At Stay For The Adventure Vacation Homes, we believe the best getaways are built on unforgettable experiences, breathtaking scenery, and moments that bring people closer together. That’s why we offer thoughtfully curated vacation homes in both the Smoky Mountains and Gulf Shores — giving guests the perfect place to unwind after a day filled with adventure.

Whether you're exploring scenic mountain trails, enjoying family attractions along the Parkway, or relaxing beside the sugar-white beaches of the Gulf Coast, our homes are designed to help you feel both comfortable and connected to the destination. Our Smoky Mountain cabins offer upgraded interiors and peaceful locations just minutes from the area’s top attractions, while our spacious beach home in the beloved Morgantown community features private beach access, two pools, and the room to truly spread out and relax.

Meet Your Hosts

In 2021, my wife Jill and I purchased our first vacation home in the Smoky Mountains. We fell in love with the adventure, beauty, and peacefulness of the mountains — and wanted to share that experience with others. Before long, the adventure grew into a second Smoky Mountain property and eventually a beach home in Gulf Shores as well.

Since then, we’ve had the privilege of hosting hundreds of guests from all over the country and are incredibly grateful to have maintained an average guest rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars across our homes. Their stories about family vacations years in the making, anniversaries celebrated, kids seeing the mountains or ocean for the first time, and other special moments mean the world to us.

Our homes are designed to be the launching pads for your next great adventure — whether that means hiking through the Smokies, exploring local attractions, relaxing by the beach, or simply enjoying quality time together.

We would be honored and thrilled to host you and your family during your next adventure.
