About This Property

Blue Bear Cabin — Turnkey Airbnb Investment | Luray, Virginia <p> Yearly sales have performed as high as $100,000 in gross rental income and 291 nights booked — Blue Bear Cabin is a proven short-term rental performing at the top of its market. <p> Tucked into the Massanutten Forest Subdivision on a private, wooded 3-acre parcel just outside Luray, this A-frame cabin plus detached guesthouse offers the rare combination of strong financials and genuine mountain charm. All furnishings convey, making this a day-one income property with zero setup required. <p> The main cabin spans three levels. The main floor features soaring ceilings, an open eat-in kitchen, a remodeled full bathroom, a primary bedroom, and a generous sitting room. Upstairs, a loft holds two additional bedrooms with sweeping mountain views. The lower level adds a full bathroom, extra living space, a game room, and a bunk room — ideal for larger groups and the extended bookings that come with them. The detached guesthouse provides an additional bunk room and flexible space that could serve as an office, studio, or hobby room. <p> Outside, a brand-new $10,000 six-person hot tub anchors a private deck perfect for evening unwinding. A natural stream runs along the rear of the property, and the full three acres deliver the privacy and seclusion that today's vacation rental guests pay a premium for. <p> The owners have made significant investments in the property heading into 2025, with over $27,000 in recent capital improvements. All exterior windows were replaced in 2025 ($8,000), two new mini-split HVAC units were installed for year-round climate comfort ($9,000), and multiple exterior doors were replaced alongside a full refresh of the hot tub deck siding and stairs ($8,000). New concrete pathways replaced the existing pavers ($2,000), and both the front and back decks were freshly painted to match the exterior of the cabin. Inside, all televisions and furniture sets have been replaced with new, and the game room features arcade games (availability to be confirmed with sellers). <p> The property is equipped for seamless operation from day one. A Starlink satellite system ensures fast, reliable internet — essential for modern guests and remote workers — backed by a satellite dish. A $7,000 water treatment system, chest freezer, all televisions, and all furniture convey with the sale, leaving nothing for a new owner to source or install. <p> Location rounds out the investment case. Blue Bear sits minutes from Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, the George Washington National Forest, Massanutten Resort, and Kennedy's Peak — a year-round draw for hikers, mountain bikers, and weekend escapes from the D.C. metro corridor. <p> Whether you're an investor looking to expand your portfolio or a buyer who wants a personal retreat that pays for itself, Blue Bear Cabin is move-in and rent-ready.
