The Split Pine Lodge

Nestled in the heart of the Gatlinburg area, Split Pine Lodge was a hidden gem with untapped potential. We acquired this unique duplex through creative financing from a long-time owner who had been renting it weekly to local performers. From the moment we walked the property, we saw the opportunity to elevate it into a top-tier short-term rental.

We moved quickly—renovating the entire lodge from top to bottom and furnishing it with warm, mountain-inspired décor that paid homage to the charm of the Smokies. The result was a cozy, inviting Airbnb that resonated with guests and delivered strong, consistent performance.

After a successful run, we strategically exited the property to unlock capital for future investments—proving once again that with vision and execution, the right property can tell a brand-new story.

We were able to step in, provide a quick and smooth closing, and help the family transition into their next chapter.
