Smokies
Cabins, mountain homes, and view properties from Gatlinburg to Townsend.
The Smokies aren't a single market — they're a half-dozen overlapping ones. Investment cabins in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg play by different rules than primary homes in Townsend or Wears Valley. Our agents close in this market every week and know which short-term rental zones are still open.
Gatlinburg
City-limit cabins have utilities and short-term rental permits. Long-term hold value strongest near Roaring Fork.
Pigeon Forge
The volume STR market. Newer construction in Black Bear Ridge, Smoky Cove. Higher cap rates, more competition.
Wears Valley & Townsend
Quieter, more land per dollar. Becoming the alternative for buyers priced out of Gatlinburg.
Cosby & East Cocke
Underpriced corner of the Smokies. Buyers willing to drive 20 minutes for a view save real money.
