We are a family of three from Mandeville, Louisiana. I'm an electrical engineer, and my wife—now retired—handles customer service for our vacation rental business while I’m at work. Although we live remotely, we rely on a trusted local team to care for our properties with expert maintenance and cleaning.
Our love for Sevierville began during Thanksgiving week in 2013, when we stayed in a cabin and experienced a magical snowy getaway. Our daughter, then nine, was thrilled by snowball fights and building snowmen—a rare treat for a New Orleans native. That unforgettable trip sparked a dream that came true in August 2014 when we purchased our first cabin.
Since then, our passion for hosting has grown. Today, we’re proud to own six cozy cabins in the Smoky Mountains and a beachside condo in Fort Walton Beach. Some of our favorite local spots include the Applebarn, Mama’s Farmhouse, the Old Mill Restaurant, and Cades Cove. And if you're visiting during the holidays, don’t miss the spectacular Christmas shows at Dollywood—they're truly magical.
If you’re dreaming of a beach escape, we welcome you to explore our Fort Walton Beach condo through MCV Vacations. We’re always happy to offer recommendations and help create lasting memories—just like the ones we’ve cherished with our own family.
