Top-Ranked Smoky Mountain Realtor & Airbnb Cabin Investor

Gatlinburg • Pigeon Forge • Sevierville

Natalie Walthour is a top-producing short term rental realtor and seasoned Airbnb cabin investor, consistently ranked among the top 10 real estate agents in the Smoky Mountains.

She began her journey in early 2020 as a client of The Short Term Shop, purchasing her first cash-flowing cabin in Gatlinburg. The success of that investment enabled her to leave a 13-year career as a teacher and transition into full-time real estate — with a mission to help others achieve the same freedom through short term rental investing.

Since then, Natalie has built a personal portfolio of Airbnb / vacation rental properties in the Smoky Mountains, Destin, Florida, and Orlando, and has helped over 200 clients buy and sell investment cabins with more than $150 million in closed volume.

As both an investor and a Smoky Mountain real estate agent, Natalie offers a uniquely informed perspective. She helps buyers confidently identify properties with strong short term rental potential — based on location, amenities, guest appeal, and real-world experience — so they can make smart, strategic purchase decisions.

Natalie’s clients value her integrity, expertise, and investor-first mindset. Whether you’re buying your first cabin or scaling your portfolio, she brings the insights and professionalism of a top Smoky Mountain realtor dedicated to long-term client success.
