Auntie Belhams Cabin Rentals

What Auntie Belhams Cabin Rentals does

Auntie Belham's Cabin Rentals is a privately held, family-run vacation cabin rental company headquartered in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, operating in the Smoky Mountains region. The company manages a portfolio of 150+ individually named cabin properties across three sub-markets — Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville — with sizes ranging from 1 to 9 bedrooms and amenities including hot tubs, mountain views, game rooms, theater rooms, full kitchens, and Starlink satellite internet. A Tennessee Licensed Vacation Lodging Service (VLS ID Number 328), the company has operated for over 30 years and serves leisure travelers to the Smoky Mountains, including families, multi-generational groups, couples, pet owners, and large groups (sports teams, corporate retreats). It maintains strong guest review ratings of 4.8-4.9/5.0 across featured cabins and notable repeat-customer loyalty.

The core business model is direct-to-consumer nightly cabin rental. Guests browse and book through the company's website (auntiebelhams.com) or a staffed call center with local and toll-free numbers. Nightly rates vary by cabin size, location, season, and amenity profile (approximately $118-$899/night across the sampled portfolio), with additional fees for pets ($75/dog), cleaning, and damage waivers. The company bundles a free Smoky Mountain Adventure Pass with every booking through its partnership with Xplorie, providing up to $850+ per day in attraction tickets (Dollywood, white water rafting, dinner shows) as a perceived-value differentiator. A B2B Cabin Owner Property Management program with a dedicated owner portal allows third-party property owners to list their cabins on the platform. Marketing is conducted through the website, a content blog, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and email/text communication. The company employs 8 people and uses a virtual check-in/check-out process.
