Short Term Vacation Rental Pigeon Forge / Sevierville area

[Lindsay Broome]

We are shopping around Pigeon Forge area for a potential vacation rental chalet. Not looking for turn key, but something we can put some work into to make it a great rental.  My husband does remodeling work and we live in Nashville (about a 3.5 hr drive)

Who has a successful place in the area?  We were looking at a gated community off Waldens Creek Road.  Any advice?

We would want to do as much management as we could ourselves, any suggestions of property managers who would just clean and be on call for maintenance or emergencies?
