🏔️ Smoky Mountain STR With $150K Potential + Separate Pool House = Rare Setup

💰 $1.075M Price • ~$150K Revenue • 14% ROI • 2 Acres + Mountain Views

🚨 This Is Not Your Typical Smoky Mountain Cabin

Most cabins blend together.

This one doesn’t.

👉 Nearly 2 acres (rare)
👉 Panoramic mountain views (premium driver)
👉 Separate entertainment building (huge differentiator)

And the biggest signal:

👉 $70K+ already on the books for 2026

This is a property with:
✔ Proven demand
✔ Forward bookings
✔ Clear momentum

🏡 The Asset

  • 4 Bed / 5 Bath

  • 3,554 sqft

  • Two separate structures

  • Fully remodeled with luxury finishes

Main home:
✔ Open living + large decks
✔ Designed for groups + views

Second structure (this is the weapon):

👉 Indoor pool
👉 Theater room
👉 Game room

This setup is extremely rare — and directly drives revenue.

💰 The Numbers

List Price: $1,075,000

Historic Revenue: ~$100,000

Projected Revenue: ~$150,000

Gross ROI: 14%

Comps show the upside clearly:

👉 This property is not maxed out yet

🎯 Why This One Prints

1. 🏔️ Views + Land = Premium Positioning

  • One-of-a-kind mountain views

  • Nearly 2 acres of privacy

Most cabins are packed tight.

👉 This feels like a private retreat — and guests pay for that.

2. 🏊 Separate Amenity Building (Huge Advantage)

This is the differentiator.

Having:

  • Pool

  • Theater

  • Game room

👉 In a separate structure = better experience + more usable space

This leads to:
✔ Higher occupancy
✔ Larger group bookings
✔ Better reviews

3. 📈 Proven + Growing Performance

  • ~$100K historic revenue

  • $70K+ already booked for 2026

  • Top-tier guest ratings (4.95 stars)

👉 This is not speculative — it’s already working

4. 📍 Location That Converts

  • 5 minutes to Douglas Lake

  • 20 minutes to Pigeon Forge Parkway

👉 Close enough for demand
👉 Far enough for privacy

That’s the sweet spot.

🚀 The Upside (And It’s Obvious)

This is where the real play is:

👉 Projected ~$150K — but comps show $165K–$175K+ range

Easy pushes:

  • Optimize pricing strategy

  • Enhance branding around “private retreat + compound feel”

  • Add small experiential upgrades (firepit, outdoor games, lighting)

👉 This can move into top-tier Smoky Mountain performance
