Wouldn’t we all like to do that- drive a Mercedes for the price of a Saturn? These are interesting times but along with the challanges there are opportunities and as far as owning a premium cabin in the Smoky Mountains the answer to the title question is Yes! Read on to find out how.

Legacy Mountain Resort is among the best resorts in the Smokies. Its location is in proximity to the highest drawing attractions, the cabin designs and construction quality is second to none, the amenity complex was designed and built to significantly increase the value and income of every cabin in the resort and the views are absolutely spectacular. The major drawback from an investment perspective was that at the height of the market in 2006 and 2007 they were priced so high that, even at full occupancy their potential return on investment was less that many investors were seeking.

Having had a 20+ cabin purchase belly up after the cabins had been completed, Legacy hit the down turn of the market with a large inventory of completed but unsold cabins. Consequently, three of these cabins are available as foreclosures and several are available as short sales at discounts from 25% to 47% from their original prices. Due to all the factors previously mentioned coupled with the virtually at-cost price available, these cabins represent the best opportunities I’ve seen since I started selling cabins in 1992 and will certainly be among the premier investment opportunities for the long term.

If you would love to own your own premier cabin in the Smokies but have been waiting to get the biggest bang for your buck, it will never get better than this!

Now that you know why so many people regularly vacation in the Tennessee Smokies, who are these people?

Our guests are Middle Class America. They run the gamut from hourly employees to doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs. They relish every moment of vacation they can grab and want the most out of it.

Therefore, their accommodations are a top priority. Until the early 1990’s, motels were the major choice of vacationers because that was what was available. Cabins were available in limited numbers but in the 90’s the cabin development boom began in earnest and once motel frequenters experienced a cabin vacation they were hooked.

It’s easy to understand why. While everyone looks forward to their vacation, it’s still a stressful time. Here’s dad (frequently mom too- I’m not being sexist here) who have family contact a few hours a day during the week and a few more on weekends. On vacation, they’re together nearly 24 hours a day and a motel room doesn’t allow for much personal space while a cabin gives everyone some breathing room.

Through the 90’s, the demand was so high that virtually any decent cabin performed well. But as supply caught up with demand the cabin market became very competitive and remains so.

Next time we will start investigating what separates the top producing cabins from the marginal ones.
