Serious Inquiries Only - Blackburn Cabins in McCarthy, Alaska

Blackburn Cabins is being offered For Sale!

Profitable Rental Business in McCarthy, Alaska!

McCarthy/Kennicott is in the center of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, a premier tourist destination! The entire area is off grid, with no utilities. Because of its location inside the Park, there is very little private land available for development. There are also no taxes or building codes! Our very small area sees thousands of visitors every year over a 100 day season. We’re pretty new but we stay over 90% full on average during that season with very low overhead! Periodically we host TV crews! There is a lot of unmet potential out here!

This turnkey operation situated on 2.2 acres has 8, 12×16 cabins built in 3 waves (2/2015, 3/2016, 3/2019) of locally sourced 6×8, 3-sided logs on pressure treated wood foundations and metal roofs. They’re built in the tradition of the remnants of the historic townsite of Blackburn upon which the cabins are built!

Each cabin is equipped with:

Memory foam mattresses and deluxe bedding
Lights and USB charging
Propane heater
Propane cooktop
Sink with running water
Berkey drinking water filtration system
Outfitted with antique dishes and furniture – over 50 years old, they are luxurious!

In the past we have held a CUA and permits for guiding trips out onto the Root Glacier or up to the mines! A successful business of its own!

We have a very strong web presence with a webpage and complete online booking system (www.BlackburnCabins.com). We have developed a web presence – Facebook, Instagram, Airbnb, Booking, Expedia, TripAdvisor, Google.

We have recently built a two-story Caretakers Cabin/Office (or it could be another, bigger rental!), which is included in the sale!

We are open to owner financing!

Come on out and take a look – we are sure there are more things we are forgetting!
