It already works. You are buying an operation, not a project.
Both sides have run as short-term rentals under our Slaughter Pen Stays brand since 2022. The spring and fall calendar fills with mountain bikers in from out of state, because a rider can roll out of the garage and onto one of the most popular trail systems in Arkansas without loading the car. Throughout the year, the calendar fills with Walmart vendor and contractor crews who want a real kitchen for a two-week stay. Average stays run eight to thirteen nights, which keeps turnovers and cleaning costs down.
Each side books independently, so a buyer can keep both running, live in one and let the other cover the note, or lease them long-term. A 2024 storm claim renewed a large share of the building, including the roof. The furnishings, linens, and guest setup in both units are available by separate purchase, so the listings can keep running from the day you close. There's even an option for us to keep running them for you if you don't want the hassle.
