4) Proximity to Atlanta, florida and the smoky mountains!
With its proximity to Atlanta, which hosts the busiest Airport in the WORLD (yes, not just United States, but the whole world with 100+ million travelers annually), it is extremely easy to get there! Not to mention, the population in Atlanta is over 6million and this is one of the closest popular getaway destinations for the city.
And it doesn’t end there. Blue Ridge is also one of the nearest mountain destinations for the Southeast, including Florida, and attracts a large amount of tourists from those areas, as it is close enough to make the drive!
The smoky mountains are only a couple hour drive, and Blue Ridge offers tourists a locations that is more serene and laid back than the other options of Gatlinburg/Cherokee.
5) Established vacation rental city
When investing in AirBnb’s, one of the most important factors to consider is regulations. There have been many larger cities that have imposed regulations on AirBnb’s as they have taken away necessary long term rental housing for the population. The cities have had to either halt or restrict AirBnb’s as a result.
However, Blue Ridge is an established vacation getaway city and their economy is cemented in tourism, so AirBnb’s fits seamlessly here. This means that there is significantly less risk that AirBnb’s would be restricted in Blue Ridge, as their entire economy is based on it, giving you peace of mind that your investment would be protected.
