8 Best STR Finds | November 25, 2024

Nestled in the shadow of glacial peaks, today’s featured listing is more than a Scandinavian-style mountain home—it’s an opportunity to tap into the booming short-term rental market in one of the Pacific Northwest’s most sought-after destinations.

Washington State’s STR revenue surged to nearly $670 million last year, fueled by the region’s unparalleled outdoor offerings and an influx of remote workers turning vacation rentals into work-from-anywhere havens. Surrounded by National Parks and a protected Spotted Owl habitat, this property captures the very essence of what travelers are looking for: off-the-grid serenity with a modern twist.

And the home itself? Completely remodeled in 2020, this one-bedroom gem combines sleek Scandinavian aesthetics with eco-conscious upgrades like solar power and a beautiful Japanese-tiled bathroom. Add private trails and you’ve got a guest magnet that commands premium nightly rates.

Currently listed year-round on Airbnb, but there’s even more income potential to unlock here. Savvy operators could easily increase profits by optimizing the listing for seasonal events, outdoor adventures, or exclusive retreats. In a market where rural STRs have seen a 30% growth in demand, this is your chance to cash in on a property that delivers peace, solitude, and a steady income stream.

Think this might be the mountain hideaway that pays your way to financial freedom? Sign up to unlock this listing and more handpicked STR opportunities. This property and more are in our premium offer, Investor’s Edge. The next 25 people to sign up get it for 52% off forever. Sign up below! 👇
