Our Vacations for YOU Legacy
Memorable Guest Experiences & Happy Homeowners
Family owned and professionally managed, Vacations for YOU was decades in the making — and now we’re here and ready to serve countless short-term rental guests and homeowners! From humble beginnings in a home basement to our thriving downtown corporate office today, we’ve come a long way.
As a parent company to a growing family of brands
We currently have 625+ vacation rentals of all shapes and sizes
— loaded with fun and relaxing amenities — across the Smokies of Tennessee, the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, the Emerald Coast of Florida, and the Gulf Coast of Alabama. And we look forward to expanding, making more memories together, and continuing our legacy for many years to come!
A Century of Family Inspiration
Where did it all begin? Let’s rewind to the early 1920s when the great-grandmother of the now Plimpton family (our steadfast CEOs) decided to rent out a few overnight homes on the East Coast. With the whole family pitching in, they were able to turn their mom-and-pop startup into a full-time business.
Fast forward to 2001 when the upcoming generation began Cabins for YOU in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee — our first official corporate company. Within a few decades, we grew from 8 properties and a handful of workers in 1 market to 625+ vacation rentals and 100s of employees across 3 markets.
Over a century later, this fifth-generation legacy lives on with Vacations for YOU — still family owned and operated to this day! As of January 2024, we parent several vacation rental brands in Tennessee, North Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. Along with our Senior Leadership Team, we have myriad loyal, hardworking employees who have helped bring this dream to reality.
