Unique historic hotel, located in the mtns, proven clientell

So you ve been thinking about a little place in the country where you can live on site, make your own decisions and do it your way ? Here s a truly unique opportunity in a breathtakingly beautiful location. In historic Centennial, Wyoming, on the edge of one of North America s most attractive and varied outdoor playgrounds you ll find the Mountain View Historic Hotel (recently added to the National Register of Historic Places). Built in 1907 during the optimism and excitement of Centennial s gold and platinum mining era, the Mountain View has fed and sheltered miners, travelers, speculators and dreamers for more than a century. In its latest form, the hotel and caf play host---year-around---to skiers, hikers, fishermen, snowmobilers and other outdoor enthusiasts of every age and interest. On scenic Highway 130 at 8,200 feet just 28 miles west of Laramie, Wyoming, the hamlet of Centennial is gateway to some of the most awe-inspiring high-country adventures in the western states. Fully-restored and updated, the 6,800-square-foot hotel offers cozy suites and single rooms (each with bath, hand-peeled log beds, VCR and direct tv) plus a small, full-service kitchen, two dining rooms, a manger/onwers apt, an outdoor dining area with firepit and a sheltering wrap-around deck. A 3rd floor that can be finished. A proven, loyal clientell, turnkey active business. This property has proven cash flow and is 95% booked ahead (with 75% coming from internet customers).

Facilities: Fully restored 3 story historic building,resotred in 2001; Listed on the National Historic register with no restrictions, 2 storage outbuildings, parking, all Furnishings, fixtures, equiptment, full espresso bar, full commercial kitchen, laundry facility, outdoor firepit, wicker furniture, patio furniture, signs included.

Competition: The Mountain View has established a unique market niche with customers that desire a healthier, relaxing, cozy mtn envirnment. It has a growing draw as a nantional historic building and appeals to folks that love history. It has become a major tourist destination, also the only restaurant place for locals to meet that is not a bar setting.

Growth/Expansion: The business has the potential to grow into a fine dining establishment; also the 3rd floor would make a wonderful apt, and allow for 1 more suite, and 1 more room for nightly rental. It would also make a wonderful Bed and Breakfast. A place above all the others around the area.

Financing: Owner will finance with 40% down.

Support/Training: 2 weeks support training, mailing list of clients, longer phone support with pertinent questions.

Reason Selling: I am selling to be able to retire with my husband and do some traveling.
