We hope these resources might be of help to you as you begin your search to buy a cabin. Cabins may be plentiful, but working with a professional agent who knows the business is highly recommended. You will want to know the return the cabin has provided in past years. You may want to know ideas and resources that tend to assure better occupancy of your rental property. Do you plan to manage the cabin yourself using Airbnb or VRBO? Maybe it is a great idea to consider a cabin company that specializes in managing your STR.
We have several cabin companies we can highly recommend for cabin management. Any one of these companies can be counted on for professional excellence and have people we know personally and have worked with for many years. We have seen the type of return their cabins bring for the cabin owners, along with the pride they take in running their businesses.
