Nestled at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg presents a unique set of opportunities — and challenges — for custom home construction. From sloped mountain lots to strict scenic-view regulations, building here requires a team that understands the terrain as well as the craft. Olson Custom Homes has spent over 20 years designing and building homes across East Tennessee, including custom mountain retreats and cabin-style residences suited to Gatlinburg’s elevation, climate, and building codes.
