Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge STR - Is Cable Worth it?

[Brian Pouliot]

Hi BP Community! We've owned our STR in Gatlinburg for over 4 years now and have been paying for DirecTV the whole time. We also have a Roku with all the normal streaming apps and gig speed internet. As of late, I feel like no one is actually using DirecTV and honestly that we don't get any more bookings because we offer it. I'm considering cancelling it as its now close to $150/mo. Has anyone experienced a dip in occupancy or poor reviews because they don't have cable/ DirectTv in the area? Or is this just the cost of doing business?

We're cord cutters ourselves (haven't paid for cable since 2012 and feels amazing!) so making sure I'm not too bias here. 

Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!
