We made an offer on a completely furnished cabin ( including dishes, silverware and even the coffee pot) at the foot of the Smokey Mountains. We're scheduled to close on 10-27-2016. These are the pictures taken before we closed. It's a 400sf one room cabin with a trailer sitting next to it. On the front of the cabin there's a 200 SF screened in porch. Absolutely beautiful! The cabin has a full size kitchen, a little laundry room and a full bath. The trailer is a 2000 30' travel trailer that has been converted into just sleeping quarters. There is no kitchen or couches in the trailer as everything has been removed except for a queen size bed. Where the bedroom used to be has been converted into a walk-in closet/dressing area or a bedroom where the grand kids can sleep on a blow up bed. The previous owners lived and ate and took showers in the cabin - and slept in the trailer. It's a very cool little getaway! We can't wait to make it "ours."
Ever since we sold our last motor home we have talked about either buying a 5th wheel, another RV or a cabin in the mountains. I wanted something to break up the boredom of sitting in my house, watching TV all day and just getting fatter and fatter. We also wanted to get away from the summer heat and humidity of Florida AND I especially wanted a "getaway" or an "escape" location if this country goes completely mad - which I believe is half way there now. If SHTF, we can absolutely live here full time. Easily. It's a gated community and boy are they strict about letting people in! We weren't allowed in to preview and real estate for sale without our Realtor. I like that. Makes us feel safer.

| Gazebo. Wood burning fireplace. This is the place where we'll probably spend most of our time. |
 |
| Before pic. Screened in front porch. This porch is huge! It has a TV mounted in one corner and we're getting a couple of small recliners to be able to watch in extreme comfort! |

 |
| Before pic. Living room area. The previous owner removed some of the things on the walls and we took down the rest to give to our daughter-in-law who will make wonderful things out of them. That black box on the wall is an electric fireplace that actually puts out a good amount of heat when it's turned on. Very cool :) |

| Before pic. Living room area. All that stuff belonged to the seller. They took some of it with them. |

| Our 6 person golf cart. We bought this separately and boy is hard to turn when not moving, but we got a fantastic deal on it! |
 |
| What the "tiled" kitchen counter top looked like. A little too rustic for us, so we're getting a new counter top. |

Before pic. Back of cabin. Storage shed. Lot's of tools can be stored in the shed.

Here's a video of what our trailer looked like before the previous owner converted it to a bedroom.
