About the host
Hosted by Laurie Sheinkopf
When I first walked into this condo, it was a disaster — but I saw exactly what it could be. It had something most units in the building don't: the potential for one of the only full kitchens in the complex, and the rare gift of being on the ground floor with parking right at the door. What passed for a kitchen was just a sink, a microwave, and some cabinets. So I built one from scratch. I designed the layout myself, had the cabinets custom built, added a coffee bar, and created a bathroom vanity that felt more spa than condo. Every inch was gutted and reimagined with romance in mind — because couples who come to the Smokies to reconnect deserve a space that was designed specifically for them. Soft lighting, a crackling fireplace, a spa-style shower, luxury bedding, and a kitchen actually worth cooking in. This wasn't just a renovation. It was a transformation with a purpose.
Why they chose this property
I bought this condo because I saw potential no one else did. It was rough — the 'kitchen' was a sink, a microwave, and bare cabinets. But it had the bones: ground floor access, parking at the door, and space to become something truly special. I designed and had the cabinets custom built, created the coffee bar, and built out the bathroom vanity from scratch. I purchased it specifically to create a romantic retreat, because so many couples come to the Smokies to reconnect and there just aren't enough spaces designed with that intention.
