Services to Fit Every Need...
If you'd like to elevate either the look and/or feel of your residence and/or vacation rental, we specialize in creating cozy, comfortable, profitable spaces that will transform your space into a most memorable experience.
As a Maggie Valley resident/real estate broker/investor/short- and long-term property owner, I had difficulty finding the kind of representation that my guests deserved. Rather than settle for what was available in the current Maggie Valley vacation rental market, I made it my mission to create a company that would exceed guests’ needs and expectations. This needs-based focus reduces the amount of unnecessary expenses imposed upon both homeowners and guests.
I spent months taking multiple courses to receive the certifications and licenses necessary to understand the comprehensive dynamics and intricacies behind the real estate market, especially the short-term rental market. I then built a strong team and got them certified to assist with the various aspects of the hospitality business. As a U.S. Army veteran married to a retired U.S. Army veteran, as well as the mother of two U.S. Army officers, reliability and follow-through are characteristics for which I am known.
Affectionately known as "The Cabin Fairy", I LOVE working with homes from the purchase/sale side, design, renovation, maintenance, and/or holiday decorating phase! If you'd like to chat to see how we can work together to create a memorable experience for your guests, while getting the rates you deserve, I'm available.

The Cabin Fairy is an absolute gem! Eve & Jim, the owners, recently redesigned and refreshed our short-term rental property in Bryson City, NC. We couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Eve & Jim were a dream to work with. They were incredibly communicative, always keeping us in the loop on progress and any decisions that needed to be made. Their follow-through was impeccable - everything they promised was delivered on time and to the highest standard.
Most importantly, Eve & Jim are incredibly trustworthy. We felt completely comfortable giving them the keys to our property and allowing them to work their magic. The results speak for themselves. They managed to maintain the unique character of our cabin while adding thoughtful, modern touches that truly elevated the space. We launched our property last week and have 5 bookings already! We can't recommend The Cabin Fairy highly enough!

Judy and I are enjoying the redesign of our cabin. We are so impressed with the thought that went into everything. Judy keeps pointing out things to me that she likes, like the personalized books on the mantel, the area rugs, and the fireplace transformation. We saw the "fairy lights" are on a timer. Nice touch. Thank you both for a job well done; but mostly, thank you for caring about how everything was done. We LOVE our home!

We did not even know where to start in terms of property management. Reaching out to The Cabin Fairy was the right decision for us. Eve made everything so smooth, and her talent for staging and knowledge of rentals is excellent. We expected a slow start, but quickly had back-to-back bookings the first month. Folks we can trust, sharing our home with others without any of the worry.

Eve & Jim were such an amazing find. I inherited a cabin from my grandparents that I wanted to turn into a short-term rental, and I was struggling to get the last couple of pieces in place. Within a month of first reaching out, Eve & Jim had everything ready and we hosted our first guest! I could not have gotten over the line without their help. I looking into Asheville-based property managers, but having someone down the street provides a level of service that just can't be beat. I can't recommend them enough!

From our first phone call to our first visit, we knew The Cabin Fairy was a great fit for us. As long-distance owners, we needed boots-on-the-ground management. Eve is knowledgeable on how to get more bookings and at the best pricing! The Cabin Fairy is a full-service management team and we are thankful they are watching over our vacation home.

We cannot thank Eve & Jim enough for their expertise and guidance in setting up our mountain cabin for short-term rental. Within hours of going live online, we had our first booking. We had a lot of questions when we started this adventure, but Eve & Jim were very patient with us and assured us everything would be handled. They are a fantastic team, and choosing The Cabin Fairy was the best decision we could have made.

We have been thrilled with what The Cabin Fairies have done with our property in the short period of time they have managed it. In a two-week period, they have exceeded our expectations in rental bookings. Beyond that, with a relatively low budget, they were able to update, upgrade and transform our home to a place I'm proud to bring my friends and family. We highly recommend Jim, Eve & team.

While searching for a "turnkey" property management company, fortunately we found "The Cabin Fairy"! Partnering with Eve & Jim was the very best decision we could have ever made! We now have peace of mind knowing every last detail is being taken care of for us. Eve & Jim guided us through the process of getting it rent ready, and within days, we were welcoming our first guests!
We can't say enough about how experienced, knowledgeable, and genuine they are as partners. If attention to detail, timely communication, and passion to go above and beyond are important to you, we highly recommend you check them out! We are so glad we did!

Eve has been my lifeline as I've established a short-term rental from afar. Her flair for design has made my functional space homey and welcoming, with fitting decor and lovely thoughtful touches that I would not have thought of myself. She is incredibly responsive and springs into action as soon as we have agreed on anything. I decided to buy several items, and they were selected and purchased within 24 hours. Guests message and she replies within minutes. From the very first time I spoke with her, I could sense her enthusiasm and friendliness. I knew she would be a perfect right-hand person for me and my property, and I was absolutely right about that.

We had "The Cabin Fairy" redesign our 17-year-old rental suite. It was in need of an overhaul and they did a phenomenal job! Jim is a super handyman, and Eve is a fantastic designer. Eve has studied the statistics, design principles and pricing strategies of vacation rentals and knows how to increase bookings. She helped us upload new photos of the suite, as well as update the captions. Our rental has a more open look, photo canvases of local scenery and wildlife, along with a coherent color scheme. They are a professional team and we would recommend them to anyone owning a rental unit of any kind. 5 stars!!!!

Eve & Jim at The Cabin Fairy have been an invaluable resource in helping us set up our rental property. They are friendly and easy to work with. Eve helped us with decor and staging, which maximized the presentation of the photos, and met with us as often as needed to discuss ideas and answer questions. Jim has lots of ideas on how to optimize our guest experience and is always ready to fix things up to the highest quality to make sure we get those five-star reviews! Their knowledge and expertise of the short-term rental market has been a powerful tool for us, and we can't recommend them enough!
