Step onto the deck as the Smoky Mountains catch the last gold of sunset, the hot tub already bubbling and string lights flickering on. Down in the game room, an air hockey match is heating up while someone claims the arcade high score. Your dog curls up at your feet — this ridge-top retreat welcomes the whole crew, furry members included. Dollywood is fifteen minutes away, but tonight, nobody’s in a hurry to leave this porch.
Ridgefield Paradise sits high on a ridge in the Sky Harbor community, where soaring ceilings and wall-to-wall windows pull the treetops and sky right into the living room. The outside world fades, the pace slows, and the only agenda is togetherness.
The open-concept living area is the heart of the cabin — a plush queen sleeper sofa, a flat-screen smart TV, and an electric fireplace that adds a warm glow on cool nights. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the ridge views from nearly every seat.
The kitchen and dining space connect for family meals or quiet coffee as the mountains wake up outside the window. You’ll find stainless steel appliances, a full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, and toaster, plus all the pots, pans, dishes, and utensils you need — a breakfast bar with stylish seating works for casual mornings and full dinners alike.
Two bedrooms give everyone a private landing spot: the main-level bedroom offers a queen bed, flat-screen TV, and an ensuite full bath with a shower/tub combo, while the lower-level bedroom has its own queen bed, TV, and ensuite bath with a stand-up shower.
When laughter calls, head downstairs to the game room, where twin-over-twin bunk beds share space with an air hockey table and a multicade arcade machine — instantly the favorite corner of the house for kids, teens, and competitive adults. It sleeps two more, stretching the cabin to a comfortable 8 guests total.
Outside, the deck doubles as dining room and front-row seat to the Smokies. Gather around the outdoor table for dinner, rock as the ridgeline fades to dusk, or fire up the gas grill for a cookout. Then there’s the hot tub — bubbling, tree-framed, and open to sky. Whether it’s a starlit soak after Dollywood or a quiet morning dip, this is where the trip starts to feel like a vacation.

The fully equipped kitchen is designed to make mealtime a breeze, with stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space, and all the cookware and utensils you’ll need, it is ready for everything from a quick breakfast to a home-cooked dinner.

When laughter calls, the game room downstairs becomes your gathering place. Challenge each other to exciting rounds of air hockey, rediscover arcade favorites on the multicade, or let the kids claim it as their own private hangout. With bunk beds, a sitting area, and plenty of space for games, this room is designed to keep the fun going long after the day’s adventures.
As the day winds down, the deck at Ridgefield Paradise becomes the perfect place to relax and take in the ridge-line views. Comfortable seating and a dining table invite you to gather for meals in the fresh mountain air, while classic rocking chairs are ideal for slow mornings or quiet evenings. String lights add a warm glow that makes the space feel cozy and inviting. The bubbling hot tub is the highlight of the deck, offering the chance to unwind while surrounded by the stillness of the trees. From golden sunsets to starlit nights, every soak feels like a special moment. Whether you are sharing dinner outdoors, rocking gently as the mountains fade into dusk, or slipping into the hot tub to let your cares melt away, the deck is where comfort meets the beauty of the Smokies.
The location brings the best of the Smokies within easy reach while still giving you the peace of a ridge-top retreat. Dollywood and The Island in Pigeon Forge are only 15 minutes away, filled with rides, shows, and family fun. Downtown Gatlinburg is just 20 minutes with Anakeesta, Ripley’s Aquarium, shops, and local dining, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers hiking trails, scenic drives, and waterfalls just as close. Ober Mountain is about 25 minutes for skiing, tubing, and tram rides, and Cades Cove is less than an hour for one of the most famous scenic loops in the park. From museums and theaters to distilleries and waterparks, there is something nearby for every age and every interest, making it easy to fill your days with adventure before returning to the quiet comfort of the ridge each evening. We look forward to welcoming you to Ridgefield Paradise and are excited for you to experience everything this special place has to offer!
You’ll have full run of the cabin for your entire stay — every bedroom, bathroom, the kitchen, living areas, laundry room, and both the deck and hot tub are yours. Self check-in is easy: a keypad on the front door gives you a private access code good for your visit, so there’s no key pickup and no waiting on a host.

• Minimum age requirement for booking is 21 years old.
