This distinctive 4-unit property (zoned for up to 15 units) has been thoughtfully upgraded from top to bottom, offering a rare investment opportunity with style, comfort, and growth potential already built in. Each of the four guest suites has been individually designed and professionally furnished, with new custom paint, refinished bathroom tile, upgraded lighting and fixtures, and refreshed kitchenettes featuring new lighting and layout enhancements. The vaulted pine ceilings add rustic charm, while new 84" wrapped curtain rods and coordinated decor elevate the overall guest experience. Each unit also features its own screened-in porch with classic rocking chairs, inviting visitors to relax and take in the peaceful forest views. The two end units offer cozy fireplaces and king-sized beds for romantic getaways, while the two interior rooms feature double queen beds, perfect for families or groups. Additional property upgrades include fresh interior drywall repairs, stained trim and exposed beams, exterior painting, pressure-washed and stained decks, repaired sliding glass doors and gutters, extensive landscaping (including undergrowth clearing, mulching, and mowing), and the installation of a beautiful custom roadside business sign. Everything is in place for new owners to step in and start booking immediately. Set on 1.3 acres with frontage on scenic Highway 356, the property is zoned R3, allowing for up to 15 motel units, providing ample room to expand.
