Tucked into a prime Smoky Mountain setting, this well-established 1-bedroom cabin offers a compelling opportunity for short-term rental investors seeking strong performance in a manageable footprint. Self-managed by the owner, the property generated approximately $62,000 in gross revenue in both 2023 and 2024 and is on pace with $47,000 in 2025, demonstrating consistent demand and reliable cash flow. The layout is efficient and guest-friendly, making it especially attractive for couples and small groups who prioritize privacy, comfort, and unique amenities. Since 2020, the cabin has seen a series of meaningful upgrades that enhance both guest experience and long-term durability. The kitchen and bathroom floors were updated with new tile, the shower was fully redone, and a new roof was installed in 2020. Major mechanical improvements include a newer HVAC system, a ducted commercial-grade dehumidifier for improved climate control, and the addition of a water softener. A former sunroom has been thoughtfully converted into a dedicated cinema room, adding a standout feature that helps drive bookings, while an outdoor fire pit area with gravel seating creates an inviting space for guests to relax and enjoy the mountain atmosphere. This property has proven itself as a high-performing short-term rental while still offering the charm and functionality of a personal vacation retreat. Its combination of strong income history, targeted upgrades, and distinctive amenities makes it an excellent option for investors looking to add a reliable, lower-maintenance cabin to their portfolio or for buyers seeking a small mountain getaway that continues to pay for itself year after year.
Automated home estimates are a starting point, not a final answer. National websites do not know if your roof is five years old or twenty-five. They do not understand the value of a good piece of land in East Tennessee. At Real Estate Concepts, we combine instant data with actual local expertise to give you a valuation you can trust.
Step 1: Tell us your address. Fill in the form — name, phone, email, and your property address.
Step 2: A local expert personally checks it. The number you see right away is your first-look value from a computer. Then one of our local East Tennessee experts personally checks it against real sold homes near you — the comps an algorithm can't weigh, like condition, updates, and your street. That personal check is the CMA.
Step 3: We talk through the real number. We'll walk you through what your home would actually sell for and what we'd do to get it — no obligation, and if the timing's wrong, we'll say so.
Q: How is this different from a standard online estimate?
A: Speed and accuracy. You get immediate data from our system, backed up by a manual review from a local expert who knows the area roads and market trends.
Q: Is there a fee for this service?
A: No. We provide free valuations as a service to our East Tennessee community. There is no obligation to list with us.
Q: What areas do you cover?
A: Our agents live and work across East Tennessee, covering Morgan, Roane, Anderson, Scott, Claiborne, and Grainger counties and beyond.
Q: Do you have to visit my property in person?
A: Not for the initial valuation. We can run the numbers based on public records and recent local sales. In-person visits are available if you want a highly precise listing price.
