Three Assets.
Three Cash Flows.
Each property was sourced, financed, and repositioned as a distinct STR play in the Smoky Mountain market — operated with the same rigor I apply to institutional deals at the bank.
& Beyond
I developed this property to meet the growing demand for luxury accommodations designed specifically for large families and group travel in the Great Smoky Mountains. As the gateway to the most visited national park in the United States, the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge market continues to attract millions of visitors each year, creating strong demand for thoughtfully designed, amenity-rich vacation homes. My vision was to create more than just a cabin—I wanted to build a destination where families and friends could gather, reconnect, and create lasting memories. Every aspect of the property was intentionally designed to maximize the guest experience, from expansive indoor and outdoor gathering spaces to a covered outdoor living room featuring a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and television. The result is a premium short-term rental that combines memorable guest experiences with strong investment fundamentals, demonstrating how intentional design can create lasting value in one of the nation's most resilient vacation rental markets.
Wonder
I repositioned this property to better align with evolving demand trends in the Great Smoky Mountains vacation rental market. Originally configured as a one-bedroom cabin, the property was redesigned and upgraded to serve the growing demand for larger group accommodations by transforming it into a two-bedroom retreat. Through targeted capital improvements, including a full kitchen renovation, updated furnishings, and refreshed interior design elements, I enhanced both the guest experience and the property's competitive positioning.
The repositioning strategy was focused on capturing a broader segment of travelers seeking high-quality accommodations for families and small groups while increasing the property's revenue potential. With vaulted ceilings, a dedicated game loft, and panoramic mountain views throughout the home, Midnight Wonder demonstrates how thoughtful upgrades and strategic repositioning can unlock additional value within an existing asset.
De Vues
My second ground-up development, this project represents the continued execution of a market-driven approach to luxury short-term rental development. Built on an elevated Gatlinburg lot, the property was designed around its defining competitive advantage: unobstructed 360° Smoky Mountain views. The contemporary design incorporates expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, creating a unique guest experience that differentiates the asset within the local market.
Currently under construction and scheduled for completion in 2026, this project reflects my focus on identifying strong locations, creating differentiated products, and aligning design decisions with long-term investment performance.
