About This Home
Escape to the sound of the McKenzie River and the kind of getaway guests search for and return to. This privately owned historic log cabin, originally built by the U.S. Forest Service, offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive SHORT-TERM RENTAL in one of Oregon’s most sought-after recreation corridors. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its rustic charm, the cabin features two bedrooms, one full bath, and a versatile loft—comfortably accommodating up to eight guests. Original hardwood floors, a high-end CERTIFIED WOOD STOVE with soapstone surround, and gathering spaces create the authentic cabin experience today’s travelers are seeking. A window A/C unit provides seasonal comfort. What truly sets this property apart is the guest experience—just steps across a quiet private road to a riverside deck overlooking the McKenzie River. Morning coffee with the sound of rushing water, evenings watching rafts, wooden drift boats and kayaks float by. The McKenzie River Trail is just ¼ mile nearby to make this a highly desirable destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Currently operating as a short-term rental and family retreat, this property is well-positioned for continued guest use and income potential. Located outside the flood zone, with NO HOA and furnishings negotiable. Easy access to river launches, hiking, biking, fishing, hot springs, and year-round recreation. Ideal for an owner-operator or investor seeking a UNIQUE STR ASSET with strong appeal in a high-demand destination. Buyer to perform due diligence regarding STR use.
