Description
Turn-Key Vacation Rental Opportunity! This property was previously operated as a successful Alaska vacation rental and offers an excellent opportunity for a new owner to revive an established short-term rental business. While the vacation rental is no longer in operation, it can be quickly put back into service. The sellers previously spent their summers utilizing the recreation cabin and travel trailer while leasing the log home and all its comforts to Airbnb guests. For buyers interested in continuing the business, the established Kenai Wildlife Cabin Facebook page can be transferred to the new owners, providing an existing online presence and marketing platform. Set on 1.72 private acres with unobstructed views of the Kenai Mountain Range, the property is anchored by a beautifully crafted 1,228 SF log home featuring 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Warm wood finishes, rustic charm, and stunning mountain views create the authentic Alaska experience travelers seek. Guests can enjoy a spacious multi-level deck designed for gathering and relaxation, complete with a built-in fire pit and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains--an ideal setting for memorable Alaska evenings. The property also includes a detached 640 SF recreation cabin with an attached carport, ¾ bath, and laundry facilities. This versatile space offers excellent flexibility for owner occupancy, guest accommodations, extended family, or potential expansion of the rental operation. Additional improvements include a travel trailer that sleeps four, a greenhouse, established garden area, and a beautifully landscaped yard. With no covenants or restrictions, the property offers exceptional flexibility for continued vacation rental use, recreational enjoyment, multi-generational living, or year-round residency. Whether you're looking to reestablish a successful vacation rental business or simply enjoy a beautiful Alaska retreat with income potential, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, views, flexibility, and proven rental history.
