About Eagles Ridge Resort
Eagles Ridge Resort is a cabin community in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, set about a mile from the Parkway. That distance matters: you are close enough to reach Dollywood, The Island and the dinner shows quickly, and far enough up the hill that the cabin deck is quiet at night.
The setup
The resort's own site says it has over 100 cabins, ranging from 1 to 9 bedrooms, so the same community covers a getaway for two and a family reunion. Listed features across the cabins include hot tubs and Jacuzzis, game rooms, theater rooms, fireplaces, Wi-Fi, rocking chairs on the deck and mountain views. Some cabins have private indoor pools, and many are pet friendly.
Shared facilities are modest and useful: a seasonal outdoor pool with a sunning deck, and a clubhouse the resort says is open year-round. Do not expect a hotel-style pool complex in January, since the pool is a warm-weather feature.
Who it suits
- Families and reunions. The 4 to 9 bedroom cabins make it possible to keep a large group under one roof.
- Couples. The 1 and 2 bedroom cabins with hot tubs and views are the usual choice.
- Pet owners. Pet-friendly cabins are listed, but not every cabin accepts pets, so use the pet filter.
- Groups and weddings. The site has pages for meetings, groups and weddings.
What to check when you book
- Which cabin, not just which resort. The community has more than 100 cabins and they differ in view, layout and amenities. Compare the specific cabin number.
- Winter access. This is a hillside community. In ice or snow, ask the office how steep your cabin's driveway is and how the roads are treated before you commit to a low rental car.
- Pets. Confirm the pet fee and size rules for the exact cabin.
- Pool season. The outdoor pool is seasonal, so check whether it will be open for your dates.
- Cancellation. The resort posts a rental agreement on its site. Read it before you pay a deposit.
Finding it
The resort's address is 2740 Florence Dr., Pigeon Forge, TN 37863. Reservations go through 877-978-3430. The cabin list, specials and discount-ticket pages are on the Eagles Ridge Resort website, and the facilities page shows what the community offers. The resort is managed by Eagle Property Management, per its site footer, so that is who you are dealing with on policies.
From the cabin, Pigeon Forge attractions are a short drive. Gatlinburg and the national park take longer, especially in the afternoon when the Parkway slows to a crawl. If you plan to spend most days in the park, leave early and expect to drive through town. Browse the cabins by size if you are traveling with a big group.
