It was a pleasure to host you! We hope to host you again in the future
Touch of Heaven was absolutely perfect for our recent trip to Pigeon Forge. We stayed in the home with a total of three families visiting for a baseball tournament. The home was large enough for each family to have their own floor, and plenty of hangout space for the kids. At no point did we ever feel crowded, which was a big concern we had prior to arriving. The views and location are top notch. Would absolutely stay here again if we are in town.
Loved the views and everything about the cabin. Very clean and lots of amenities included that you don't get at other places. I would definitely recommend this place for your getaway!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We can’t wait to host you again
The property was spacious and gorgeous. The detail in the furniture was beautiful and extremely comfortable. We didnt want to leave the cabin at all. The host was very kind and communication was quick and easy. I will say the pool room could be cleaner. There were spider webs all over the windows and the alarm was a bit annoying but it was overall amazing. We will definitely book this place again in the future.

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We’re thrilled that you loved the cabin, the furnishings, and the space, and we truly appreciate your kind words about your experience with us.
We also appreciate the feedback regarding the pool house. Being in the mountains and surrounded by woods, spiders are simply part of the environment and webs can appear very quickly around the pool house windows, even between cleanings. We do our best to stay on top of them and will certainly have our team give this area some extra attention.
We completely understand that the pool alarm can be a bit annoying. Unfortunately, it cannot be disabled, as it is a required safety feature under Tennessee pool-safety regulations.
Thank you again for staying with us. We’re especially happy to hear that you plan to return, and we would love to welcome you back!
Host awesome; very responsive. We enjoyed all the amenities and being with close friends. Men saw the bear, but us ladies missed it. Views & all the levels & carvings throughout the home were beautiful
This was a beautiful cabin with carvings all around the home. It was great for a large family. Kids enjoyed the pool. There was peace and quiet around us! Loved the stay!

It was beautiful, and accommodating for 9 people, we had a blast. My only things that were a little crazy , you could not lock the doors on the master bed room and you can’t see the fireplace it was so beautiful to see. We loved our stay.
Everything about my stay was perfect. I went to Tennessee for my 40th birthday celebration and found this beautiful cabin. My guest and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and Teresa was such a pleasant host!!! She responded timely and assisted me with anything I needed before and during my stay. Everything we needed was just about 20 minutes from where we were which was super convenient I will definitely stay here again when I visit Tennessee.

OMG! I did not want to leave. This place is dreamy. It's well kept and clean. Only small issue were the stink bugs; they were everywhere in the master suite but that's it. Everything else was amazing. The host were awesome and extremely responsive. They were even able to accommodate a late check out. I will definitely stay again. Don't miss out!

Thank you for your feedback. So glad you had fun. The cleaners discovered upon your checkout the master window was open. This is peak season for those bugs and they will definitely take advantage of an open window.
This house had everything you need for a great family trip to the Smokey mountains! It’s in a safe gated community which we appreciated! We highly recommend this house and plan to come again with our family!

Thank you Paige! We would love to host you again in the future!!
We had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect and was just as advertised. Communication with the owner was great. We will, hopefully, be staying here again in the near future. Did not want to leave.
We had an amazing time and LOVED the cabin! The bear sightings were a huge perk!
We were so thankful for the well stocked kitchen items (pots pans, seasonings, coffee/filters/creamer/K cups), fluffy towels for bathroom and pool, laundry baskets for each room, detailed decor, fun amenities (arcade, pool table, theater and pool) for the kids and gorgeous view :)
The property is in a private setting but not a far drive to pigeon forge attractions. The kids loved the pool and hot tub, although the pool was a bit smaller than we expected. We will book again on our next trip to Pigeon Forge.

AMAZING
My Family and I loved staying here! Teresa made everything easy and gave us so much helpful in formation! The photos of the house do not do it justice! Hanging out on the deck was the best part! The details of the house are stunning! We cannot wait to go back!
Touch of Heaven is a beautiful, spacious cabin with a great view and an easy drive to Pigeon Forge.
My family stayed 3 nights and had a great time.
There were 14 of us and we all had plenty of space.
When we first got to the cabin, we couldn't believe how big it was. The little kids had a great time in the pool.

About the host
Hosted by Brad and Teresa Ridenhour
We are The Ridenhour family-we have purchased four vacation rental properties over the past 9 years. We chose each house as a place where our family can make memories for generations to come! Each of our homes is unique in character and offers amazing views. We love homes with that " They just don't make them like this anymore" vibe. We live in Central Texas and have two daughters and three dogs! We love spending time as a family and appreciate all this beautiful country offers. Our family motto is "Take the road less traveled for that is where the treasure is found".
We truly pride ourselves on creating an environment where families can create memories they will never forget. From the vast, open, beautiful Hill Country in Texas to our home away from home in The Smoky Mountains, we cherish the resources that have been entrusted to us. Guest experience is extremely important and we strive for excellence every time we host a guest. We hold dear the experiences, engagements, and anniversaries that many people have shared with us over the past 9 years.
Why they chose this property
This property truly is the Jewel of The Smoky Mountains. The home is filled with hand-carved wood throughout that reflects the care and love someone had when they built this property. It's one of the many reasons we fell in love with this home. No detail was rushed! Nestled in the Smoky Mountains the views will keep you in awe throughout your trip! You will think you just saw the most beautiful sunset you have ever seen, only to rival it the next day. On a private 2-acre lot you will feel Secluded yet you are a short scenic drive to the main attractions and the entrance to The Smoky Mountain National Park. Each day is an adventure as you are visited by the many animals that inhabit this land. From the curious raccoon to the stoic bear you will on occasion see it's like being in an episode of a nature show. Last but not least many days while relaxing in "Papa's Chair" on the deck you will see the blankets of a smoky haze that gives the region an almost magical quality. The Cherokee considered the mountains to be a sacred place and referred to the area as “Shaconage” (Sha-Kon-O-Hey) which means land of the Blue Smoke
What makes this property unique
Looking to spend the day relaxing away from it all? This property actually does have it all! This Smoky Mountain Lodge has Over 1000 sq ft of decks with 360-degree views of the beauty around you. Enjoy the day splashing around in the indoor swimming pool, soaking in the large hot tub, or take a turn in the massage chair that is sure to relax even the weariest traveler. Challenge friends or family in a game of pool, step back in time and play a classic arcade, or watch a movie as a family in the large movie room furnished with LED-lighted reclining leather chairs with a USB charging feature. Still ready for more fun head up to the Shagbark community center for basketball, pickle ball, or much more.
