Neighborhood
Rustic Ridge Retreat is ideally located in the sought-after Preserve Resort community, perched high above scenic Wears Valley and offering some of the most breathtaking views in the Smokies. Tucked away on a private ¾-acre lot, the cabin provides a peaceful, secluded feel while still offering access to resort-style amenities just a short walk away—including a seasonal mountaintop pool, scenic pavilion, wedding chapel, steam room, sauna, and a full workout facility. The neighborhood is quiet, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by natural beauty, making it perfect for morning walks or sunset strolls. And when you're ready to explore, you’re only a short drive from the best of the Smokies, less than 14 miles to Pigeon Forge, 20 miles to Gatlinburg, and a straight shot into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Whether you're chasing adventure or looking to unplug, this location offers the perfect balance of serenity and convenience. Our close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park means there is lots of wildlife in our area - black bears, deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, coyotes, fox, and more! Black bears visit the cabin often in Spring, Summer, and Fall. You may get lucky and catch a glimpse of one of these residents while enjoying the view from the deck. We also contract regular monthly pest services which treat for all pests from multiple types of bugs, mice, etc. Despite our regular treatments, given the proximity of the cabin to the park, it is possible these pests can temporarily enter the cabin. We immediately respond and treat if anything comes up and have found it is rare to come across anything like this. When you've had enough relaxation, look forward to endless entertainment in the surrounding area; you'll be in the perfect spot to explore through winding hiking trails and world-class ski slopes in the Great Smoky Mountains. Other local attractions can be found in downtown Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, including delectable restaurants, intriguing shops, the always-entertaining alpine slides, and even a moonshine distillery! During your time here, make sure to visit the Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park & Ski Area, which offers terrific skiing in the colder months, a ski mountain coaster, an aerial tramway, and many other thrilling attractions! The cabin is located on a mountain road. We strongly recommend trip insurance, especially during the Winter, since there are no refunds for snow and ice. In difficult winter or storm-related weather situations, there can be delays in cleaning and check-in pending road conditions which can be outside of our control.

Guest Access
Our guests will have the full cabin to themselves! We will send an electronic door code approximately 5 days before check-in.
