Turn-key STR opportunity with upside potential in a prime location directly across from Soaky Mountain Water Park and just minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

From an investment standpoint, Bearless Whisper is showing strong year-over-year rental performance in today's evolving Smoky Mountain STR market. The cabin generated approximately $32,429 in rental revenue in 2025 and, as of late May 2026, was pacing approximately 18.3% ahead of the same timeframe last year with improved occupancy trends and more consistent booking activity. In a market where many properties are struggling to maintain occupancy, this cabin has continued to attract guests through competitive positioning, strong location appeal, and guest-focused amenities.

Current trends point toward the potential for an even stronger 2026 performance, giving buyers the opportunity to step into a property with proven rental history, positive momentum, and additional upside potential through minor occupancy and layout optimization. Buyers are encouraged to reach out for updated real-time booking and revenue growth data as the season progresses.

This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin offers a flexible layout designed to maximize both guest experience and rental performance. Currently configured to sleep 4, the existing living room layout allows for an easy upgrade to a sleeper sofa, increasing capacity to 6 and creating immediate upside in both booking appeal and revenue potential.

Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, this cabin features a serene wooded backdrop and year-round mountain views while mature trees create a more private feel--especially from the rear decks overlooking the mountains. With city water and sewer in place, the property offers both convenience and peace of mind for long-term ownership and rental performance.

Inside, you'll find an inviting open-concept living area with a gas-log fireplace, a fully updated kitchen featuring granite countertops and modern appliances (2021), and a main-level bathroom renovated in 2023 with a walk-in shower. The upper level provides a second bedroom with its own private bathroom, along with an arcade game and additional space that appeals to families and groups.

Outdoor living is a standout feature, with two separate decks offering elevated mountain views, a private hot tub (2020), and a natural gas fire pit area with ambient lighting--creating a memorable guest experience that drives bookings and repeat stays.

Major system updates include a new roof (2020), HVAC (2022), and appliances (2021), providing peace of mind and reduced maintenance for the next owner.

Whether you're looking for a personal getaway or a value-add short-term rental investment, this property offers a strong foundation with clear potential.
