820 Crest View Drive, Gatlinburg, TN 37738

Just off Highway 321 and inside Gatlinburg's city limits, this 2020-built log cabin comes with something rare: an active short-term rental history and a location guests already love. Hop the trolley and skip the downtown parking search altogether, with Ripley's Aquarium, Anakeesta, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance all within a couple of miles.

Two bedrooms and two full baths fill 836 square feet across two stories, fully furnished and rental-ready. Hardwood floors, a freestanding electric fireplace, and a wrap-around deck give the interior and exterior equal pull for guests booking their stay.

City water and sewer keep maintenance simple, a heat pump and central cooling keep utility costs predictable, and there's no HOA dictating how you run it. The 0.21-acre lot still has room to grow. Space for a pergola and hot tub sits ready and waiting, along with plenty of ground for grilling and yard games to enjoy mountain days.

For an investor building a Smoky Mountain portfolio or anyone wanting a low-maintenance mountain getaway, this cabin already does the hard part: it's proven itself as a rental, and it's ready for its next owner to pick up where it left off.
