ποΈ Pigeon Forge Cabin Producing $47K+ Per Year With a Rare Dual-Rental Floor Plan
π° Freestanding Log Cabin β’ Two Separate Living Spaces β’ Hot Tub β’ Resort Amenities β’ Minutes From the Parkway

π¨ One of the Most Unique Cabins in Big Bear Resort
Many cabins in resort communities look nearly identical.
This one doesn't.
What makes this property stand out immediately is that it's:
π A True Freestanding Log Cabin
Unlike many attached or duplex-style units within the community, this cabin offers:
β More privacy
β Better guest experience
β Greater flexibility
β Strong repeat-guest appeal
And that has translated into real-world performance.
π° Proven Revenue History
For investors, the story starts with actual numbers.
Gross Rental Revenue
π 2024: $45,150
π 2025: $47,370
In a competitive Smoky Mountain market, the cabin has continued attracting guests and growing revenue year over year.
For buyers looking for a property with a demonstrated track record rather than projections, that's an important distinction.
π‘ The Asset
π 336 Big Bear Way
Pigeon Forge, TN
π° Offered at: $499,900
2 Bedrooms
2 Bathrooms
1,152 Sq Ft
Freestanding Log Cabin
Hot Tub
Two Living Areas
Two Private Entrances
Resort Amenities
Turnkey STR Opportunity
At under $500K, opportunities with this combination of location, flexibility, and proven income are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
π A Floor Plan Designed for Maximum Flexibility
This is arguably the biggest differentiator.
The cabin features:
Two Separate Living Areas
And:
Two Private Entrances
Which allows owners to potentially operate the property as:
β A traditional 2-bedroom cabin
or
β Two separate 1-bedroom suites
That flexibility creates multiple booking strategies and broadens the pool of potential guests.
Very few cabins at this price point offer that capability.
π² Private Setting in a Prime Location
Despite being located within Big Bear Resort, the cabin sits:
Tucked Away in a Quiet Cul-De-Sac
Providing guests with:
β Privacy
β Peaceful wooded views
β A true mountain feel
While still being incredibly close to the area's biggest attractions.
π Less Than Half a Mile From the Action
Guests enjoy quick access to:
π‘ The Parkway
ποΈ Wears Valley Road
π’ Dollywood
π½οΈ Restaurants
ποΈ Shopping
πΆ Entertainment
The location strikes an ideal balance between convenience and seclusion.
β¨ Classic Smoky Mountain Charm
Inside, the cabin offers exactly the experience travelers expect when booking a mountain getaway.
Features include:
β Soaring vaulted ceilings
β Expansive windows
β Natural light throughout
β Two stone fireplaces
β Lower-level kitchenette
β Open gathering spaces
The result feels warm, inviting, and authentically Smoky Mountain.
π Outdoor Living That Guests Love
Guest-favorite amenities include:
β Screened-in deck
β Private hot tub
β Wooded views
β Multiple outdoor gathering areas
These features continue to drive occupancy and positive reviews across the Smokies.
π Big Bear Resort Amenities
Owners and guests also enjoy access to:
β Indoor swimming pool
β Outdoor swimming pool
β Whirlpool spas
β Fitness center
β Game room
Amenities like these help strengthen the overall guest experience while increasing the property's appeal.
π‘ HOA Covers More Than Most Buyers Expect
One of the hidden benefits here is the amount covered by the HOA.
Included:
β Water
β Sewer
β Trash
β Cable TV
β High-speed internet
β Grounds maintenance
β Road maintenance
β Resort amenities
That simplifies ownership and reduces operational headaches.
πΈ Financing Angle
Properties with:
β Existing rental history
β Strong guest demand
β Resort amenities
β Flexible floor plans
β Prime Pigeon Forge locations
...are often attractive candidates for:
π DSCR financing
π Vacation rental financing
π Conventional investment property loans
π Portfolio lending solutions
For investors seeking an affordable entry point into the Smoky Mountain STR market, properties under $500K with proven revenue can often attract strong lender interest.
