The story
$183,672 IN 2025 RENTAL INCOME! NO HOA! On track for similar revenue in 2026, Warden’s Nest pairs proven rental performance with top-end luxury finishes, beautiful mountain views, and exceptional seclusion near downtown Gatlinburg. This 3,050 SF retreat offers 3 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and sleeping accommodations for 12, including a kids’ triple-decker bunk bed (all queens). Taken down to the studs and completely gut renovated by a licensed general contractor within the last two years, the home is essentially new construction due to the scope of its renovation. Every mechanical system was entirely replaced, including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, along with new roofing, siding, composite decking/railings, and furnishings. Meticulous craftsmanship and intentional STR design carry throughout. Rich tongue and groove ceilings, statement lighting, dramatic tile, and coordinated luxury furnishings set the tone. The kitchen showcases an oversized waterfall-edge island, full-height backsplash, stainless appliances, and floating shelves. A large picture window frames mountain views beside the living room fireplace. Every bedroom has a TV and electric fireplace insert. Luxury walk-in showers feature floor-to-ceiling tile, complemented by a freestanding soaking tub and floating double vanity. The dedicated theater seats 12 with a 100-inch Samsung TV and surround sound. A separate game room features arcade games and a full-size pool table. Features high-speed AT&T fiber as well. Outside, enjoy composite decking throughout, a private hot tub, propane fireplace, wood-burning fire pit, and Tesla EV charger. Utility water connection at the road; currently supplied by an installed well to save on monthly costs, with the utility connection as a backup if ever needed. A guest favorite and a REGULAR favorite of the local bears, with luxury, privacy, and amenities designed to keep guests coming back! Few properties are as well appointed or as strong of a performer!
