Electrical service is already in place for a future spa—an amenity that can further enhance rental demand. A separate bonus unit with its own fireplace and full bathroom provides added flexibility. While it is not included in the official bedroom count, it offers valuable additional space for guests, a game room, home office, or private retreat. Parking for up to five vehicles is another significant advantage, especially for larger groups and vacation renters. A professional short-term rental income analysis estimates an average daily rate of approximately $554 with projected annual gross rental income of approximately $67,000. The analysis projects an annual income range of approximately $40,000 at the 25th percentile to as much as $105,000 at the 75th percentile, depending on management, occupancy, seasonality, and property upgrades. Whether you're looking for a personal mountain getaway with income potential or your next investment project, this property combines an exceptional location, renovation upside, and impressive short-term rental potential. Bring your vision and transform this diamond in the rough into one of Snow Summit's standout vacation rentals.
