It's done. Cabins on the Cumberland is officially complete.
In this episode, I'm sharing what it really took to build a 12-cabin micro resort with an event venue, game center, and year-round amenities — from construction milestones and financing lessons to direct bookings, full buyouts, and what's next.
We talk through:
How the build unfolded over 2.5 years
What I'd do differently with underwriting and reserves
How we've maintained 30–50% direct bookings
Why full property buyouts (weddings, retreats, church groups) are the future
The unglamorous realities no one posts about — dead season, cash flow, and learning as you go
This is a raw, behind-the-scenes look at building a destination property — not just something that looks good online, but something designed to last.
If you're building, scaling, or dreaming about a micro resort or event-driven STR, this episode will give you real context, not theory. Connect with me:
