About Casalta
Local by design
Casalta was founded by John Hamilton and Ben Trapani to do short-term rentals the way they should be done in the Smokies: a curated collection of exceptional homes, cared for end-to-end by one professional team, bookable directly without the big-platform layer.
For guests, that means the people who confirm your booking are the people who look after the home. For owners, it means an operator who manages for revenue and home value alike — one simple fee, and your numbers in real time.
Two sides, one team
Casalta Stays is our guest brand — the Collection and the direct booking platform. Casalta Management is our owner side — full-service management for homeowners across the greater Smoky Mountains.
