What influences the cost of a cabin?
Well, that depends. Before we can answer how much cabins cost we want to make sure you know what influences the price of a cabin and will help to secure the investment you make.
- Location – Does location really matter that much? You bet it does! When it comes to driving at night, loading a bunch of screaming kids in the van, navigating those mountain roads, and trying to make it to the show on time…location matters!
- Amenities – What matters to you when you rent a cabin? The number of rooms, private theaters and pools, games for the kids, or a secluded mountain view for mom and dad? Knowing what people look for and what a development offers is a important part of the cabin purchasing process.
- Mountain Streams vs Mountain Views – Is it better to have a view or be located on a stream or river? Honestly, it not stream vs view….it is stream or view. Log Cabins with a mountain view, or located on a stream or river may cost more to purchase but usually have better rental numbers and will grow more in equity through the years.
- Management – Knowing how and who will manage your cabin is often one of the major factors in determining what location you can purchase a cabin. Self-managing and listing your cabin with a local management company both come with pros and cons. Knowing what network your management company will and will not service and what challenges may present themself when purchasing cabins in certain locations should always be considered before an offer is made.
So, now to answer the question; how much will it cost to purchase a Cabin in Pigeon Forge? Depending on the location, amenities, view, and rental history it can cost anywhere between $200,000 and $1,000,000+! That is quite the range…so where do you began?
