Family-Owned Cabin Rentals in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

DJM Properties grew from family roots, mountain heritage and a deep love for the Great Smoky Mountains.

David’s family moved to Gatlinburg in 1990, when his parents opened a retail store downtown and planted lasting roots in the community. During those years, David’s father, George, purchased the land that would one day become George’s Haven, a cabin built in his honor and inspired by his legacy.

David met Jenny at the University of Tennessee. After eight years in Nashville building careers and raising a young family, they felt called home to East Tennessee, closer to family and the mountains they both love. David grew up in Gatlinburg and Jenny comes from Bristol. Today they live in Knoxville with their three children.

In 2026, they launched DJM Properties to create elevated, experience-driven stays in the Smokies. Their two flagship cabins reflect both heritage and heart: George’s Haven honors David’s father and the land that started it all, and Irish Roots celebrates David and Jenny’s shared heritage and their commitment to family tradition.

Every detail is designed around comfort, wellness and gathering, from private hot tubs and saunas to spaces made for connection and celebration.
