Description
Welcome to Deer Forest Lodge! This gorgeous white cedar cabin was built in 2013 and has been run as a successful vacation rental for many years! This is the PERFECT investment opportunity to purchase a fully furnished, TURN-KEY short term rental that is only a 1/4 of a mile from the Shenandoah River. This property was BUILT TO LAST with a lifetime metal roof, reinforced concrete foundation and wraparound porch, extra insulation and commercial grade laminate flooring throughout. The 4 bed, 2.5 bath home has a primary suite on the first floor and a huge finished basement with tons of additional living space and full utility room with washer/dryer. The large kitchen features new appliances, large cabinets filled with everything your renters need, and is open to both the dining and living room and the gorgeous tongue and groove Pine walls. The wraparound deck hosts gorgeous views of the mountains, but there's also a concrete patio below with easy access from the basement to the hot tub area, picnic tables, firepit and 2nd driveway as well. The Deer Forest Lodge as everything you need to start making money immediately or to have the ultimate secondary residence ready to meet all of your needs! No HOA. 2 hours from DC and NOVA.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLuray High School is mediocre at best. The administration runs the school like a prison and micro manages teachers and students to death. There is very little emphasis on good instruction and special education is a complete joke at this school.Parent Review1y ago - Springfield Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLove Springfield! All of the staff are wonderful-from the administration to the teachers and the classroom aides and the other support staff. Class size is small, the staff know the kids by name through out the school and it has a true community feel. But they also offer a great basis of STEM and technology to keep the kids current with other larger schools. My child has attended for five years and we are out of district so no bus, but you make it work to attend a gem like this!Parent Review10y ago - Luray Middle School
