Some cabins offer mountain views. Others offer convenience. Very few deliver both--while offering a proven history as a successful short-term rental. Welcome to The Reserve--a beautifully renovated mountain retreat where modern design, privacy, and one of the Smokies' most sought-after locations come together. Officially offered as a two-bedroom, three-bath cabin, its thoughtfully designed layout has been successfully advertised on Airbnb as a three-bedroom vacation rental accommodating up to six guests, creating exceptional flexibility for buyers seeking a personal mountain retreat, a proven short-term rental investment, or the best of both. Just 4.1 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, 6.7 miles from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and only 13 miles from Dollywood, this property places owners and guests within minutes of the area's most popular attractions while still feeling peacefully tucked away among the trees with beautiful mountain views from the expansive deck. Inside, approximately 1,650 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space welcomes you with oversized windows that frame the mountains, a warm stone fireplace, an open-concept gathering space, a fully equipped kitchen, and three full bathrooms that comfortably accommodate family and guests. Multiple outdoor living areas, including a spacious deck with a hot tub, create the perfect setting to enjoy sunrise coffee, evening sunsets, or quiet nights beneath the stars. The private lower level, complete with its own living space, full bath, coffee bar, and separate exterior entrance, provides additional privacy that guests and owners alike will appreciate. For investors, this isn't simply a cabin with potential--it's a property with demonstrated performance, generating $87,568 in gross rental revenue during 2025 while earning a 4.85-star Airbnb rating, reflecting a history of satisfied guests and consistent demand. Whether you're searching for a turnkey investment, a mountain getaway to enjoy with family, or a second home that helps offset ownership costs, The Reserve offers the rare combination of proven income potential, breathtaking mountain views, modern finishes, and a location that keeps visitors returning to the Smokies year after year.
