I've toured the home and it is impeccable!

Without taking a proper tour of the cabin and only driving by and seeing pictures of the inside.

I have just started looking at properties and the first SFH we toured had just had the furnace and water heater stolen! 

Video tour?

I have heard of cabin / mountain market STR operators doing some kind of hiking package, or way to connect a guest to a private tour guide for an "upcharge" which gives the hike tour guide an income and the STR operator a nice upcharge too. 

Many European cities have existed far-far longer than the USA has even existed.

8) Is there a 3-D Tour or floor plan layout?

3) Why isn't there a 3-D Tour?

It was great to get our heads in the game, and got us to move quicker to get a house (since we were basically forced to get a pre-approved loan in order to tour houses...).

@Jonathan Greene I'm not sure what you mean by "most will not cash flow as an out-of-country investor" as it might suggest that the cash-flow of a given property has something to do with the nationality or residence of the owner but, in any case, you're absolutely correct that, historically, the net rental yields of LTRs in US cash-flow markets like the Mid-West have been typically higher than in the average European market, although that wouldn't be the case for many other US markets like California or New York.
