💰 The Investment Case
At approximately $228K in trailing gross revenue against a $1.3M purchase price, you're acquiring the property for roughly:
5.7x Trailing Gross Revenue
That's gross revenue—not cap rate—but it's a compelling top-line starting point for an established large-group vacation rental.
And there's significant evidence that guests already like the product: 4.98 stars across 100 Airbnb reviews, Guest Favorite status and Top 10% recognition.
Instead of buying a large cabin and then spending the next several years building reviews, operating systems and booking history, this property is being sold furnished and fully operational, with future bookings and systems already in place.
🎬 Built for Large Groups
With 7 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and sleeping capacity for 16+, this property can target the larger family and group trips that can be especially valuable for destination STRs.
But the bedroom count is only part of it.
The finished lower level gives guests a tiered home theater with leather recliners plus a dedicated game room with arcade cabinets.
Outside, there's a covered hot tub overlooking the woods, expansive deck with grilling and seating areas, a pergola-covered fire pit patio and private trails running through the acreage.
Inside, the vaulted great room brings the classic cabin experience with tongue-and-groove ceilings, a stone fireplace and plenty of dining and bar seating for big groups.
This isn't simply a place capable of sleeping 16+ people—it has the common spaces and amenities to actually entertain them.
🌲 8.8 Acres of Privacy
The property sits on approximately 8.8 private wooded acres, giving guests the secluded cabin experience many travelers are looking for when booking a Hocking Hills getaway.
Private trails run through the property, while the outdoor entertainment areas are integrated into the wooded setting.
It's also minutes from Lancaster and a short drive from the area's trails, providing a combination of privacy at the property and access to the outdoor attractions that drive tourism to the region.
♿ A Rare Accessibility Angle
There's another feature here that could meaningfully differentiate the property from competing large-group cabins.
The entire entry level is wheelchair accessible, including an accessibility ramp and large adapted bathroom.
That broadens the types of groups that can comfortably stay at the property and gives the STR a feature that's difficult to simply add to many existing mountain and cabin properties.
📊 The Investment Story
💰 $1.3M Purchase Price
💵 $228K Trailing Revenue
📊 ~17.5% Gross Revenue / Price
🏡 7 Bedrooms / 4.5 Bathrooms
👥 Sleeps 16+
⭐ 4.98 Stars Across 100 Reviews
🏆 Guest Favorite + Top 10% of Homes
🌲 8.8 Private Acres
♨️ Hot Tub
🎬 Theater + Arcade Room
🥾 Private Trails
The thesis: buy an established large-group Hocking Hills STR at roughly 5.7x trailing gross revenue, with $228K of demonstrated performance, exceptional guest reviews and the amenities already in place to compete for high-value group stays.
💸 Financing
With approximately $228K of trailing rental revenue and an established STR operating history, this could be worth evaluating with lenders that understand vacation-rental income.
Depending on the borrower, property and lender requirements, potential structures can include DSCR, conventional investment, portfolio and other STR-focused financing options.
If you're trying to determine what your down payment could look like, how the property's existing rental revenue may factor into qualification, or which loan structure makes the most sense for your situation, our STR lending partner can help walk you through the options.

🎯 Why This One Stands Out
💰 $228K Proven Trailing Revenue
At $1.3M, that's approximately a 17.5% gross revenue-to-price ratio.
⭐ 4.98 Stars + 100 Reviews
Guest Favorite and Top 10% recognition give the property an established reputation instead of requiring a buyer to start from zero.
👥 Sleeps 16+
Seven bedrooms and substantial common areas make it purpose-built for large-group travel.
🎬 Amenities That Keep Groups Entertained
Hot tub, tiered theater, arcade room, fire pit, expansive decks and private trails.
🌲 8.8 Private Acres
A substantial wooded setting creates the secluded cabin experience guests expect from the region.
♿ Wheelchair-Accessible Entry Level
A rare feature that can make the property viable for a broader range of groups.
⚡ Bottom Line
$1.3M. $228K Revenue. ~17.5% Gross Yield. 7 Bedrooms. 8.8 Acres. 4.98 Stars.
This is a property where the revenue and the guest experience are already established.
At roughly 5.7x trailing gross revenue, you're acquiring a 5,000+ square-foot large-group STR that generated approximately $228K over the last 12 months while earning a 4.98 Airbnb rating across 100 reviews.
Add in 16+ guest capacity, a hot tub, theater, arcade room, private trails, 8.8 wooded acres and future bookings, and this is much more than a big cabin hoping to become a successful STR.
It's already operating as one.
