Perfect for overnight rentals or the most fun family vacation home, this magical woodland retreat is part of the popular Forgotten Forest community in Sevier County, Tennessee. Overlooking a mysterious stone circle and garden labyrinth, this low maintenance, 1,400-square foot cottage, with a rec room and lots of bed space for maximum occupancy, is designed to welcome all manner of creatures and Fantastic Beasts. Featuring three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, rough-sawn ceiling, marble tops, wood and stone exterior and interior, generous patio with hot tub and custom firepit, and many other magical details, this cottage is uniquely designed for tourists. An imaginative, new overnight rental community filled with magic houses, under-the-hill burrows, castles, and other unique offerings, the Forgotten Forest is designed for and by mythical creatures. Hidden on more than 12 acres in Kodak, Tennessee, the Forest is close to Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but mere minutes from the new exit 407 development, meaning you avoid all the region's check-in and check-out traffic. Though still under construction, the Forgotten Forest boasts an occupancy rate well above the region's average (check out The Wizard's Trolley, Howard's Hollow, Three Wizard's, Spellbound Inn, First Love, and Mandrake's Lodge on Airbnb). This magical community also includes carved fairy tale creatures, a wishing well, 10-foot tall ancient sword, and soon will be home to an ancient ruins pool and waterpark slide. The Forest is completely sold out, so do not miss a chance to start making passive income by fall! Proof of financing required with offer.
Previously sold out, the Forgotten Forest now has an availability! An imaginative, new overnight rental community filled with castles, treehouse cabins, burrows and magical houses, the Forest is designed for and by mythical creatures and boasts one of the country's best tourist locations. Hidden on eight acres in Sevier County, Tennessee, the Forgotten Forest is close to Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the new exit 407 development. This three-bedroom treehouse cabin will be ready for renters by the end of February and has a modestly projected annual income of $70,000. After just one year, the first house at the Forgotten Forest has an astonishing occupancy rate of 75% (The Wizard's Trolley on Airbnb). This magical community includes a mythical stone circle, garden labyrinth, carved woodland creatures, wishing well, 10-foot tall ancient sword, and soon will be home to an ancient ruins pool and waterpark slide. The custom-built treehouse cabin features beautiful views of 100 acres of protected land to the front, and acres of trees to the back. With bark and vinyl siding, two full bathrooms, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, granite tops, lvp flooring and a generous deck with hot tub, this house is part of a small community, so do not miss a chance to start making passive income by spring break! Offer deadline 7 pm, Tuesday, January 3. Proof of financing required with offer. Seller will respond by 7 pm January 5, and retains the right to accept an offer prior to submission deadline.
