Public Remarks: This property produced $135,213 in 2024 and $146,272 in 2025, with 2025 occupancy hitting 64.9 percent against a 53 percent market average. Sixty five confirmed bookings in 2025. The performance report is third party verified and available for review. Worth noting for anyone running numbers: PriceLabs flags this property as currently priced below its local comp set in both peak and low season, which is a rate lever a new owner inherits on day one. The lodge sleeps up to 30 and carries 16 beds throughout, including three kings and seven queens. Four and a half bathrooms across the floor plan, so groups this size are not standing in line. The private indoor heated pool sits on the main level and runs year round. There is a dedicated theater room with proper seating and an 86 inch screen, plus a separate game room with a pro pool table, arcade cabinet, and foosball. The kitchen is built to cook for a crowd with a dining table long enough to seat everyone at once. The back deck is new, and once the leaves drop it opens up to a mountain view. Hot tub on the deck over national forest. Fire pit and swing below it. Deep covered front porch. Easy paved access with no steep grades. Dogs welcome. The capital investment here is substantial and recent. The back deck is new. The hot tub was new in 2021. The French doors running from the back deck into the pool room were replaced. The pool has a new electric heater, replaced roughly two years ago, plus a pool cover and reel in place, which is the single biggest lever on heating cost for an indoor pool. The pool room has a new industrial sized dehumidifier and exhaust fan. The entire cabin has been painted throughout, with the pool room repainted recently. An HVAC maintenance contract is in place and stays current. Maranatha Resort sits on the peaceful side of the Smokies, under two miles from the Cosby entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Cosby section of the park is a mile or so south of the neighborhood and holds some of the quietest hiking in the entire park, which is the reason guests who have done Gatlinburg once come back here instead. Whitewater rafting on the Pigeon River is minutes away. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are reached via I-40 without driving through town.
