Is Blue Ridge really Saturated?

[Archana K.]

Hi All! My Husband & I are in search of our 1st STR cabin (2/2) in the Blue Ridge area. We started off with the Smokies and soon realized that it's way too expensive for our budget and so moved to Blue Ridge. We do read a lot of post that mention BR is saturated already and there are STR restrictions coming up in the surrounding areas like Brairsville. Can anyone please give us some insights on this? Is BR really saturated at this point of time? Is there an alternative market/area that we can consider now? Thanks!
