Property Description
PROVEN ACTIVE SHORT-TERM RENTAL( w/ 300+ 5-Star reviews) OFFERED TURNKEY ON 5 PRIVATE ACRESThis log home is perfect as a full-time primary residence, private second-home retreat, or STR (approved by Warren County)! Enjoy well over $40k in improvements since 2023! Own a Shenandoah retreat you can enjoy personally while having the option to continue its established vacation-rental history. Set on approximately 5 incredibly private wooded acres, this custom log home combines the character buyers dream about with significant recent improvements, abundant outdoor living space & convenient access to Front Royal, I-66, I-81, Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park. Originally built in 1981 with a substantial main-level addition completed in 2012, the home showcases true log-home character with post-and-beam construction, dovetail joints, chinking, exposed log walls, wood ceilings, hardwood floors, vaulted rooms & beautiful beamed ceilings. The open kitchen, dining and living area creates an inviting gathering space, while the main-level primary bedroom and laundry make one-level living possible. Additional features include pocket doors, a cozy upper reading nook, abundant storage and built-in cubbies, radiant floor heat in the lower-level addition & an enclosed/screened porch off the primary bedroom. Outdoor living is one of the property's greatest highlights. Relax on the 24x12 covered porch, gather around the custom fire-pit area, or enjoy peaceful evenings beneath incredible stars with wildlife frequently passing through the property. The mostly level yard offers room to enjoy the acreage, mature landscaping & fig tree that has produced approximately 30 pounds of figs annually. Potential mountain views may also be possible if certain trees are removed.Horses are allowed! The property has benefited from substantial recent investment. Improvements include approximately $16,000 in well-system upgrades completed in 2026, including a new well pump, well pressure tank, iron filter & Pump Saver. Also in 2026, the deck was refinished and stained, & portions of the eaves & siding were replaced & stained, representing approximately $10,000 in additional exterior improvements. In 2022, HVAC was added to the upstairs bedrooms, the water heater was replaced & the septic system was pumped. The fire-pit gathering area was added in 2023 & the kitchen was fully remodeled in 2020. A detached two-car garage (used currently for storage w/ storage room w/ electricity updated in 2023), a 2021 paved driveway and generous parking make the property especially practical for owners & guests. The home is currently operating as an established Airbnb/Vrbo with an impressive historical 4.98-star Airbnb rating & approximately 300 five-star reviews. Historical gross rental revenue has been impressive annually despite owner-blocked dates & periods when the property was not available for rent.
