christy H. - Posted: 3/14/2021

This house is everything you see in the pictures plus more. We stayed the last weekend of skiing at Ober Gatlinburg and you can watch the slopes from the hot tub. Parking could be tricky with a large vehicle but my recommendation is to pack groceries and just stay in this house and enjoy the view!

Anonymous - Posted: 3/12/2021

Thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Lucky D III. You were lucky yourself to be able to watch people skiing at Ober Gatlinburg this late in the year. It is rare that their season goes 100 days, but this year it did. Seems like you became an expert on navigating the driveway. It is a little trickier with an oversized vehicle, but it is doable and having a carport is a rare bonus. We look forward to your return.

Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Directions to the house were easy to follow. The house was clean and had just had a kitchen remodel. We experienced one plumbing issue but it was very quickly resolved. We loved the view and will definitely look to come back.

Josh P. - Posted: 2/14/2021

Thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We really appreciate you letting us know about the leak under the kitchen sink. It really helps to know these things after a remodel. Living in and using the new areas are the best ways to make these discoveries and it is most helpful when our guests pass this information on to the office instead of ignoring it. We hope you can return to the mountains again soon.

Justin, thanks for the review and we are glad you and your family enjoyed their stay at Lucky D III. The view of both Mt LeConte and the ski lodge are outstanding from every room of the chalet. We hope you are able to get away to the mountains soon.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We have stayed at a number of Chalets and loved them all. That being said, you can't beat the view Lucky D III gives you. You don't even have to go outside due to all the windows. Fortunately for us, it snowed and thus creating the perfect setting for what we were hoping for. The place was much larger than we expected and having 2 1/12 bathrooms was great! We will surely be back!

Daniel H. - Posted: 1/15/2021

Daniel, you are in for a big surprise the next time you visit Lucky D III. The chalet is closed for renovation and will reopen in February 2021 with an all new kitchen! We are so excited about the update and know our repeat Lucky D III guests will appreciate the new look. The view will Not Change and is spectacular of both Mt LeConte and the Ski Resort. How lucky you were to see snow AND the activity at the ski lodge below! We look forward to your return.

Thus chalet was perfect lodging, during a pandemic! While several places were either closed or not following State of Tennessee's distancing or capacity guidelines for restaurants, etc. The beautiful views from Lucky D III , helped make up for what the tourist attractions were lacking. Also, enjoyed delivery of delicious pizza from Chalet Village Market.

A mountain cabin IS the best place to socially distance during the pandemic. Having your own kitchen is so convenient and eliminates the need to visit busy restaurants during a holiday. Glad you enjoyed the pizza from Chalet Village Market, they are good people too! See you soon.

This cabin has been updated some since last stay there several years ago, but could still use some work. It is comfortable overall. Two toasters, and neither worked. More bath towels should have been furnished since exchange is no longer possible. Still one of the best views of any cabin!

Thank you for the review and you will be happy to hear that the homeowner is planning a kitchen remodel very soon.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

The chalet was very nice. Lots of room, and well equipped kitchen. Loved the master shower too! The view was absolutely breathtaking! Only one small suggestion, the kitchen could use a couple of pot holders. Will definitely go to this chalet again!

Outstanding experience - one of the best vacations we’ve had in a long time. The location was quiet and offered beautiful views. It was very convenient for touring Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and getting into Gatlinburg. We only wish we’d had more time... Be sure you follow the directions provided by the property management - it’s a much easier drive (GPS took us up some very steep slopes and hairpin turns).

James C. - Posted: 9/24/2020

Thanks for the review and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the chalet and our area. Following our map and directions is a very good tip to future travelers. There are quicker ways to get to this chalet, but the roads are much steeper and not as easy to navigate. We look forward to having you back soon.

Lucky D III is the gold standard for chalets in Gatlinburg. The view from the decks is spectacular, the property is updated, modern, and very comfortable, and the setting is private yet still close enough to civilization.

Everything - EVERYTHING - about Lucky D III is special, wonderful, comfortable, and memorable.

David C. - Posted: 9/12/2020

David, we are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay at Lucky D III. The owner puts a lot of love and attention into his mountain home and our guests recognize that. He has plans to do even more updating on the main floor and kitchen in the coming off season. Keep an eye out for the new pictures on the website next spring. We hope you are able to come back and enjoy the updates next year!

Thank you for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Lucky D III. The chalet does have a fantastic view of the mountains and Ober Gatlinburg All Seasons resort, which is especially fun to watch in the winter when it's ski season. We are glad you found the chalet clean and had everything you needed for a wonderful stay. Please come see us again soon!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Had a very nice realaxing vacation here. Easy no contact check in and check out. The place was very clean and spacious. Great view of the mountains and ober Gatlinburg. I even was able to watch the 11pm july 4th fireworks. I enjoyed the hottub and the 2 different balconies. Best part about my stay here was seeing bears. Everytime we were eating out on the balcony a bear would show up. Also while grilling a bear showed up. I will definitely be renting this place again for my next vacation there. No more renting hotels while visiting.

Thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Lucky D III and we are happy to hear you have discovered the secret of staying in a vacation rental. If you eat a few meals at home, it can be cheaper than a hotel, plus there are BEARS! We hope you are able to come again soon.

Great place. We have stayed here four times. Bears visited us two nights and tried to get into our truck, but thankfully it was locked. We watched them walk down the driveway, into the carport and try to open the doors. It was an interesting site to watch. Great view as well as relaxing. We will be staying there again.

Greg D. - Posted: 5/20/2020

Thanks for the review. Seeing bears is certainly a thrill and we are glad you had your doors locked, because they can get them open! Lucky D III has one of the best views on the mountain of Mt LeConte, the ski lodge and a bit of downtown Gatlinburg. We look forward to your return visit.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We had an awesome time! The cabin view was absolutely gorgeous. My husband thoroughly enjoyed watching the skiers during the day and especially at night as didi. The cabin was great we are planning our next stay. Please state in describing the cabin that it’s has stairs. Sees ya soon!!

This chalet has the best view of any we have rented. It was nicely furnished and the beds were very comfortable. Even the bed pillows were superior. The only suggestion I have is the kitchen needs a corkscrew. There are plenty of wine glasses and no corkscrew. We had a relaxing restful vacation. Loved Lucky D III.

James S. - Posted: 12/21/2019

Thanks for the review. The view from Lucky D III is hard to beat, especially when there are skiers on the ski slopes at Ober Gatlinburg. A corkscrew is an essential! We will make sure there is one there, but please ask at the office if you ever need anything like that because chances are we have a spare we can give you. We look forward to your return.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

This is the second time we have stayed in Lucy D III and once again, it did not disappoint. This chalet has the most spectacular view on the slopes at Ober. The chalet, itself, is extremely comfortable and provided two of the best nights sleep I have had in a long time.

Nicole H. - Posted: 12/19/2019

Thanks for the note and we are so glad you enjoyed your time at Lucky D III. If you don't do anything else but look at the mountains all day, it's time well spent. See you again soon.

Yes this chalet is little older but it has an abundance of character. The view is amazing and can be seen from almost any where via the glass windows on the main floor. The lower level provides 2 nice sized bedrooms with a deck connected to both of them. Master has a walk in shower and private bath.

The best think about this chalet is the breathtaking views. We watched the sun rise over the mountains and were greeted by 3 bears right below the deck. Such a peaceful place that we didn't want to leave. I recommend you visit Lucky D as you won't be disappointed.

Anonymous - Posted: 11/9/2019

A view from every room, well, except the bathrooms. The best thing about the view of Lucky D III is that there is so much to watch in any season. During the day, the magnificence of Mt LeConte and the changing weather. At night, the lights of Gatlinburg and the aerial tram as it glides into the station at the ski lodge all lit up. We are ready to welcome you back!

We love coming to Lucky D 111's,it is our favorite home of all the ones we've stayed with thru Mtn. Laurel. This was our 20th year of coming to Gatlinburg & the only disappointing thing I can say is that we saw no bears this time. The home is always clean & cozy with a view that is awesome. If you want a comfortable,mostly private,clean place to stay,this is the home for you.its not the fanciest home I have ever stayed in but the most loved by us!

Toni & Darrell D. - Posted: 10/27/2019

The older houses have the premium lots! The owner has made several upgrades over the years, the latest being "hog wire"" instead of pickets on both decks. Now the view from the covered porch is even better! We look forward to your return."

The chalet was equipped with everything one would need, Loved the decorations, it could use some upgrading, loved the covered carport especially when it rained, the outside lighting made it easier to see at night. We have been using mountain laurel for years and have never been disappointed with the chalets or the staff

Susan M. - Posted: 10/24/2019

Thank you for the review. Not many houses on the mountain offer a carport, so that is a nice feature. The owner is partial to a mid-century modern look and we are glad you enjoyed it as well. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

My wife and I, along with her brother-in-laws family stayed here for a long weekend. The rest of the family stayed down the mountain at another mountain laurel property. Everything was as described and the view is absolutely amazing. It is a neat house, functional, with plenty of space for everyone there.

We rent a chalet yearly. This chalet was very nice but could have been updated little more. The chairs on the lower level were cheap plastic that were not sturdy. The view is what makes the chalet. The deck was not clean when we arrived. It had a few candy wrappers on the deck. No big deal but it had cobwebs in most of the corners. Other than those few things we had a great time and will be back.

Joy A. - Posted: 8/11/2019

Thank you for review of Lucky D III. So glad you enjoyed your stay. So sorry you had any problems. I will relay your concerns of the deck chairs and the cleanliness of the deck to the proper person. Hope to see you again soon.

After seeing photos of this house, I was looking forward to staying here for my vacation and I was not disappointed. The views are amazing and it was nice looking out over Ober Gatlinburg and watching the trams go back and forth. The house is older, but has very comfortable furniture, was in really good condition and was very clean as all of the houses I've rented from Mountain Laurel Chalets have been. I hope to stay here again in the future and I would definitely recommend this house to others.

This was my second stay at this chalet within the last six months, so yes I do like this chalet, but it does need some attention. Both of our stays we found several light bulbs burned out or even missing. The front door could use new hardware and a few other updates would be nice, but all in all this is a wonderful place to stay and the view of the Ski Resort and the mountains is excellent. I'll stay here again.

We decided at the last minute to take a little weekend away and couldn't be happier with the cabin! Great view, fully stocked, plenty of room, and comfortable beds! We made a fire and just hung around. Our children loved watching the tram and the people at Ober. Our family needed some down time and this cabin was exactly what we needed!

Nicole H. - Posted: 1/11/2019

We really enjoyed our stay at Lucky D. The cabin was clean and well appointed with a magnificent view of Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort. We arrived the day after Christmas, and enjoyed the well staged Christmas decorations. The layout of the cabin was perfect and the beds and furniture were most comfortable. We arrived after closing hours and the instructions for late arrivals was a breeze. The entire process took less than a minute.

We think this is one of the best we have stayed in. View was great. Could watch Ober skiing, etc. into the night. Cabin was very clean and more cookware than we have ever seen. Snowed 1st night in cabin. Really was pretty. Could not get out but snowplow came by and scraped road. Built snowmen and lasted 3 days. Dark at night trying to find cabin because not many street lights. Office staff was very helpful. Beds were very comfortable.

James G. - Posted: 12/20/2018

Thanks for the review. Snow is fun, but can be inconvenient. Fortunately, you were on a city street that is plowed, but best to just hunker down and enjoy a nice fire in the fireplace. If you are not familiar with the roads, try to check-in before dark and find a landmark to make finding your driveway a little easier. We hope to see you again soon!

Have been using MLC for many years, but had never stayed in this home, but had always wanted to. I was not disappointed at all. Loved the location, the view, the carport, and the comfort of this property. I'll use it again and recommend it to anyone. Some of my favorite chalets were lost in the fire, but this one was very nice and very comfortable. Thank you also to MLC for always making me feel welcomed and for your hospitality.

This is our second time to stay at Lucky D. It has a great view of Ober Gatlinburg and the mountains. The leaves were jus beautiful. One morning when I looked out the back window there was a bear just sitting in the grass below the cabin. He hung around for a coupl if hours. I would definetly recommend this cabin.

Mountain Laurel Chalets was wonderful to work with, start to finish. Their communication with me before and after my reservation was always friendly and helpful, and they were always available during my vacation to answer questions or provide suggestions.

The chalet is perfect - it has beautiful views, and was impeccably clean. I just cannot say enough how special it is - I truly believe it has the best view of any chalet on the mountain.

I highly recommend the Alamo Steakhouse and Bennet's Barbecue; the Laurel Falls hike, any of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Visitor Centers, and ... just sitting on the deck of the Lucky D III, enjoying the peace, serenity, and tranquility.

Beautiful mountain views, hiking, and swimming made this a relaxing vacation. This is my third time renting Lucky D III; obviously I love the chalet! I could sit on the deck all day and look at the beautiful mountain views. Love the new flooring downstairs.
Mountain Laurel staff are the BEST to work with and my Granddaughter loved the stuffed bear (Ralph) that they gave us at check-in.
We also enjoy swimming at the club houses and all their staff are friendly and helpful also.
Thanks for another great stay....until next time!

The view from the window in this home is the definition of picture window! You can see Mt. LeConte, Ober Gatlinburg, and the lights of Gatlinburg at night. The home is clean and well kept. The furniture is nice and updated. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Some rooms could benefit from a coat of paint and minor repairs, but that didn't affect my opinion that this is a cozy home. It was a great layout for a family of four with two small children. You can shut the door at the top of the stairs to keep young ones from sneaking downstairs alone.

We enjoyed watching the trams coming and going from Ober Gatlinburg. We were just far enough away that we could see them but not hear them. The Lucky D is a great place to stay for one or two couples or a small family of four. This was our first time to rent a chalet in about 25 years but we will be coming back!

I love this cabin. Been there several times over past 10-15 years. Nice. Private. Clean.

Judy C. - Posted: 1/26/2018

Love Luvky D III, and have stayed here several times. The view is awesome, including Ober Gatlinburg, and the Tram. Recent updates are kind of retro (great)! Open concept with wall of Windows from living room, dining to kitchen. Miss the indoor whirlpool and hope they bring that back. Will definitely stay again. Mountain Laurel staff and process are wonderful to work with.

The staff at Mt. Laurel Chalet are very nice and easy to work with. The cabin was very nice. It has a great view of Ober and the mountains. The fall colors were beautiful. We have been coming for the last eight years and have used Mt. Laurel on most of our cabin rentals.

This was our 1st time back to Gatlinburg since the fire. Last November, we stayed in Sunset Point, leaving a week before the devastating fires. With Sunset Point destroyed, we needed a new place to stay. Given all of our positive experiences with Mtn Laurel, we weren't going to look anywhere else. Based upon the website, we selected Lucky D III. We were not disappointed. It was an emotional week visiting the areas destroyed by the fire, but it was also a week of new experiences.

We have stayed with mountain laurel chalets in the past for weekend getaways in the past really enjoy the views and also the convenience to Gatlinburg and also pigeon Forge for shopping restaurants and entertainment . And we would highly recommend it to a couples or family and friends just trying to get away for a vacation or a weekend getaway

Went down to see the eclipse, but love staying at this cabin and the one next door, Heaven's View. The new owners of Lucky D lll are embrassing the mid-century modern architecture of this cabin and replacing furniture pieces to match the structure. God bless these!
Always a great stay with Mountain Laurel Chalets, never any problems as we have had with some others. This cabin makes a great base camp for either beauty in The Great Smokies Park or all the fun, food and shopping of Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
We were here less than a month after the fires, and were amazed with the progress made since that time. The park and the surroundings showed little damage to nature, everything is "green and growing""."

Jeffrey P. - Posted: 8/20/2017

Things were really nice. Easy check in process. Great location. Enjoyed the stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. Relaxing.
Only issue we had were the carpenter ants. We left a plate and bowl in the sink overnight and the next morning they were everywhere. I guess part of being in the woods.
On a scale of 1 to 5 Probably a 4.5

Edith P. - Posted: 7/16/2017

We loved the chalet, the views are breathtaking. The high mountains, birds, and fireflies at night. If you are lucky you might see a bear right below your balcony. Very clean, spacious, and well maintained. We will be there again in Lucky D III. The only thing to keep in mind is the steep drive to the chalet might become a little intimidating at night.

Great views, awesome layout. Nice updates. Love to rent from Mountain Laurel . New key did not go , management was right out . He told us that he had just refilled hot tub, so wait a couple hours before using. Clean efficient and relaxing. Will definitely be back. Got to see mama bear and two cubs!

My wife and I have stayed at Lucky D III the last 2 summers. The view is breathtaking and the chalet was great. It was clean and comfortable and everything we looked for in a place to get away for a few days. The folks at Mtn. Laurel Chalets were very helpful and made sure we had a great week in Gatlinburg. I highly recommend it!

Glen S. - Posted: 6/19/2017

Lucky D III is an absolutely gorgeous and spacious cabin on the mountain top! The views are incredible and relaxing, the days seemed longer and calmer up there. This is my second time doing business with Mount Laurel Chalets and it was a pleasure! Extremely friendly/knowledgable staff and beautiful cabins to accommodate your stay. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars in some areas was because the cabin was difficult to keep cool and we did find 3 or 4 massive ants here and there but it is an older building and it is not a deal breaker in any way! Other than that, it was clean, well kept, updated and fully stocked with kitchenware, dinnerware, bathroom and linens! Plus the views!

This is my second stay at Lucky D III. I usually enjoy staying at different cabins but my Granddaughter wanted her younger sister to see this chalet. After our stay, I completely agree with her that this is the best chalet!

The updates by the new owner make the chalet more inviting without being too modern. Both decks and furniture are so comfortable and a great place to enjoy the view. The wall of windows allowed us to enjoy the mountains even when we were indoors. It was cool duing our stay so we had the screen doors open, what a treat in June. Love the carport too; it was raining when we arrived so this kept us dry!

We hiked to Grotto Falls (beautiful!), went to the Dixie Stampede, went to Clingman's Dome, rode the Ski Lift, ate at Smokey Mountain Brewery and Pottery House Cafe. Otherwise, we enjoyed the hot tub and chalet!

The folks at Mountain Laurel Chalets are the best. From our late arrival to locking ourselves out of the chalet, they were helpful and kind. I appreciate knowing that their properties are exactly what they advertise and their staff is always professional and helpful. Thank you!

The trek up the mountain is well worth the trip. The cabin was so nice and clean and the view was amazing.

Bonnie M. - Posted: 6/2/2017

A perfect relaxing weekend in a well appointed spacious cabin with an incredible view. Lucky D does not disappoint.

Anonymous - Posted: 5/25/2017

The home was well kept and was satisfied, however my sleeping experience was not satisfying. No air we had to rely on the outdoors and leaving the door open caused a lot of noise and the bedroom door would not latch so we were constantly having to keep something on either side of it to keep from it slamming. Also didn't realize how far up the mountain it was. I didn't much care for that drive. It was a bit scary especially at night and was hard to find the first time.

We spend our anniversary in Gatlinburg every year and this was a great place to stay. We have stayed with Mountain Laurel Chalets many, many times and have never had a bad experience.

Susan M. - Posted: 1/31/2017

Thank you for choosing Mountain Laurel Chalets to spend such a very special occasion! We look forward to your next visit!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Our check in was wonderful, we loved the cabin. We're so grateful for the rental company to contact us about the evacuation, we packed up and headed out only to discover it was to late to get off the mountain, fire was already crossing road on Red down. We ran into firefighters trying other road only to be told no way down. We followed Fireman to Ober Gatlinburg and remained in the ice skating rink along with around 20 others for the night. Searc & Rescue got us at 9:30 am. So we lost 2 nights of our stay because of Fire. We hope & pray the Lucky DIII survived the fire. Just a wonderful location.

Jan F. - Posted: 11/26/2016

This place was great. The drive up the mountain is not too bad, but it will take you about 10 mins to get to town. But totally worth it. The cabin was clean and we had plenty of everything. The wall to wall windows are spectacular and we liked how all the bedrooms are downstairs. Hot tub was awesome too. Great location near Ober, too. You can park and walk to all the shops and restaurants. We would stay here again in a minute.

Amy C. - Posted: 10/27/2016

Great mountain view. House was older but very clean. Hot tub needs replaced/upgraded. Multiple jets not working. Cable tv and wifi were enjoyable. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Lucky D III.

I think this was our third or fourth visit to Lucky D lll. This unit and the one next door (Heaven's View) are our very favorite on the mountain. The view is amazing as is the cabin itself. Always clean and well equipped. The layout with the bedroom on the lower lever works very well as the bedrooms/bathrooms are well separated and very private. I was glad to see the new owner is embracing the "mid-century modern"" architecture - would love to see that go further! "

Jeffrey P. - Posted: 4/15/2016

The property was clean and bright, and the layout was perfect for my family (the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, and our 2-year-old had his own room down the hall). The hot tub was a great distraction after a long day of hiking--be forewarned that Rainbow Trail is twice as long as the brochures say it is. Be sure to spend at least 1 morning looking at the sunrise and 1 evening looking at the sunset: it doesn't have to be the same day, but both views are awesome. My family would stay there again and again. The trip up the mountain seems long at first, but it is well worth the trip. Five stars.

Jonathan C. - Posted: 3/20/2016

Hands down best view, location and comfortable chalet. Could not ask for any thing different. Enjoyed our stay tremendously!!

We completely enjoyed our stay. Every step of the reservation thru check out process was seamless and stress free. Everything worked. Plenty of dishes, cookware, and silverware. Only thing missing was a pitcher for tea. We would definitely recommend this chalet to friends. And we will make it our first option on our next visit.

Keith P. - Posted: 1/29/2016

I would say our experience overall was good and would consider renting this cabin again. The positives are that the location was great. We loved the view of Ober Gatlinburg! I was surprised how well we could see the skiers and tubers from the cabin. The roads to the cabin were winding but after traveling them once, it wasn't hard to know your way to the cabin. I would recommend not driving a large truck as it is hard to turn around in the driveway. The cabin was clean and we loved the hot tub. The main negative was the outdated furnishings and carpet. It the cabin was updated and the carpet was replaced, this cabin would be perfect. The cabin did have a slight odor because it is older but nothing that we didn't get used to. Overall, I would recommend this cabin if you are okay with the lack of updates.

This cabin has a neat view of Ober and a beautiful view of the mountains. Kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was comfy and we loved this place. The staff at Mountain Laurel are simply the best- the reason we rent from them again and again! Thanks for another lovely stay!

Home was well cared for, yes it is an older home but it is very obvious that the home has been taken care of. View is wonderful. to those complaints about parking and the roads up to the home....If you have the slightest clue how to drive it is not an issue at all. Staff at check in was very helpful and nice.

Gary M. - Posted: 11/20/2015

Breathtaking view, lots to see from the deck: ie, Ober Gatlinburg, the Mountains, the Tram, Lights from the City. Will stay at the Lucky D III every chance we get.

Larry K. - Posted: 11/16/2015

We had a wonderful time. I so appreciated that you were able to change our reservation when my husband suffered a pinched nerve in his leg. You were very helpful in everything. This was truly a memory we will cherish for years to come. Anna Grace loved the hot tub. She is three years old and woke me up each morning with "let's go in the hot tub."" Thank you so much!"

The house is exactly as pictured. The home is older but comfortable. The views are so nice throughout the home. Typical mountain drive to the house, but close to all the area attractions. Very nice.

This was our 3rd stay at Lucky D III. We love the layout and the view from this chalet. We also had a visit from one of the local bears every evening. Our favorite restaurants in the area are: Huck Finns, The Diner, and of course Sawyers for Breakfast. We did notice that some of the furniture is beginning to look a little old and tired. But it is still comfortable and functions well. You will not be disappointed with your stay in this chalet or your experience with Mountain Laurel Chalet rentals.

Good experience, except the extra bed was broken...got fixed day 2.( Quick response) Also there was a bush growing up by the driveway that blocked the view of the road. This should come down for safety reasons. Loved the birds and the view. There were a lot of wasps on the front and back corners of the home. The dryer is on its last leg, lots of noise.

Julie F. - Posted: 8/1/2015

Beautiful view, nice layout, airy with windows on the mtn view, clean,kitchen well stocked, 2 decks, our family had a wonderful stay ,would definitely recommend this chalet...
