Fast-Growing

STR Market

  • 12+ million annual visitors to the Smoky Mountains

  • 3.7+ million short-term rental nights booked in 2024

  • $23.9 Billion estimated volume of direct spending by Great Smoky Mountain National Park visitors in 2022 in gateway communities —National Parks Service

EXPERIENTIAL DIFFERENTIATION
Homes with indoor pools, arcade rooms, and movie theaters provide a unique and elevated guest experience that stands out from standard STRs

MORE BALANCED SEASONALITY
Indoor entertainment options make the homes attractive in all seasons, reducing reliance on peak travel months

GROUP BUYOUT FLEXIBILITY
The ability to bundle multiple homes together caters to larger groups, corporate retreats, weddings, and family reunions—Smokies is a market that struggles to offer high-end, multi-unit accommodations.

COMMUNAL AMENITIES
Shared spaces like clubhouses, fire pits, or sports courts enhance the guest experience and create a resort-like atmosphere, setting the development apart from standalone rental properties.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES
As the preferred property manager, managing multiple rentals on-site in one location streamlines operations, maintenance, and housekeeping, reducing costs.

STRONGER DIRECT BOOKING POTENTIAL
The unique offering makes it easier to drive direct bookings from past guests, corporate groups, and weddings, reducing reliance on OTAs and improving profit margins.

Our Competitive

Advantage

If you hold the investment for 10+ years, you eliminate capital gains taxes on the appreciation of the Opportunity Zone investment.

Cost segregation can break out components of the home (e.g., flooring, HVAC, appliances) into 5-, 7-, and 15-year depreciation schedules, allowing for faster tax write-offs.
