Hello, I’m Emily! My husband and I are lifelong East Tennessee locals, business owners, and parents who love the Smoky Mountains and everything this area has to offer.

Between raising our family, running our businesses, and helping others, we’ve always believed that creating memorable experiences matters.

We’re honored you’ve chosen Olive Ridge Retreat and hope your stay is filled with relaxation, adventure, and memories you’ll cherish for years to come.

As a local who has spent years living and working in the Smoky Mountains, I wanted to create a place where guests could experience the area the way I do. When I found this location, I immediately fell in love with how peaceful it felt while still being just minutes from the Parkway and all the attractions that bring people to the Smokies.

As both a mom and someone who loves hosting others, I know how important it is to have a place that feels close to the action without the stress of heavy traffic and crowded tourist areas. This neighborhood gives you the best of both worlds—a quiet retreat where you can relax, enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch, soak in the hot tub, and spend quality time together, while still being only a short drive from everything Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains have to offer.

Olive Ridge Retreat was created to be the kind of place my own family would want to stay—a cozy, comfortable mountain getaway where memories are made and time slows down, even if just for a few days. ❤️🏔️✨

Olive Ridge Retreat isn't just another cabin—it's our family's dream mountain getaway, created right here in the Smokies. We wanted to share a place that combines modern luxury with cozy mountain charm, so every guest feels both pampered and right at home.

What truly sets us apart is our unbeatable location. We love being able to enjoy the peace and privacy of a mountain retreat while still being just minutes from the Parkway, top attractions, restaurants, shopping, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park—and our guests do too.

Inside, you'll find the thoughtful details we would want in our own vacation home, including a fully stocked kitchen, luxury bedding, spa-inspired bathrooms, a dedicated coffee bar, arcade games, Smart TVs, and family-friendly amenities. Outside, unwind in the private hot tub, gather around the fire pit under the stars, or relax on the spacious covered porch surrounded by nature.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, couples getaway, honeymoon, girls trip, or special celebration, we hope Olive Ridge Retreat becomes the backdrop for your favorite Smoky Mountain memories.
