Top 5 Spots in CO for Vacation Rentals

[Max James]

Who has experience on vacation rentals out in Colorado?  I'm a huge snowboarder and make an annual trip out west with my family and friends.  I'm sure I would make more of them if I had my very own vacation rental out there near a ski resort.  

What are the top 5 locations/ski resorts in Colorado for vacation rentals?  Looking for a location to start doing more investigating.

Thanks!

Hi @Max James we've thought about buying a condo in Silverthorne and/or Winter Park many times.  We particularly like Silverthorne as it's a great central location for A-Basin, Breck and Keystone and fairly easy drive for anyone coming from the Denver metro area and the airport.  Anytime that we have personally rented a condo it's been in Silverthorne.  

The issue with any of the CO ski areas is trying to keep it full during the non ski months and that's what has kept us from buying a condo in the mountains here. As much as we would like to have a place in the mountains for us to use, the prices on condos in the ski areas are real similar to the prices of condos in Hawaii.  Since it's much easier to keep a Hawaii condo full year round, that's where we put our money.  That being said, we still keep an eye out for a good deal in the Silverthorne and Winter Park areas and still hope to one day pull the trigger on a mountain condo here.
