About this property
Ridge Retreat: Life's Better on the Ridge
Tucked into a peaceful forested setting in Pigeon Forge with distant mountain views from the deck and hot tub, Ridge Retreat is a 5-bedroom, 3-bath cabin for groups who want comfort, solid entertainment, and the kind of wooded mountain atmosphere that makes it hard to leave — all with a pet-friendly policy so no one gets left behind. Sleeps 14.
The main living area strikes the right balance between rustic character and relaxed comfort — a seasonal fireplace (October through late February), natural light, and wooded views from the windows that keep the space feeling connected to the surrounding forest. The covered deck is where it all comes together: a shaded perch above the treeline with long-range mountain views and enough patio furniture for the whole group to settle in and stay a while.
Entertainment
The game room has a pool table and arcade to keep things competitive, and WiFi is available throughout. Whether the evening turns into a full game tournament or everyone migrates to the deck with a drink, there's always a good option.
Hot Tub & Outdoor Spaces
The outdoor hot tub is positioned to take full advantage of the forested surroundings and distant mountain views — perfect after a full day at Dollywood or on the trails. After the soak, the fire pit is the natural next stop as the evening winds down. The covered deck with patio furniture gives everyone a comfortable outdoor living room from arrival to checkout.
Bedrooms & Baths
Five bedrooms sleep 14 across a well-thought-out layout. Two king bedrooms each have a private en-suite bath — great for couples or anyone who wants extra privacy. A queen bedroom has its own private bath as well. Two additional bedrooms — one queen and one with two bunk beds — share the remaining bath, making them a natural fit for kids. A sleeper sofa handles overflow for the full group.
Kitchen
Fully equipped for a crowd: stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, coffee maker, full cookware and dishes. A charcoal grill out back keeps dinner options open. Linens and towels provided; washer and dryer on-site for longer stays.
Location
Prime Pigeon Forge — close to downtown, The Island, and Dollywood, with restaurants, shops, and attractions just minutes away. Four parking spaces, pet-friendly, and the wooded calm of the cabin waiting at the end of every day.
