Discover a rare opportunity to own an established riverfront lodging business in the heart of Cooper Landing, one of Alaska's premier recreation destinations. More than just a beautiful property, Cooper Landing Lodge offers a proven hospitality operation with multiple income streams, a loyal guest base, and significant recent capital improvements. The property features two successful vacation,,, rental cabins and a long-term rental apartment, providing diversified income and an average annual gross revenue of approximately $74,785 over the past five years. With peak summer occupancy between 70% and 90%, an established direct booking platform, and a history of repeat guests, the foundation is already in place for continued success. Over $255,000 has been invested in thoughtful upgrades and infrastructure, including extensive renovations to both cabins, new roofs, commercial-grade FLO EV charging stations, private river access improvements, professional riverbank restoration, and extensive landscaping. These investments enhance both the guest experience and long-term value while minimizing future capital expenses. Brown Bear Cabin has been extensively updated with a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring a spacious walk-in shower, a custom fossilized wood sink, an additional half bath, updated finishes, and a new roof. Black Bear Cabin has been thoughtfully redesigned with an expanded bedroom, improved kitchen layout with dishwasher, enhanced bathroom privacy, a private river dock, and a new roof, creating a comfortable and inviting retreat for guests. Located along the world-famous Kenai River, guests enjoy easy access to world-class fishing, hiking, rafting, wildlife viewing, and countless outdoor adventures that draw visitors from around the world each year. For buyers looking to expand the business, opportunities exist to increase shoulder-season and winter occupancy, develop fishing and recreation packages, expand direct bookings, and explore the potential for additional guest accommodations. Whether you're seeking a profitable investment, a lifestyle business, or your own Alaska retreat with established income, Cooper Landing Lodge offers an exceptional combination of location, proven performance, and future potential. Property is being sold as-is.
