Easily maintained and close to so many popular upstate attractions, this cute little cabin makes for the perfect Catskills escape.

Renovated in a rustic-minimalist style, the pine plywood interior walls and ceiling give the 1918 home such a distinctive and cozy feel.

@Germán Rimoldi I am not familiar with either market but to me, it seems the one in NC has more opportunities and appeal with being closer to Lake Nantahala. The 11 acres could allow for multi more cabins or amenities. The 1918 plywood interior screams outdated and I imagine would require some cap-ex. Double-digit returns are good
