This is a large group asset that produced $126,497 in 2024 and $166,350 in 2025, a 31 percent jump year over year. Through the first nine months of 2026 it has already logged $89,383 with $54,924 in forward bookings still on the calendar. The performance report is third party verified and available for review. At 4,000 square feet, the lodge sleeps up to 30 and carries 15 beds throughout, including two kings and ten queens. Five and a half bathrooms. The kitchen seats 19 between two dining tables and a breakfast bar, with stainless appliances and full cookware for a crowd. Seven TVs throughout, a game room with pool table, foosball, and multi-cade arcade, and a home theater with a massive screen and cinema style seating. Groups with kids fill the pool. Adults claim the theater. Both happen at the same time without anyone having to negotiate. The private indoor heated pool sits on the main level as part of the living flow, not tucked away in a basement. Hot tub on the rear deck, outdoor fire pit with exterior lighting around the decks and fire pit area, picnic table, and charcoal grills. The owner has taken care of this asset. Back roof replaced. Hot tub replaced. New flooring in the pool area. Exterior lighting added throughout the deck and fire pit areas. The pool room has a new industrial sized dehumidifier and exhaust fan, which is the system that protects a structure like this one long term. An HVAC maintenance contract is in place and stays current. Maranatha Resort sits on the peaceful side of the Smokies, under two miles from the Cosby entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Cosby section of the park is a mile or so south of the neighborhood and holds some of the quietest hiking in the entire park, which is the reason guests who have done Gatlinburg once come back here instead. Whitewater rafting on the Pigeon River is minutes away. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are reached via I-40 without driving through town.
