Description

For more than 15 years, Woodland Cabins has been the place where couples have come to unwind and to enjoy the peace and beauty of Southern Illinois. This secluded short term vacation rental retreat is just 10 minutes south of Carbondale Illinois, minutes from nationally acclaimed Shawnee National Forest, 15 minutes from Giant City State Park, minutes from tourist favorite Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, and within 30 minutes to more than a half dozen fishing lakes located within the area. The 47-acre site has a 3-acre lake surrounded by 4 secluded, fully furnished cabins. Three of the cabins have a view of the lake and one is secluded in the woods with a private path and very short walk to the lake dock. For the comfort of the guests all cabins have a hot tub on their private deck, gas log fireplace, central heat & A/C, utilities, and satellite TV. In addition, the site has a 36 x 50 metal sided storage/maintenance building with 648sf of heated & air-conditioned space for inventory, laundry with washer & dryer, office/bunk space and 3/4 bath. The remaining 1, 152sf, is a heated space where site maintenance equipment is stored. For the outdoor enthusiast there is a butcher shop with electric hoist to lift and clean wildlife, a 7 x 7 walk in cooler, wildlife cleaning tables, and a double utility sink. The short-term vacation rental business is highly rated by guests as illustrated with Facebook and Trip Advisor reviews. All reservations are generated through their own website, no fees or commissions are paid to outside vendors. The current owner manages the reservations and all building & property maintenance activities. A fully trained house-keeping staff is present and will stay for the new owner. The current business model consistently produces high occupancy rates and is perfect for a part time owner. Future possible expansion ideas could include an additional 3-acre lake, more cabins, a family-style lodge, or even RV pads & camping sites to accommodate the large number of hunters and fisherman that visit the area. Other expansion possibilities include a space for a Wedding venue with lake views to accommodate the growing number of destination weddings. Reservation system, website, phone number and social media pages included in the sale. Signed non-disclosure agreement and proof of $350, 000 capital required to discuss business financials.
