Welcome to "Moonlight Ridge", a unique real log cabin with indoor and outdoor wood fireplaces! Enjoy the mountain views from the hot tub or soak in the jacuzzi tub. This beautiful mountain retreat sleeps up to 6 (King bed on the main floor, Queen bed in the loft, and Queen sleeper sofa)! Soaring ceilings and plenty of natural light will make you feel right at home while you relax by a crackling fire inside or outside. Enjoy quick access to downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Great Smoky Mountain National Park!

As soon as you walk into the front door you are greeted by the natural warmth of the all wood interior and the abundance of natural light spilling through the windows. Relax on the couch or take in the view of the mountains from the private deck. Cook up a delicious feast in the updated kitchen or on the charcoal grill. Take a dip in the hot tub on the deck or soak in the jacuzzi tub and warm up by one or both of the real wood burning fireplaces; a rarity these days!

This cabin is private enough to enjoy peace and quiet, see the stars, and the moon, but close enough to get to your favorite attractions quickly. For Pickleball lovers there are two community use courts with equipment rental available at the security office. During the hot summer months enjoy the three included community pools, including the newest salt water heated pool right around the corner, to cool off after a day of fun! (seasonal availability Memorial Day to Labor Day)

Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, The Arts and Crafts District, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are all within 15 to 30 minute scenic drives. There are also plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop at along the way!

Charcoal and firewood are not provided but there are plenty of local vendors nearby.

Quaint mountain cabin close to Gatlinburg attractions. Cabin was clean, host communication excellent. Fireplace was a nice addition. You will need your own lawn chairs and know the outside fireplace is a small side porch , perfect for two but tight for additional group. Cabin sits on a very small wooded lot and views blocked by trees. You can walk up to the pool for amazing mountain views. Never was able to find the pickleball courts. Cabin while very clean could use some upgrades to the living room area and upstairs bathroom. Overall a nice stay.

We stayed at Moonlight Ridge for our hiking trip in the Smokies. The host is very accommodating and responsive. The location to the park and restaurants was great. We brought our dogs and they loved hanging out on the back deck with us. The surroundings are peaceful and we enjoyed watching a momma bear and her 3 cubs frolic on the mountain side. We also saw a groundhog just off the deck. A comfortable cabin retreat! (stayed 4/2026)

We LOVED our time at Moonlight Ridge and can’t wait to come back. There’s so much to do (hiking, walking, near by park) while also staying away from the really busy tourist spots! Communication with owner was the best we’ve seen since using Vrbo. The highlight of our stay was a beautiful black bear that visited our last day walking right by the deck (while we were safely inside, ha)!

This by far was the worse cabin we have ever stayed in. The heat pump couldnt keep up, the heat strips never kicked in. The cabin was cold at 64 degrees. The dryer door was broke, my husband had to use a broom handle to keep it closed long enough to dry clothes. We finally bought another screw so we could fix it temporarily. Although it took all day to dry a small load of clothes. I realize we are in the mountains and bugs can be a problem. We live in a very rural area. With that being said the cabin has a stink bug invasion. I swept up so many on day one and two. The keurig was broken. Staying at Moonlight Ridge felt like work not a relaxing vacation away.

Tasteful rustic woodsy motif but with all the modern comforts and conveniences. We didn't realize how much we'd appreciate the hot tub until we used it. I'm 6'6" and there was plenty of room for me.
