What do the Smoky Mountains rentals earn by locality?

The AirROI benchmark file behind this page holds localities for the Poconos only and has no entry for the Smoky Mountains, so no occupancy, daily rate or revenue figure is shown here. The Smoky Mountains owners comparing the 15 fee records above should ask each manager for locality level bookings instead, and see the Poconos benchmark table for what that read looks like once a market is in the file.
