Tucked away on a mountain side in the Great Smoky Mountains, stands a beautiful mountain cabin where the stars burn bright above the treetops and the mountain air is crisp and clean. Wilderness Ridge is a hidden gem of a cabin where you can truly unwind and experience the magic of the Smoky Mountains.

Wilderness Ridge is located in the heart of beautiful Wears Valley just a couple of minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The family adventures of Pigeon Forge are an easy drive 15 minutes away. The quiet side of the Smokies Townsend is just down the road 7 miles. And, you can miss the traffic by taking a scenic drive through the Park to Gatlinburg in a leisurely 25 minutes.

This cozy 2-bedroom cabin exudes warmth and comfort. The main level features a comfortable living area with a vaulted ceiling and a wall of windows that welcomes the morning light. Cozy furniture is centered around a large stone fireplace and flat screen TV to create a great place for family or friends to enjoy a warm fire and watch a good movie or sporting event.

The well stocked kitchen, complete with new dishes, new silverware, and new cookware, makes meal prep a joy. It has stainless appliances and a farmhouse sink. There is a large gas grill located on the deck for cooking your favorite recipes. Relax and enjoy a country breakfast or a barbeque dinner at the large wooden dining table or move outside on the deck to dine in the fresh air.

Inside, on the main level, there is a comfortable master bedroom with a king bed, furniture and TV. Adjacent to it is a small bedroom with twin bunk beds, a desk and TV, perfect for playful children. You can access the bunk room through the master bedroom or through the screened in porch area. A full bathroom with a standing shower is located between the kitchen and bedroom area.

Upstairs, the loft bedroom offers an airy escape. It has an attractive queen bed, antique cabinet, a reading area and tree top views from the side and front windows. A private bathroom with a tub/shower is attached. For your baby, a new high chair and a new multifunctional pack and play are in the cabin and available for your use.

For game lovers, the lower level of the cabin features a game room with a new multicade arcade machine that houses over 60 games from various decades. The game room which also has a comfortable sofa and TV is the perfect spot for the family to unwind after a day of activities.

From the deck, a partial view majestic of Cove Mountain, one of the tallest mountains in the area at 4,077 feet and Roundtop Mountain grace the horizon. You may see the infamous blue smoke rising on them after a rain or the vibrant colors of sunrise or sunset lingering behind them.

The world around the cabin is alive with the sounds of rustling leaves and bird calls. Keep an eye out for bears with cubs, a fox, turkeys or deer that could pass through the yard or woods. The screened in porch room, the wrap around porch, and the bubbling hot tub are all wonderful places to savor the great outdoors.

Wilderness Ridge is located in a quiet, spacious gated community. Untouched by the rush of the world, Wilderness Ridge is the perfect cabin for friends and families that want a Smoky Mountain refuge close to Smoky Mountain adventures.

Emotional Support Animals: Per official ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidance, emotional support animals (ESAs) are not covered by federal public accommodations laws. We do not accept emotional support animals in non-pet friendly cabins since these animals are not protected by any applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations regarding short term lodging in Tennessee. Renters with emotional support animals may only bring their ESA with them if they are staying in a pet friendly cabin and pay the relevant $100.00 non-refundable pet fee. Renters with service animals for a disability are explicitly protected under both federal and state law. The ADA defines service animals as dogs that have been “trained to perform a task directly related to a person’s disability.” Service animals are explicitly protected under both state and federal law, and, as such, are welcome in any of our cabins.
