If you aren't a dog fan, you may want to stop reading here.  My wife Karen says that I would sooner part with her than with my dog Jake and that simply isn't true, but he is VERY special.  I could bore you to death with how wonderful Jake is but I won't today - Maybe in a different post.  What is frustrating for pet lovers like myself is that many communities and lodging options are restricted and simply don't allow man's best friend to be present.  This is particularly true of Gatlinburg area condo communities that often tend to be anti-dog (and even anti-pet for that matter).  I recently did find a great dog friendly condominium community at "The Woodlands" in Gatlinburg.  They allow dogs and don't even have a size restriction!  There are currently three Woodlands units listed for sale by area realtors .  Now for the really good news - We have the only foreclosure condo unit listed there .  If you know of other area condo developme

Large residences and condos have some of the worst stats according to the Great Smoky Mountain Association of Realtors MLS database.

Additionally, there are also a good number of foreclosures coming onto the market (I myself have two new condo foreclosure units that will be priced within the next 30 days or so).
