is an exclusive community of authentic log cabins, located within 3 miles of Gatlinburg,
yet privately nestled in the Smokey Mountains. Each cabin in Timberidge is a restoration
of an original log home built some 200 years ago. The log cabins came primarily
from the mountains of East Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina. All
historic cabins were tagged, marked, disassembled, and trucked to the private Timberidge
community where they were reconstructed with all the modern amenities, yet with
the charm and comfort of the past. Timberidge Homeowners Association new website
