What the Client Wanted
Hideout Hotels asked for an intimate guest experience that still kept the rustic charm of a cabin. They needed a commercial contractor who could deliver consistent quality across multiple units, control timelines, and protect the guest experience. Our team at East Tennessee Contractors built to those goals with durable finishes, clean details, and a layout that makes 450 sq ft live large.
Commercial Contractor Focs
As the commercial contractor, we balanced guest comfort with long-term operations. We chose materials that clean fast and wear well. Custom flooring stands up to rolling luggage and wet shoes. Tile in high-use areas handles moisture and regular turnover. Each cabin gets a signature look with wallpaper accents, while shared details—like tongue-and-groove ceilings—unify the brand.
Window walls bring in daylight and extend sightlines, so the small footprint feels open. At night, layered lighting shifts the mood from bright and functional to soft and calm. We placed switches and outlets where guests expect them, which cuts down on support calls and keeps reviews positive.
Space Planning that Feels Bigger than 450 SQFT
Square footage matters, but layout matters more. We set the living room at the front to create an immediate welcome. The kitchenette lines one wall with full-height storage, so guests can unpack groceries without losing counter space. The bedroom tucks behind the living area for privacy and quiet sleep.
In the bathroom, we went with a full tile shower and spa features that punch above the cabin’s size. The private deck expands daily living. Guests can soak in the hot tub, sit under the stars, and step back inside without tracking water through the cabin.
Brandable Details for Hospitality Success
Hideout Hotels wanted each cabin to feel unique while staying on brand. We delivered that with custom tile patterns and a distinct wallpaper accent for every unit. The tongue-and-groove ceilings and window walls keep the visual language consistent. Owners can refresh bedding, art, and outdoor seating over time while the core look stays timeless.
We also built for easy turnover. Durable finishes reduce repair calls. Clear zones for luggage, coats, and wet towels keep clutter down. Housekeeping can reset fast between bookings, which protects revenue in peak seasons.
