Welcome to your cozy mountain getaway in the peaceful side of the smokies! This two bedroom cabin has been fully updated and has been a very popular short term rental this year. This cabin is truly unique as it has the charm of real wood logs, mixed with todays popular modern farmhouse style. On the main level there is a living room with beautiful vaulted ceilings, a full bathroom, and an open and bright kitchen. You can also access the wrap around porch from the living room. The wrap around porch is also screened in on the rear of the cabin, perfect for relaxing or enjoying a game of corn hole. Upstairs in the loft is bedroom one which has a king bed and plenty of space to spread out. Downstairs is bedroom two which has a queen bed, a large walk in closet for extra storage space, a full bathroom, and an open rec room area which currently has a custom barrel multi-cade system with over 400 games. Walk outside the basement to the covered patio with a beautiful aspen spa. There is also a large fire pit area perfect for a night with s'mores! For the investor one of the big perks of this property is that it is setup with full camper hookups (water, sewer, and a 50 amp electric plug in) which is a perfect additional revenue stream that has yet to be tapped into by the current owner. It also has a brand new metal RV building to protect your RV investment for years to come. Between the revenue of the cabin which was around $65k this year and the potential revenue of the RV spot this is a great investment property for the price. RV rentals in the area go for around $100/night on average so there is potential to add an extra $15k-$30k a year in revenue. The two story storage shed next to the camper also has electric and could be finished out as an additional game area or whatever creative idea you may have! This property is turn key and just a short drive to tuckaleechee caverns and all of Townsends best attractions!
