This is a particularly interesting entry point for investors who want an operating vacation rental without a massive upfront purchase price.

πŸ“Š ~$30K in Annual Gross Rental Income β€” A 15% Revenue-to-Price Ratio

The investment story here starts with the property's reported rental performance.

According to the sellers, Timber Ridge Cabin generates approximately $30,000 in annual gross rental income.

Against the $199,500 asking price, that's approximately 15.0% in gross annual revenue relative to purchase price.

Put another way, the cabin is listed at approximately 6.7 times its reported annual gross rental income.

And because the asking price is below $200K, investors can evaluate a revenue-producing asset at a lower acquisition price than many larger vacation rentals.

An additional advantage is that this isn't being marketed as a blank-slate rental concept.

It's already operating as a vacation rental, and the sellers indicate that income history is available upon request.

That gives prospective buyers the opportunity to examine actual rental activity before making a decision.

Of course, the $30K figure is seller-reported and approximate. It represents gross incomeβ€”not cash flow, net operating income or a cap rate. Investors should verify the rental statements, occupancy, operating expenses and applicable rental rules.

Still, an existing vacation rental generating approximately $30K annually at a $199,500 asking price is a compelling starting point for further underwriting.

🌲 1.5 Private Acres, a Hot Tub + Yatesville Lake Recreation

The strongest feature of Timber Ridge Cabin may be how much of a vacation experience it delivers within just 820 square feet.

The cabin sits at the end of a private drive with no through traffic, creating a quiet atmosphere for guests who want to disconnect from the everyday.

Inside, the space offers warm wood walls, an open floor plan and a wood-burning stove that gives the cabin a welcoming, rustic feel.

But the outdoor amenities are where the guest experience really comes together.

Imagine finishing a day on the lake and coming back to a covered porch with a private hot tub, then gathering around the fire pit beneath the stars.

That combination of privacy, a hot tub and an outdoor fire pit gives guests meaningful ways to enjoy the property without even leaving the cabin.

And for travelers who want to explore, the location offers two nearby recreational draws:

🚀 Twin Branch Boat Ramp: Approximately one mile away, providing convenient access to Yatesville Lake.

πŸ₯Ύ Yatesville Wildlife Management Area: Approximately half a mile away, putting an outdoor recreation destination close to the cabin.

The proximity to lake recreation and natural surroundings helps support the property's appeal as a peaceful getaway.

There's also a practical operational benefit.

Smart mini-splits and smart door locks allow for remote climate-control and access management, potentially simplifying certain aspects of hosting.

And with the furnishings, decor, three smart TVs, grill and more included in the sale, the cabin comes with many of the essentials already in place.

For investors, the draw is the combination of affordable entry price, existing rental income, private acreage, guest amenities and a furnished operating setup.

⚑ Bottom Line

$199,500. ~$30K Annual Gross Rental Income. 15% Revenue-to-Price. 1.5 Acres. Hot Tub. Furnished Cabin.

This property offers something worth paying attention to: an operating vacation rental with reported income, privacy and guest-friendly amenities at a purchase price under $200K.

Timber Ridge Cabin combines a private hot tub, wooded acreage, a wood-burning stove and a fire pit with close proximity to lake and outdoor recreation.

And with furnishings and equipment conveying, a buyer may have fewer initial setup requirements than with an empty property.

The most important next step is reviewing the sellers' income history and operating expenses to understand what the cabin actually produces after costs, while confirming rental permissions and ongoing operating requirements.

For investors looking for a furnished, income-producing cabin with a relatively low purchase price and established vacation rental use, this Kentucky property deserves a closer look.
