Tucked away in the forest just east of Custer, this charming A-frame cabin is quickly becoming a favorite short-term rental (STR). In just 8 months of launching on AirBNB, this property has generated nearly $46,000 in income with an average nightly rental rate of $247 and booked 166 night with an average stay of 2.8 nights. With such a strong start, it's exciting to think about the potential for even greater returns in the years ahead. What makes this property even more unique, is its location. The neighboring property is planning to launch an outdoor event venue for concerts, weddings, and reunions, making this the closest rental in the area and will benefit from increased demand. Situated on 10 acres & surrounded by USFS land on three sides, the property also offers potential for expansion, with space for RV sites, additional cabins, and tent camping. The sellers have already made several upgrades to the cozy A-frame including new luxury vinyl flooring on the main level, a bathroom renovation, a new back deck, updated kitchen appliances (sink, refrigerator, gas range), a wood-burning stove, and a new chimney liner in the living room. Additionally, a propane forced-air furnace has just been installed, allowing the cabin to be rented year-round a significant advantage, as only 14% of Custer s short-term rentals stay open during the winter months. Can't you envision the peaceful sight of snow falling outside those big windows and the cozy, serene moment with loved ones?
