We have been in the Smokies a long time, and many guest accidents, some of them life threatening over the years, could have been avoided with an annual risk management walk-thru:- Loose or rotting steps- Nails poking up through deck boards- Stinging insect hives or infestations- Ceiling fans that are barely hanging on- Loose deck, stair, and landing railings- And oh, about a hundred other things!

Purchase price: $287,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Our newly remodeled 4BR / 2BA mountain villa features all new furniture, 3 King beds and 1 Queen Bed, and plenty of parking for at least 4 vehicles.
