Rocky Top Vacation Rentals

This is a rare turnkey investment opportunity in Lake City, one of Colorado’s most beautiful mountain towns with reservations on the books for 2025! Rocky Top Vacation Home Rentals is comprised of three well-manicured parcels totaling 1.644 acres and four log cabin units in immaculate condition with great year-round rental income history (short and long term) and plenty of clients that come back year after year! Conveniently located just outside of town so no STR permit is required, right off Hwy 149 with signage for excellent exposure and access, but still accessible via backroads for UTVS and ATVS and right across the highway from the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River. Many recent improvements have been made to the cabins and landscaping! The main parcel offers lawns with automatic sprinklers, a green house, animal house/pen, shed, and equipment storage barn. The options are endless with this property; it could be kept as a residence and rental business, the residence could be converted into an additional rental for more income, it could be converted into a family vacation compound, or even possibly a wedding venue!

This business opportunity is a natural fit for the Lake City area as its fourteeners and public lands attract a host of hikers, bikers, fishermen, hunters, campers, ice climbers, 4x4 off-roading, and other outdoor enthusiasts! Lake City is rich in history and home to the largest natural lake in Colorado, Lake San Cristobol.
