Great Winter Markets That You're Seeing Success In?

Hi All,

I am trying to research some good markets that have peak periods in Dec-Mar. Obviously, mountain and ski towns are easy targets but I wanted to either hear from either those operating in those markets or others in less traditional markets and your success stories.

Looking forward to your responses!

Cody

What about Flagstaff AZ ? Not a very well known ski town, but a good one nonetheless...

     I have a feeling they might be priced to perfection but thanks!

    No personal experience with it but I've seen the North Carolina ski areas pop up a few times on some STR FB groups as renting pretty well for skiing in winter, while still having good summers.

    The problem with the big western ski resorts is they're ALL pretty much priced to perfection (and then some).  The land is just so expensive.  I've toyed with the idea of Ogden Valley and Powder Mountain since the goal of the new ownership there is to build a village and turn it into a Park City style area, but it's already priced like it's Park City.

    Even the mediocre western ski destinations have exorbitant real estate pricing.  And the really good ski destinations have some word beyond exorbitant that probably hasn't been invented yet.

    A couple months ago I saw a $6 million home in Steamboat Springs where they advertised $80k in rental income over the last year. I'm sure most of the multi-million dollar homes are doing a lot better than that but I doubt many can compare to spending $6 million in one of the well known good STR markets.

    I have been very surprised by how much our SC lake house is rented in the "off season"

    People come to:

    Relax by the fireplace with a view of the lake, girl or guy weekends, visiting family in the area, visiting their kids at Clemson, Holiday getaway with family, fish, get away from the brutal cold up north or the heat in Florida or just get away.

    Thanks - this sounds like a nice place to look into. I'll check out lake towns in SC.
