Two Luxury Cabins, Multiple Revenue Streams
Set on 1.74 private acres, this retreat includes two thoughtfully designed cabins that (combined) sleep up to 20 guests. The larger home, newly built in 2024, spans 3,100 square feet with three bedrooms, a loft, and three-and-a-half bathrooms.
The companion cabin, originally constructed in 1977 and fully renovated in 2024, offers 1,824 square feet with two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. Nearly 2,000 square feet of combined deck space ensures guests enjoy panoramic views of the Smokies.
Inside, both cabins showcase high-end finishes, including fully stocked gourmet kitchens, spa-like bathrooms with rainfall showers, and cozy gathering spaces anchored by fireplaces. Each detail was designed to maximize guest comfort and create a five-star experience.
An Event Platform That Sets It Apart
In addition to the cabins, a 1,100-square-foot event platform adds a unique income stream. Perfect for intimate weddings, corporate retreats, or wellness gatherings, this unique feature has already contributed significantly to the property’s remarkable booking success.
For investors familiar with the 1% rule (where monthly rental income should equal at least 1% of the purchase price), this property significantly overperforms. With upwards of $350,000 already booked in revenue for 2025 and over $100,000 already secured for 2026, it has more than proven its ability to generate substantial income with minimal effort.
Both properties come fully furnished and equipped with decor and event supplies, ensuring immediate income generation from day one. For investors seeking a turnkey opportunity in the short-term rental market, this represents an exceptional find that combines proven performance with potential for continued growth.
Resort-Style Living & More
Beyond its income-generating potential, this retreat offers resort-like amenities. Guests enjoy hot tubs at both cabins, outdoor fireplaces, bar and picnic areas, an outdoor shower, swings, and even a telescope for stargazing. These thoughtfully-curated features help command premium nightly rates and encourage repeat bookings.
The location balances seclusion with accessibility: just 10 minutes to Downtown Gatlinburg, 12 minutes to Pigeon Forge, and 20 minutes to Dollywood. Whether guests are seeking relaxation, adventure, or both, the property’s setting makes it an ideal home base.
Whether you’re seeking a high-performing addition to your investment portfolio, a luxurious second home with income potential, or an intimate event destination, this Smoky Mountain retreat delivers on every front.
