Two king suites, two floors apart
The master is at the top of the house. The second king is at the bottom. Two couples get real separation — not two doors on the same hallway.

What a stay here is like
The whole point is that nobody has to leave
Coffee on the deck before anyone else is up. Somebody starts breakfast in the kitchen while two people are still asleep two floors away and nobody hears a thing. By afternoon the kids are playing air hockey downstairs, the teenagers have taken over the loft, and whoever wanted quiet has found it on the upper front deck with a book.
Dinner is on the long dining table on the deck with the doors open. Then the hot tub, and the mountains going dark. That is a good day here, and it does not require anybody to get back in the car.
Why this one
Built for a group that actually wants to be together
Most cabins that claim to sleep ten get there with bunk beds. This one does not.
Two hangouts, two floors apart
Air hockey, shuffleboard, foosball and darts on the lower level. A multicade with 65+ games, board games and a wall of books up in the loft. Nobody has to agree on one thing to do.
Every bath has two doors
All three bathrooms open into a bedroom and into the common area. Whoever is on the sleeper sofa never walks through someone else's room in a towel.

Outside
Two levels of deck, and a hot tub under cover
The decks wrap the front, sides and back of the house on two levels, so there is always one in the sun and one in the shade. The hot tub sits on the covered lower deck, which means it works in the rain and throughout the winter.
The upper deck, off the main floor, has the gas grill, a long dining table that seats eight comfortably, rocking chairs and plenty more seating at the back, and Adirondack chairs at the front facing the mountains. The lower deck, at ground level, has two outdoor living areas: the back deck with the hot tub, chaise lounges and rocking chairs, and the front with an outdoor sectional around a gas fire table. Everything but the upper front is under cover.
You also stand a good chance of watching a black bear cross the yard from up there. Shagbark has plenty of them, and for most families it turns out to be the story they take home. It stays that way as long as the coolers and the food come indoors when you are done — including everything in your vehicle — and there is a bear-proof bin outside for the rest. See a few of them, on our own camera.
And a short drive down the mountain there is the community park — pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, and a disc golf course along the creek.
Filmed from the front deck
The neighbors drop by
This is the driveway below the front deck on a September afternoon, from the cabin's own camera. Nothing staged, nothing fed. A few times a month one of the Shagbark bears crosses the drive, and now and then one comes up the steps for a look.
Where it is
Close enough to everything, far enough from the traffic
Acorn Ridge sits in Shagbark, a gated community off Highway 321 in the Waldens Creek area west of Pigeon Forge. The Island is twenty-two minutes from the door and Dollywood twenty-seven. Turn the other way and the quiet Wears Valley entrance to the national park is about half an hour.
That is the trade most people want: you are not sitting in Parkway traffic to get home, and you are not an hour from dinner either. The gate is staffed around the clock — Shagbark reckons it is the only community out here that can say so.
A note from the owners
We own this cabin. You are booking it from us.
Acorn Ridge is not run by a management company, and it is not listed on Airbnb or Vrbo. When you book here you are dealing with the two people who own the place, who picked out the beds, and who answer the phone when something is not right.
That is also why the price you see is the price you get.
We are Joe and Kathryn. We live in La Grange, Illinois, and we fell for East Tennessee on a Sevierville trip in 2019 without knowing much about it beforehand. When we decided to buy, we took it seriously: three trips, fifty-four properties. Then we walked into this one, saw the ridge and the oaks, and stopped looking.
Those oaks turned out to matter more than we knew when we named the place. They drop acorns across the drive every autumn, and acorns are exactly what brings the deer and the black bears up the hill before winter. The thing we named the cabin after is the reason you stand a good chance of watching one cross the yard.
Since we bought it we have doubled the hot water capacity, put in new kitchen cabinets and appliances, refreshed all three bathrooms, added the games and the multicade, and replaced the beds and the furniture inside and out — all of it aimed at groups who came here to be together. Joe is happiest on the decks. Kathryn is happiest on the decks too, in the hot tub, or downstairs in the game room. We hope you leave liking it as much as we do.
Room for everyone.
