This cabin was wired for guests.
Most houses get wired for the people who live in them. This one was wired for the people who'll stay in it — planned before the drywall went up, back when doing it right was still cheap. Here's exactly what that means, so you know what you're getting.
What's in the walls
Wi-Fi that holds a full house
Access points wired into the ceiling where they belong — not plastic pucks in outlets fighting each other. Coverage planned for the loft, the deck and the hot tub, because that's where people actually sit.
Self check-in
A smart lock on the door. You set a code per guest, and it quits working when they leave. No lockbox, no key under the mat, no meeting a stranger at eleven at night.
Cameras at the outside doors
Recording to a box in the cabin. Your footage on your equipment — no monthly fee to see your own driveway, and nothing that stops working when a subscription lapses. Exterior only, and guests get told they're there. That's the platforms' rule and it's plain decency.
TVs mounted, cable hidden
Level, on the studs, wire in the wall instead of hanging down the stone. A box behind every future TV, too, for whatever gets added later.
One panel, labeled both ends
Every run comes home to a single structured panel instead of being daisy-chained around the house. Labeled at both ends, and smurf tube to the attic so the next decade is an easy pull.
You get the map
Photographs of every run taken before the drywall closed, plus a labeled diagram. When something needs adding in five years, whoever does it isn't guessing — and isn't charging you to guess.
The booking side
A direct-booking website for this cabin — $950, one time. Yours outright: the site, the domain, the artwork. I build it while the cabin is finishing, so it's live when you are.
Straight about what it is: it's the place guests find you directly instead of only through a platform. It is not a booking engine and it does not take a card. If you want that, there are tools for it and I'll point you at them.
Hosting runs $40/mo while I host it, first three months included — or $0 if you'd rather take the files and host it yourself. Either way the files are yours and the site keeps working.
What this isn't
Who did the work
Brody Norton — Seymour, Tennessee. I run Brody's Low-Voltage & Cabling, and I build the websites too, as Smoky Mountain Web Co. Both are mine — which is why the wire and the booking site can come from one call instead of two, and why there's one person to blame if either one's wrong.
