🚨 A 30-Guest Gatlinburg Lodge + An Extra Lot
Crantzdorf Lodge isn't your standard Smoky Mountain cabin.
Offered at $2,425,000, this handcrafted true-log lodge spans 6,462 square feet, sleeps up to 30 guests, and comes with the adjoining lot at 319 Overview Drive, bringing the property to approximately 2.04 acres.
And for investors, the headline number is:
$210,000+ in Projected Annual Gross Rental Revenue
The combination of eight bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms, massive group capacity, mountain and golf-course views, and additional land creates an interesting luxury STR opportunity in Gatlinburg.

🪵 This Is a True Log Cabin
The construction story here is pretty remarkable.
The lodge's massive Canadian timbers were individually fitted, numbered, and test-assembled in Canada.
Then the entire structure was disassembled, transported to Gatlinburg, and rebuilt in Cobbly Nob.
The result is an authentic log lodge with a level of craftsmanship that's hard to replicate—and a property that looks and feels exactly like what a large group traveling to the Smokies expects.
Even the upscale furnishings include real-log beds that reinforce the mountain-lodge experience.
👨👩👧👦 Built for Groups of Up to 30
Large-group capacity is the property's biggest STR advantage.
With 8 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms, and sleeping accommodations for up to 30 guests, Crantzdorf Lodge is positioned for:
👨👩👧👦 Multi-family vacations
🎉 Reunions
🏢 Group retreats
🎂 Celebrations
🏔️ Large Smoky Mountain getaways
The dining area alone accommodates up to 19 guests, while multiple levels provide separate living, sleeping, and entertainment spaces.
For a property designed to host 20–30 people, that separation matters.
🌄 Mountain + Golf Course Views
The expansive deck overlooks both the surrounding mountains and golf course, giving guests a pretty spectacular backdrop.
There's also an outdoor stacked-stone fireplace, creating another gathering space where large groups can actually spend time together.
Inside, a dramatic stacked-stone fireplace anchors the main living area.
The guest experience is very clearly built around one theme:
Big groups gathering in a big mountain lodge.
🔨 Major Updates Already Completed
The property has also received several meaningful recent improvements:
🏠 New roof — 2024
❄️ Two replaced HVAC units
🛁 Jacuzzi tub replaced — 2024
The kitchen is designed for group stays as well, including two dishwashers, while hardwood and slate tile flooring reinforce the lodge aesthetic.
📈 The Investment Story
The key numbers:
💰 $2.425M Asking Price
💵 $210K+ Projected Annual Gross Revenue
📊 ~8.7% Projected Gross Revenue / Price
👥 Sleeps Up to 30
🛏️ 8 Bedrooms / 8.5 Bathrooms
🌲 ~2.04 Acres
It's important to distinguish the $210K+ figure as projected revenue rather than historical revenue.
But the property has several physical characteristics that are difficult to add later: enormous guest capacity, 8.5 bathrooms, views, acreage, authentic log construction, and an additional lot.
💸 Financing & Tax Angle
At $2.425M, financing structure can have a major impact on the investment.
Potential options may include DSCR, conventional investment, portfolio, and other STR-focused financing depending on the buyer and property.

🎯 Why This One Stands Out
👥 Sleeps 30
Eight bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms give this property serious large-group capacity.
🌲 Two Lots
The adjoining parcel brings the property to approximately 2.04 acres, adding privacy and potential future possibilities.
🪵 Authentic Construction
This is a true handcrafted log lodge built from massive Canadian timbers.
🌄 The Setting
Mountain and golf-course views plus expansive decks and an outdoor fireplace create a strong Smoky Mountain experience.
💰 Revenue Potential
The property is projected to generate more than $210K annually in gross rental revenue.
⚡ Bottom Line
$2.425M. 8 Bedrooms. Sleeps 30. $210K+ Projected Gross Revenue.
Crantzdorf Lodge combines 6,462 square feet, 8.5 bathrooms, authentic handcrafted log construction, mountain and golf-course views, and approximately 2.04 acres across two lots.
The adjoining parcel provides an interesting additional angle for privacy and potential future use, while the existing lodge is already designed around the large-group stays that can command significant booking values in Gatlinburg.
For an investor looking for a high-capacity luxury Smoky Mountain STR with a genuinely differentiated property, this is one to take a closer look at.
