Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge cash flow str rentals

[Ray Thorsen]

I am heading down to the Smoky Mountain Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge Tennessee area on vacation and wanted to check out some Str cabins for a possible AirBNB model. I am wondering if anyone would share what areas are best or worst, what size units stay rented the most, What amenities are must haves? Obviously brand new with granite counters and a killer Mountain view would be ideal but that comes at a cost. I am trying to figure out if there is a sweet spot when you compare acquisition cost, rental rates and occupancy. Also are there any meet ups in the area that run in the middle of the month?  Thanks
