A few things to confirm before you make an offer.
Once you find a cabin you like, make sure it can be used the way you expect and understand what comes with the sale.
Can you rent it the way you plan?
Ask whether the address is inside Gatlinburg city limits and what current short-term-rental rules apply. Check any HOA rules and deed restrictions too. Past rental use does not guarantee the same setup for a new owner.
Will it work for your guests?
Check the bedroom count, septic or sewer system, parking, road access, utilities, safety features, condition, and insurance. Find out whether the location and layout fit the way you plan to use it.
What stays after closing?
Ask about furniture, future reservations, management agreements, online listing accounts, and vendor relationships. Review the taxes, loan terms, deed, and HOA documents before closing.
Research the market and run your numbers.
