At Merle Inc., we believe a home in the mountains should give you more than just a getaway. It should bring your family together, create lifelong memories, and give you the chance to earn extra income when you’re not there. Many of our clients choose to build custom vacation homes that work as both private retreats and profitable vacation rental investments.
A custom home is more than a dream cabin—it can also be a smart investment. By designing your home with both family comfort and guest appeal in mind, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: a cozy retreat for family gatherings, a short-term rental property that generates passive income, and long-term value in one of Washington’s most sought-after destinations.
Smart Design for Family and Guests
When we design a home, we make sure it works for you and for potential renters: flexible layouts that fit family living and guest stays, durable finishes and high-quality craftsmanship that stand up to rental use, and features renters love—open kitchens, outdoor living spaces, and plenty of bedrooms.
