SERVING SEVIER COUNTY, TENNESSEE

Meticulous care for short term rentals in the Smoky Mountains.

Offering monthly 50-point inspections and quarterly 150-point inspections for short-term rental cabins in the Smoky Mountains. We catch what cleaners can't — before your guests do. Business licensed & Insured.

Who We Serve

A second set of eyes for owners, cleaners & managers.

The 5-Star Standard partners with individual cabin owners, cleaning companies, and rental management companies across the Smokies. Once per month or once every 3 months, we walk your property to surface the small things that quietly turn a five-star stay into a four-star review.

  • Dead-battery remotes & smoke detectors
  • Clogged drains and slow showers
  • Burnt bulbs, dusty fans, dirty HVAC filters
  • Squeaky doors, sticking locks, missing pieces

THE MONTHLY & QUARTERLY WALK-THROUGH

Cleaners are racing the clock between turnovers. We're not. Every 30 or 90 days we walk your cabin top-to-bottom and document the issues that erode reviews.

Monthly 50-Point Checklist and Quarterly 150-Point Checklist

Systematic, room-by-room. Mechanical, cosmetic, safety, and guest-experience items.

Photos

Documented evidence delivered after every visit so you can act fast.
