Marketing description
Dreamers Lodge is a well-maintained 25-room motel located at 144 N Canyon Boulevard in John Day, Oregon. Positioned along Highway 26 in the commercial center of Grant County, the property serves a diverse mix of leisure travelers, outdoor recreation visitors, contractors, government employees, healthcare-related travelers, and regional business guests.
The offering includes the real estate, operating business, furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E), two extended-stay kitchen suite units, and a 2-bedroom / 1-bath owner-manager residence located behind the front desk. This unique live/work configuration creates an attractive opportunity for owner-operators seeking strong cash flow and operational efficiency.
Ownership has completed ongoing maintenance and capital improvements, including significant electrical upgrades, helping maintain the property's reputation for cleanliness, value, and customer service. Historical operating performance has produced an average going-in cap rate of approximately 16.6% based on recent ownership-reported NOI.
John Day serves as the economic, healthcare, government, and tourism hub of Eastern Oregon's Grant County. Demand is supported by year-round outdoor recreation, hunting, fishing, cycling, public lands, healthcare services, government activity, wildfire response operations, and regional contractor travel. Limited lodging supply and barriers to new hotel development further support the long-term value of existing hospitality assets within the market.
Dreamers Lodge represents a rare opportunity to acquire an established hospitality business with immediate cash flow, attractive financing options, and meaningful upside through revenue management, direct booking growth, and targeted room modernization.
Offered at $1,999,000. Additional financial information and supporting documentation are available to qualified buyers upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.
