As an Airbnb host, I’ve seen a little bit of everything - damages, extra cleaning, ruined towels, and even a guest who decided vacation was the perfect time to dye their hair.

But this one has me truly flabbergasted.

A guest left the front door at our chalet open with a bowl of honey sitting inside… in Gatlinburg… in bear country. 🐻🍯

Thankfully, the honey was untouched and no bears came inside.

But feeding bears, tempting bears, or inviting bears inside? Absolutely not. That is how cabins get damaged, guests get scared, and bears get put in danger.

The Smokies are magical, but let’s not send the bears a dinner invitation.

JUST CLOSED | 427 Montview Way, Gatlinburg, TN 🏡✨

I loved this cute little cabin from the start and shared it with client after client until the right buyer came along who knows how strong a well-positioned studio cabin can perform in the Smoky Mountains. They snatched it up for a great deal, and I cannot wait to watch them take this one to the max.

Congrats to my buyers on another Gatlinburg STR investment! 🔑

🏔️ JUST CLOSED in Sevierville, TN! 🏔️

This one had absolutely PHENOMENAL views and so much potential for the new owners to take it to the next level with a refresh and self-management strategy.

Also, huge shoutout to the buyer’s agent for being wonderful to work with, as always. Smooth closings with a great agent makes all the difference from contract to close!

There’s nothing better than seeing an overlooked cabin with great bones, killer views, and strong potential land in the right hands. Those are my favorite kinds of deals. 🙌
