Elliott Caldwell

It all started in March of 2021 when Kylie and I purchased our first short-term rental in the mountains above Asheville, North Carolina. Our objective was to gain financial freedom and at the same time deliver a premium guest experience for visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains.

We fell quickly in love with welcoming guests to our home and began acquiring and self-managing more properties. We had experimented with using property management companies but we found that their only interest was earning a quick buck and they put minimum effort into the guest experience.

In an effort to grow and learn from the best, we approached Michael and Jill Elefante who were already making great tracks in the short-term rental space. We immediately realized that we shared a vision and together, we founded Home Team Vacation Rentals!
