Welcome to FishTop Cabin, a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed mountain retreat on the Green River in Saluda. Currently operating as an active short-term rental, the property has bookings already on the calendar that are transferable to the new owner, subject to applicable management/platform requirements, providing an immediate opportunity to step into an established rental operation. The home has been exceptionally well cared for, with the single and original owners maintaining meticulous records and taking an uncommon level of pride in its condition. That same attention to detail is evident throughout the property, where thoughtful maintenance and careful stewardship have preserved its character, functionality, and appeal. The property has developed its own recognizable identity and guest experience through its distinctive branding, furnishings, artwork and thoughtful details throughout the home. Though it is being sold furnished, a separate FishTop Cabin branding package is available for purchase, offering a new owner the opportunity to continue the established identity and marketing presence. The package may include personal-use items currently incorporated into the guest experience, including select towels, wall art and other branded or decorative elements, as well as social media presence and other brand assets. Details of the branding package and included assets are available separately. For an investor, this is an opportunity to acquire a ready-to-operate vacation rental with an established history, existing bookings and a proven guest-facing identity. For someone looking for a private mountain escape, the property is equally compelling. With its inviting design, comfortable accommodations and established reputation as a destination for visitors, FishTop Cabin could easily transition from income-producing retreat to a personal getaway, or provide the flexibility to enjoy it yourself while continuing to generate rental income.
