🏔️ A Proven Mountain STR for Just $259K
Here's another lower-price-point STR with multiple years of actual rental history behind it.
This fully furnished West Virginia cabin reportedly generated:
$34,000 Over the Past Year
At the $259K asking price, that's approximately a:
13.1% Gross Revenue-to-Price Ratio
Even better, this isn't based on a single year—the property has reportedly generated approximately $152,000 over the past four years as a vacation rental.
You also get the mountain-cabin amenities guests actually search for: a hot tub, wood stove, screened-in porch, fire pit, wooded setting and private community access to the Cacapon River.
All just about 20 minutes from Berkeley Springs.

💰 The Investment Case
The numbers are fairly straightforward here.
At $259K, the property has reportedly generated approximately $34K over the past year, putting the purchase price at roughly 7.6x trailing rental revenue.
That's approximately a 13.1% gross revenue-to-price ratio.
It's not a cap rate—operating expenses still need to be considered—but buyers aren't relying solely on a forecast to establish demand.
The property has reportedly generated $152K over four years, which works out to an average of approximately $38K per year over that period.
That longer operating history gives investors something particularly useful: several years of actual financials to analyze before buying.
🔑 The Existing STR Operation Can Potentially Stay in Place
For a remote investor, this may be one of the more useful pieces of the deal.
The property can reportedly convey with its existing property manager and cleaner, giving the next owner the option to maintain the team already familiar with the cabin.
The seller is also offering a:
$1,000 Buyer Credit
if the buyer continues using the current property manager.
Detailed rental history and financials are also available from the seller, allowing buyers to dig into expenses and historical performance before underwriting the investment.
🌲 A Cabin That's Actually Designed Like a Vacation Rental
At 864 square feet, this isn't a massive property—and it doesn't need to be.
The cabin has been professionally designed with modern furniture and decor while retaining the features guests want from a mountain escape.
Inside, there's an open floor plan, wood-plank ceilings and a wood stove, giving the property genuine cabin character.
There's also a large screened-in porch, creating additional usable space without increasing the home's footprint.
And unlike some remote cabins where connectivity becomes a problem, this one has fast fiber internet and WiFi.
♨️ The Outdoor Experience Is Already Built
The exterior gives guests multiple reasons to spend time at the property itself.
There's a:
♨️ Brand-new hot tub
🔥 Fire pit
🌲 Wooded setting
🌿 Deck + screened porch
🏞️ Private community river access
The hot tub is excluded from the standard furnishings but is available for purchase separately, so a buyer who wants to preserve the existing guest experience can potentially keep it in place.
🛶 Private Access to the Cacapon River
Just about five minutes from the cabin, the community provides private access to the Cacapon River.
That opens up another set of guest activities, including:
kayaking, tubing and fishing.
And the cabin sits approximately 20 minutes from Berkeley Springs, giving guests access to restaurants, shops and the area's broader tourism draw while still returning to a secluded wooded setting.
That combination makes the location easy to market:
mountain cabin + river access + Berkeley Springs proximity.

💸 Financing
At a $259K acquisition price with approximately $34K in trailing rental revenue, this could be worth evaluating with lenders that understand vacation-rental properties and STR 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, whether the property's historical rental revenue can help it qualify, 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
💰 Four Years of Rental History
Approximately $152K of reported revenue over four years, including ~$34K over the past year.
🏷️ $259K Price Point
A relatively approachable acquisition basis for an established STR.
🌲 The Cabin Experience
Wood-plank ceilings, wood stove, screened porch, fire pit and wooded surroundings give guests the mountain getaway they're looking for.
🛶 Private River Access
Community access to the Cacapon River is only about five minutes away.
🔑 Existing Operating Team
The current property manager and cleaner can potentially continue after closing.
🛋️ Professionally Designed + Furnished
Much of the STR setup is already in place rather than requiring a new owner to start from scratch.
⚡ Bottom Line
$259K. $34K Trailing Revenue. ~13.1% Gross Yield. $152K Over 4 Years.
For an investor looking for a lower-cost entry into a proven mountain STR, this one has a compelling combination of price, operating history and guest amenities.
You're getting a professionally designed and furnished cabin with approximately $152K of reported revenue over four years, plus an existing property manager and cleaner who can potentially continue running the operation.
And despite the small footprint, the guest experience is strong: wooded surroundings, a screened porch, wood stove, fire pit, hot tub and private river access, all about 20 minutes from Berkeley Springs.
At $259K, that's a pretty straightforward STR investment story.
