Eva is co-owner and CEO of Smoky Mountain Vistas, a family run provider of cabin stays that are as magical as they are unforgettable. Her journey is a tale woven with the threads of adventure and a passion for embracing an unparalleled love for life. Born and raised in Canada, she embarked on a global odyssey, living in eight different countries and traversing over fifty. It is safe to say that Eva’s footsteps have left an indelible mark on how she envisions the experiences of her guests. With almost two decades of combined work in international education, travel planning and entrepreneurship, it was amidst her global sojourns that Eva discovered a unique passion for the world of short-term rentals. Having personally lived a life sampling temporary abodes on no fewer than five continents, she transformed that experience into expertise. Eva became an aficionado in crafting stays that transcend mere accommodation, curating experiences that linger in the hearts of her guests long after they've packed their bags. Whether it's the choice of furnishings, the ambiance of the space, or the personalized touches that greet guests, Smoky Mountain Vistas' cabins stand as a testament to Eva's.
