Wine country vacation rentals

Does anyone invest in wine country vacation homes? It looks like you can make a nice return on places near the russian river going the short term vacation rental route but having a hard time finding ones that would also cash flow as a long term rental. 

Look forward to hearing your thoughts

Michael, this is the right scenario where short term rentals can win over long term, and where you might be able to find real estate prices that can lead to cash flow opportunities. However, there are a lot of restrictions on vacation rentals in California wine country. Check on local regulations--that can often be different from one street to the next--before buying. County and city regulations should be easy to locate on websites.
