A Property With Potential
The cabin is a work-in-progress property with opportunities for improvement and personalization. It is being offered as a residential rental rather than as a finished, turnkey luxury property.
I'm looking for a responsible tenant who appreciates the character of a mountain cabin and understands that the property has some projects and improvements that are still being addressed will I work with them.
If you are someone who enjoys mountain properties and has an eye for improvements, I'd be happy to hear your observations and suggestions regarding the property. Any work or improvements would need to be discussed and approved by the owner in advance and would not be an expectation or requirement of the tenancy.
