About Sherwood Forest Resort

Sherwood Forest Resort stands out as a premier family destination in Pigeon Forge, earning repeat visits from guests who appreciate its unique blend of mountain seclusion and convenient access. This gated mountain cabin community occupies a forested ridge just two miles from the Parkway, delivering an authentic secluded mountain experience without the typical 30-minute traffic delays that plague more remote locations.

The luxury log cabins cater to diverse group sizes, from intimate honeymoon retreats to expansive group houses featuring theater rooms and private hot tubs. Most accommodations include full kitchens, fireplaces, and decks showcasing spectacular views of Mt. LeConte.

The seasonal community pool serves as a natural gathering spot where children frequently connect with other young guests, creating lasting vacation memories for families. Unlike many mountain resorts with challenging terrain, the paved roads throughout the property ensure easy navigation for all visitors.

Travelers should note that cabin rates increase significantly during peak periods, particularly major holiday weekends in October. Early booking or weekday stays typically offer more favorable pricing options.

The resort's strategic location places Dollywood just 10 minutes away by car, allowing families to easily return for afternoon rest breaks or evening hot tub sessions. This positioning makes Sherwood Forest Resort an ideal base camp for exploring all of Pigeon Forge's attractions while maintaining a peaceful mountain retreat atmosphere.
