The Story
745 Ski View Lane
Sky Harbor sits between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, and that positioning is the first thing STR investors notice. Guests booking in this market want proximity to both towns without being in the middle of either. This cabin delivers that, along with easy access to the national park, the Parkway, Dollywood, downtown Gatlinburg, hiking trails, and fishing. Sky Harbor consistently performs well in the Smokies rental market because of exactly this, central location, wooded setting, and the kind of quiet that guests are actually paying for.
The cabin is two bedrooms, two full bathrooms. Functional layout for couples, small families, or two couples traveling together. The living area has a fireplace and open gathering space. Kitchen has granite countertops and updated appliances. Bathrooms are remodeled. New flooring throughout. The interior reads as a genuine mountain cabin, not a flipped rental with mismatched finishes.
The screened-in covered deck overlooking the wooded backdrop is the kind of amenity that shows up in guest reviews. It's private, it's quiet, and it extends the usable space of the property in a way that matters to bookings. Add the hot tub and you have an outdoor setup that drives reservations in shoulder seasons when other properties go quiet.
The major capital expenditures are already done. HVAC replaced in 2019. Water heater three years old. New appliances, new flooring, remodeled bathrooms, new fireplace, new granite countertops, new exterior stain, new lighting. A new owner isn't walking into deferred maintenance. They're walking into a property that's ready to book.
For first-time STR investors, that matters because your first year is already complicated enough without a repair list. For experienced operators, it means your acquisition cost isn't hiding a capital reserve problem.
Private retreat buyers get the same benefit. The work is done. You show up, you enjoy it, and it earns when you're not there.
Showings available.
