A Prime Time To Invest In Smoky Mountain Real Estate

Posted by Gatlin on

We know from experience and previous articles that the Great Smoky Mountains are a top tourist destination. There are over 9 million annual visitors and the numbers keep climbing. Aside from those facts there are many more reasons why we believe the Smoky Mountain area is a great pick for a real estate investment. The area boasts the largest collection of independent artisans and hosts numerous events like this week’s Annual Craftmens Fair in Gatlinburg. There are numerous attractions and it is all within a days drive for two thirds of America. Now, both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have big projects going on that are going to make the list even longer. Let’s see what they have planned.

Over the last few months, Gatlinburg officials have held numerous meetings to explore and discuss the possibility of constructing a youth sports complex. On Tuesday evening it was decided that they would move forward towards making this a reality. The city entered into agreements with the Sports Facility Advisory and the consulting firm Conventions & Leisure to conduct feasibility  studies and a business pro-forma analysis. The findings were positive, showing that Gatlinburg had adequate accommodation choices and entertainment venues to attract major sports tournaments and other sports events. The facility would include a 79,000 square foot indoor complex with five basketball courts, eight full sized multi-use soccer fields and 600 new parking spaces. The effect would be more vacationers drawn to the area and planning their trips around sports tournaments. The studies reveal that the project would bring more than $34 million to the area.

In September of 2013, Pigeon Forge will open the LeConte Center. Located near Pigeon Forge attractions, shows and shopping this will be a multi-use event center that will attract many new events to the area. The facility will include a 100,500 square foot assembly hall, numerous multi-purpose rooms, catering, concessions and 1,600 parking spaces. It is expected to be home to numerous assemblies, competitive events and trade shows.

Both of these facilities will add jobs to the area and increase the already high tourism to the area. At this time we see a real estate market that is improving from last year and the addition of these new attractions for the area are on track to keep that trend going. There are numerous investment properties available on the market and we believe now is the time to start exploring the option of purchasing a home in the area. Not sure where to start with owning a vacation rental property? Our team is dedicated to providing you sound information and guiding you through every step of the process.

A Memorable Day On Mt. Leconte: Experiencing The Annual Helicopter Supply Drop

Posted by Gatlin on

I recently had the experience of helping with the annual helicopter supply drop at on Mt. LeConte. Wow! An amazing hike, amazing experience and amazing views. Today, I would like to share more about this experience, several photos and a little information about Mt. LeConte and The LeConte Lodge. If you have never been, today you will find out why this is one hike you should be putting on the calendar.

At 6,593 ft. elevation, Mt. LeConte is one of the highest peaks in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In 1924, avid hiker Paul Adams led an expedition up the mountain to show the group the rugged beauty of the mountains. They spent the night in a tent which later became a cabin and eventually LeConte Lodge. LeConte Lodge is the highest inn serving guests in the Eastern United States. Featuring a series of personal cabins and a central lodge/dining hall the lodge is usually open from March – November and can accommodate around 50 guests at a time. Guests must hike in on one of five trails that access the mountain. Being a quite popular trip, guests are encouraged to make reservations a year in advance. Due to the lack of traditional access supplies are brought in annually via a helicopter drop. It was a beautiful day for the air lift.

On the hike up the last of winter was still hanging on the mountain. By the next day it had completely melted & now it is officially spring.

At the top enjoying the excitement of the supply drop and all of the amazing views.

Watching the helicopter getting closer with the supplies.

Drop! Navigating a tight space the helicopter brings all of the fuel, canned goods, t-shirts and more.

The next day the fog put the final hours of the lift on hold. After all the excitement the fog made for another gorgeous hike down from Mt. LeConte.

You can see for miles from here. The second ridge line below the bird is a view of Chalet Village in Gatlinburg from “Cliff Tops” on Mt. Leconte.This was a truly awe-inspiring experience. If you have not hiked Mt. LeConte or visited the LeConte Lodge you should now.
You will find yourself surrounded by stunning views, wildlife and great people. Seeing Chalet Village from such a high vantage point in the picture above reminds us of what a great location the homes in this community occupy above Gatlinburg. Chalet Village is minutes to Ober Gatlinburg, downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Though it’s not Mt. LeConte, it has some pretty stunning mountain views of its own. Below are just a few Chalet Village properties, you can see more at .

Celebrating Spring In The Great Smoky Mountains

Posted by Gatlin on

Early blooms, warm weather and news of  the in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park are all sure signs that spring is upon us. Registration has begun for this 5 day long annual event that will lead participants through all of the spring beauty the Smoky Mountains have to offer. Let’s take a look at what you can expect to find on this adventure.

The event will begin on April 25th with a luncheon at W.L. Mills Conference Room. The event offers 134 professionally guided walks on the trails in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park as well as indoor presentations in Mills Conference Center and Sugarlands Training Room in Gatlinburg. 

The event began in 1951 as a two-day event. Hundreds of participants attended from 20 different states. The event was featured in National Geographic magazine. During that first year, Lucinda Ogle worried that the weather would prevent access to many outdoor events and presented flower specimens from her own garden in a case of Coca-Cola bottles at one of the evening meetings. The Coke bottle flower garden is still a big part of the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage and features over 100 different plant species. Today the number of participants has doubled and it is a great educational and social event for anyone wanting to learn more about the native plant species and take an opportunity to get outdoors to enjoy the beautiful spring weather.

Along with these tours and sessions you can enjoy the gallery of Smoky Mountain art and plant displays or get involved and volunteer to help with the event by contacting Holly at . This is a non-profit event that depends on the support of local organizations and volunteers to provide the wide variety of experiences each year.

Registration is open online at their along with a large amount of additional information. This is a great time to plan a spring trip to get to know more about the Great Smoky Mountains and see all of the reasons it is a dream location for a vacation home or full-time living. While you are in the area give us a call or send us an email, we would be happy to discuss more area information and help you begin your for a Smoky Mountain home.

What Makes The Great Smoky Mountains A Top Destination?

Posted by Gatlin on

Trip Advisor attributed close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, outdoor activities and other attraction options like Dollywood as a few of the advantages of Pigeon Forge. If we dig deeper into the area we will find a few other things that bring many people back to the area time and again.

Both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg boast numerous opportunities for shopping with outlet malls and smaller shops showcasing mountain heritage items. There are a wide variety of dinner shows, haunted houses, go-kart tracks and other family friendly attractions. Throughout the year you will find numerous special events going on, such as The Grand Rod Run car show, Wilderness Wildlife Week, Appalachian Quiltfest and many more.
