Hello Cuzg8tor,
We are planning on a move to the Villages in the near future. We own a cabin in a resort near Pigeon Forge. We had the cabin built as an investment property and rent it out through a management company. We thought about doing the same thing you are talking about if we move to the Villages. The mountains are beautiful no matter what time of the year.
You may view pictures of our cabin and some of the resort at this web site.
