Gatlinburg Rental Agency Closes Unexpectedly

A cabin rental agency in the Smoky Mountains foothills has closed its doors amid squabbling by owners and managers.

Jim Gass, an attorney for Hickory Mist Luxury Cabin Rentals, told The Mountain Press that company employees have been trying to notify customers about the closing.

According to the paper, the owners and managers are in litigation over company expenditures for personal expenses. The paper reported that another issue is whether customers of the agency have been contacted deceptively to harm some of the parties involved.

Cabin rentals are popular in the Smoky Mountains area, where 9.4 million people visit annually.
