🏊 A Proven Smoky Mountains STR With One of the Amenities We Love to See

There are plenty of cabins for sale around the Smokies.

What caught our attention about 666 Stockton Drive in Sevierville, Tennessee is that this one already has two things investors frequently spend considerable time and money trying to create:

Proven six-figure revenue and a private indoor pool.

Known as Timeout Tavern, this 3-bedroom vacation rental generated:

$120,000 in Revenue in 2025

The asking price?

$775,000

That's approximately a 15.5% gross revenue-to-purchase-price ratio.

Better yet, the cabin comes fully furnished, and the seller says its existing future reservations can transfer to the buyerβ€”giving the next owner an opportunity to take over an established STR rather than start again at zero.

For us, $120K of historical revenue at a $775K acquisition price is already enough to warrant a look. The indoor pool and transferable bookings make the story considerably more interesting.

πŸ’° Let's Talk About the $120K

Timeout Tavern reportedly generated:

$120,000 in Revenue During 2025

At the $775,000 asking price, that works out to approximately:

15.5% Gross Revenue / Purchase Price

Or:

~6.5x 2025 Revenue

That's not a 15.5% cap rate. Buyers still need to underwrite management, utilities, insurance, taxes, maintenance, platform fees, pool operating costs, cleaning economics and other expenses.

But you're not underwriting an STR based solely on what a projection says the cabin could generate.

It has already demonstrated six-figure revenue.

🏊 The Indoor Pool Is a Big Deal

The feature we'd pay particular attention to here is the:

Private Indoor Pool

In a highly competitive cabin market, experiential amenities can be one of the biggest ways to differentiate a listing.

And an indoor pool isn't limited to warm-weather stays.

Rainy weekend? Pool.

Cold winter trip? Pool.

Family getaway? Pool.

That gives the property an amenity guests can use throughout the year and helps a three-bedroom cabin offer something beyond simply beds, views and mountain dΓ©cor.

More importantly for the buyer, it's already built.

You're not purchasing the property and then figuring out where to put a pool, navigating construction, spending the capital and taking the property offline while it's installed.

πŸ“… Future Revenue Doesn't Necessarily Start at Zero

There's another valuable piece of the deal:

Future Reservations Are Transferable to the New Owner

The listing indicates the property already has excellent future bookings, and the seller is willing to transfer those reservations.

That could make the ownership transition considerably smoother.

Rather than closing and immediately facing an empty calendar, the buyer may be able to step into an existing stream of reservations.

Buyers should confirm the exact booking amounts, dates, transfer mechanics and platform requirements during diligence.

πŸ”‘ This Is a Turnkey Acquisition

The cabin is being offered:

Fully Furnished

For an STR investor, that can mean avoiding a long list of immediate expenses and setup work.

No starting from scratch with beds, sofas, dining furniture, dΓ©cor and the rest of the guest setup.

Instead, you're acquiring a property that has already been furnished, operated, booked and proven capable of generating significant rental revenue.

πŸ“Š The Investment Story

Here's the quick version:

πŸ’° Asking Price: $775,000

πŸ’΅ 2025 Revenue: $120,000

πŸ“Š Gross Revenue / Price: ~15.5%

πŸ“ˆ Price / Revenue: ~6.5x

πŸ›οΈ 3 Bedrooms

🚿 3 Bathrooms

🏊 Private Indoor Pool

πŸ“… Existing Future Bookings

πŸ”„ Reservations Transferable

πŸ›‹οΈ Fully Furnished

πŸ”‘ Turnkey Existing STR

The investment thesis is straightforward: buy a proven Smoky Mountains STR with six-figure historical revenue, one of the market's most compelling year-round amenities, and future reservations already in place.

πŸ’Έ Financing & Tax Angle

For buyers interested in acquiring an established STR like this, it may be worth exploring lenders that specifically understand vacation-rental income.

Depending on the borrower and lender requirements, potential structures can include DSCR, conventional investment, portfolio, and other STR-focused financing.

🎯 Why This One Stands Out

πŸ’° $120K of Proven Revenue

The property isn't being marketed solely on projectionsβ€”it reportedly generated $120,000 during 2025.

🏊 Private Indoor Pool

A major year-round amenity is already built and operational.

πŸ“Š ~15.5% Gross Revenue / Price

At $775K, the property is priced at approximately 6.5x its reported 2025 revenue.

πŸ“… Future Bookings

Existing reservations are reportedly transferable to the buyer, potentially providing revenue immediately following acquisition.

πŸ”‘ Turnkey

The property comes fully furnished and ready to continue operating as a vacation rental.

⚑ Bottom Line

$775K. $120K in 2025 Revenue. Private Indoor Pool. Future Bookings Included.

That's the story here.

At its asking price, Timeout Tavern's $120,000 of reported 2025 revenue represents approximately 15.5% of the purchase price, putting the property at roughly 6.5x historical gross revenue.

Then add the feature we really like: a private indoor pool that gives guests a compelling amenity regardless of the weather or season.

And unlike an STR conversion where the buyer has to furnish the house, build a listing and wait for reservations, this one is being offered fully furnished with future bookings that the seller says can transfer to the new owner.

For someone looking for a proven Smoky Mountains STR rather than an STR project, Timeout Tavern is worth digging into.
