Ely and I moved to Tennessee in 2020 to realize our dream of building a fantasy house resort in the Smoky Mountains. Over the last few years, we've achieved that dream by creating Mountain Shire, a property-inspired by your favorite books and movies in the Pigeon Forge-Gatlinburg area. We have 11 fantasy houses available and ready for guests to enjoy...more are on the way! Follow our builds on TikTok @FantasyHouseMaker
