Nice stay in Pigeon Forge

My family and I enjoyed staying at the Mansard House. We brought our two dogs and it was amazing to have the fenced yard for them to run and play in! The location is fantastic for doing things in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the National Park! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the nice, pet friendly accommodations!!

Cute cabin , everything we needed. The fenced yard was wonderful for our fur babies. Close to town, but far enough away for privacy. Definitely one of our favorite cabins. Thank you Tim for your generosity and allowing us to stay on your property.

Great Christmas vacation stay!

We enjoyed our time at this property so much! Quaint and cute cottage with plenty of room for us plus our puppy. The house was warm and cozy, and provided everything we needed for a great stay over the holidays. The roads are a little scary leading up to it because they’re narrow but other than that, the property itself we thought was perfect! The owner was wonderful and extremely helpful With everything. Would definitely recommend, and would love to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Kresica

Host profile image
I achieved and enjoyed success within the building products industry for many years. Born and raised in Chicago, my education and career path eventually led to opportunities in both Florida and North Carolina. In 2014, the majesty of the Great Smoky Mountains beckoned me to Tennessee where I now live and work as Resident Manager of Havens on the Ridge in Pigeon Forge.

My work ethic has always been on a dedication to rendering quality products and services, and fulfilling customer needs in an uplifting, positive way. With every undertaking and objective, I apply my belief that attention to details is important. Havens on the Ridge reflect and confirm this belief.
Personally, Tim enjoys amateur photography….engages the great outdoors…..and embraces faith-based worship.

Why they chose this property

Eastern Tennessee's beauty, tempo, and sense of community are enjoyable throughout four distinct seasons. Prompted by a lifelong affection for the Great Smoky Mountains, my real estate search led to a unique opportunity for developing an existing property into a mountain retreat for adults desiring tranquil, serene respite on a year-round basis. Havens on the Ridge is ideally located a short distance from nature's towering majesty as well as the entertainment and adventures of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg.

The property was originally owned by The Blackburn Family whose family tree includes Michael Blackburn who achieved notoriety as the World's Greatest Sharpshooter. It's history sparked a special interest within me, and each day I'm thankful to now call Havens on the Ridge my home.

What makes this property unique

Beyond the tranquility, privacy, and comfort of Havens on the Ridge, we strive to provide a "home-away-from-home" getaway that also offers an "away from it all" feeling at the same time. Having a Resident Manager onsite ensures any need or issue that might arise during your stay will be dealt with promptly
