The cabins are in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains and we bought them as a family vacation getaway. My sisters used to come up and we'd all go camping, but tent camping got old after a while. I found these while they were bank-owned and got them for a great price. We don't rent them because we never know when someone will call and say, "Hey, can we come up for the weekend?" However, we're considering listing them on Airbnb for a couple of months out of the year, just to generate a little income to cover taxes and insurance.
All this is to say, it's really nice to have a place to go where you can relax. Even though our cabins are only a 15-minute drive from our house, it's like going away. I think if you crunch the numbers and think you can swing it, you should do it!
Wow, that sounds like such a lovely arrangement!!! Very inspiring. Do you have pictures of your cabins?
