Dollywood all day, a shuffleboard rematch all night, and room for everyone in between

What makes this one different
A game loft built for first times: air hockey, a shuffleboard table with a bowling pin set, and a two-player arcade
Three king bedrooms plus two queen sleeper sofas, so ten people never end up on top of each other
Close to the fun, quiet at night: about 20 minutes to Dollywood and 15 to the Parkway, on a peaceful wooded lot
A private back deck with a hot tub, string lights and a table for dinner outside
Dogs welcome, up to two, with bowls, a leash, towels, blankets and treats waiting
A week of firsts, and a cabin to come home to

Coffee in the trees.
The back deck is the spot in the morning. Two mugs, the woods all around, and nothing to hear but birds and the dogs settling in. It's the calm before the big day, and the grown-ups tend to claim it together before anyone else is up.

Then breakfast. The table seats eight and the kitchen counter takes four more, so nobody eats standing up.

Out for the big stuff.
Maybe it's the first Dollywood trip, 20 minutes away, and the first real coaster for somebody. Maybe a day on the Parkway, 15 minutes down the road. Maybe the Apple Barn for lunch, or a long drive out to Cades Cove, about an hour, for the bears and the open fields. However the day goes, the drive home is short, on curvy mountain roads that never get too steep.

Back for the loft.
Everyone comes home with energy left, and the loft is where it goes. Somebody learns shuffleboard for the first time and wants a rematch. The bowling pins come out. Air hockey turns into a tournament, and the arcade settles the tiebreakers. That's the part of the trip the kids will still be talking about at school.

Evenings on the deck.
The charcoal grill handles dinner, and the outdoor table means everyone eats together under the string lights. Later, the hot tub. The kids get it first, and the grown-ups take over once they're in bed. Keep an eye on the windows, too. Bears pass through these woods, and more than one family has spotted one from the main bedroom.

For whoever planned the whole thing.
The main-floor king suite has its own bath with a whirlpool tub and a separate shower. After a full day at Dollywood, that tub is the reward. Down the hall, the family room has an electric fireplace and a queen sleeper sofa for the last ones still awake.

The dogs come too.
They're part of the family, so they come on the trip. Up to two dogs, with bowls, a leash, towels, poop bags, treats, their own blankets to lie on, and cleanup spray for the muddy-paw days. There's a small grassy area in the front yard for quick walks on a leash.

Close to the fun, quiet at night

Bluff Ridge Acres is a peaceful pocket of Sevierville with big lots, no sidewalks and hardly any traffic. Star Ridge sits among the trees, close enough to everything that a forgotten sweatshirt is a quick trip, and quiet enough that the deck feels miles away from the Parkway.

Dollywood is about 20 minutes away, and the Pigeon Forge Parkway with its shows, restaurants and go-karts is about 15. The Apple Barn is about 13 minutes away. Walmart, Publix and the outlets are 15 to 20 minutes away for supplies. Gatlinburg is 35 to 40 minutes away, and Cades Cove is about an hour, worth the drive for a full day in the national park.

"One of the highlights was the game room. There was something for everyone, including air hockey, arcade games, and shuffleboard."
Bharath C., June 2026

"It's only about 15 to 20 minutes from downtown Pigeon Forge, so it was easy to get to restaurants, shops, and attractions, yet the cabin area itself was peaceful and quiet. It felt like the best of both worlds."
Rebekah, October 2025

"I've been to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge countless times and this has been my favorite cabin so far."
Sarah, May 2026

From Kelly

My favorite guests are the ones who go home with a new story. The family that learned shuffleboard for the first time and played it every night. The kids who saw their first bear from the bedroom window. That's what I want Star Ridge to give you: a fun, easy week together, close to everything and quiet when you get home. If you need anything, I'm a text away. Can't wait to have you guys at the cabin.

You’ll have full private access to the entire cabin, including all bedrooms, living areas, game room, and outdoor spaces.
(A small owner’s closet is locked and not accessible.)
