Every Kind of Cabin Move
Buying, selling, or building a portfolio in the Smokies — we've done it 400+ times.
Cabin People, With a Spreadsheet
Alder & Pine have spent fourteen years doing one thing: Smoky Mountain cabins. We know which roads ice over in January, which views command a premium, which permits matter, and — because we track booking data across the market — what every cabin should actually earn.
That's the difference. Anyone can show you a pretty cabin. We show you the cabin, the comps, and the income statement, so your mountain getaway is also a sound investment.
- ✓14 years exclusively in Smokies cabins
- ✓Real STR income data on every showing
- ✓Permit, tax & management guidance
- ✓400+ cabins bought and sold

Cabins That Perform
We bought our two-bedroom in Chalet Village through Alder & Pine. Their income analysis said $58k gross — it did $61k in year one. The projection wasn't a sales pitch, it was math.
They sold our cabin in nine days, over asking, with rental history packaged so buyers could see exactly what it earned. Nobody else in town markets a cabin like that.
First-time out-of-state buyer here. They walked me through permits, taxes, management options, and what actually books in the Smokies. I closed from Ohio without a single surprise.
We wanted a family getaway that covers its own costs. They found us a cabin that books 40 weekends a year and still leaves us the holidays. Best of both worlds.
Buy From Anywhere. We're Your Boots in the Smokies.
Most of our buyers live hours away — Ohio, Florida, Texas. We tour cabins on live video, flag what the camera can't smell or hear, coordinate inspections, and hand off to trusted local management after closing.
You get a cabin in the mountains and a team on the ground, without burning your vacation days on the buying process.
- ✓Live video cabin tours
- ✓Local inspection & permit coordination
- ✓Trusted management & cleaner referrals
- ✓Close remotely from anywhere

What Buyers Ask Us Most
How much does a Gatlinburg cabin earn as a rental?
It varies widely by size, view, and amenities — that's exactly why we run a real income analysis on every cabin instead of quoting averages. A well-bought two-bedroom typically grosses strong five figures; we'll show you the actual comps.
Can I use the cabin myself and still rent it?
Yes — most of our owners block their own weeks and rent the rest. We'll model the income impact of your personal use so there are no surprises.
What about permits and taxes for short-term rentals?
Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevier County each have their own rules. We handle the permit picture during your purchase and connect you with a local accountant for lodging-tax setup.
I live out of state — can I really buy remotely?
Most of our buyers do. Live video tours, local inspections, remote closing, and management handoff — the whole process works from anywhere.
Do you help with 1031 exchanges?
Yes. We work with qualified intermediaries regularly and know the timelines cold — identification windows, closing deadlines, all of it.
What areas do you cover?
The whole Smokies market — Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Wears Valley, Chalet Village, Sky Harbor, Cobbly Nob, and Sevierville.
