The Otter Creek Inn bed and breakfast – located just off of U.S. Highway 12 at 2536 Hansen Lane, Altoona – is up for sale after more than 35 years of business. The near-7,000-square-foot B&B sits on an acre of land, and comes with a price tag of $949,900.

Listed by HSC Brokers, the classic English Tudor-style inn features six guest rooms, each fitted with a private bathroom, gas fireplace, and jacuzzi tub, as well as an additional private owner/staff quarters space which includes two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a living space. The inn was updated in 2018 and 2020 with a new roof, insulation, appliances and hot water heater, and mattresses.

Its 1.02-acre lot encompasses a courtyard with a gazebo under towering trees paired with well-groomed landscaping. The property also features a heated 12-plus car garage, two-car maintenance garage, and about 16 spaces for guest and employee parking. 

All of the furniture, fixtures, and equipment are listed as worth $75,000 and are included in the asking price. An additional $5,000 worth of inventory is available too, not included in the asking price.

The Otter Creek Inn pulls a gross revenue of $220,000 and cash flow of $100,000, according to the listing. It is being sold turnkey – ready for immediate business or use – with the opportunity to be trained in. The B&B boasts a near-perfect rating across Expedia, TripAdvisor, Yelp, and other travel sites, and with a newer website with a built-in booking system, the inn could be perfect for someone looking to break into the biz.
