I’m not sure how to answer your question. I love the property. I have a vision in my mind of how it could not only be a profitable and fun to run year-round business but also a great charitable partner to the community through retreats for pre-adoptive families (international adoption camps) and confidence building get aways for children in the foster care system. As a matter of fact, unbeknownst to me, I did a prospectus for this property in graduate school.

Unfortunately, my husband and I find ourselves in a position where our life savings have been eradicated by the collapse of the real estate market and obtaining financing for this business through traditional sources is completely out of the question. If there are non-typical options available such as owner-financing, etc. I’d be more than willing to discuss this further.

Owning and operating the National Forest Lodge would be a dream come true, but based on our current position, I doubt we can make it a reality. I’m open to suggestion if you have any.

Best,
