Aspen Short-Term Rental Market
Aspen is one of the highest-ADR short-term rental markets in North America, with nightly rates routinely exceeding $500 during ski season and peaking above $1,500 for holiday weeks. The market is intensely seasonal: December through March (ski season) and June through August (mountain summer) account for 80%+ of annual revenue, while shoulder seasons can be nearly dead. Aspen guests skew ultra-premium — they're paying for slopeside access, proximity to Snowmass and Aspen Mountain, and the social scene around the Aspen Institute and summer music festivals. Hosts with ski-in/out properties, hot tubs, and fireplace-centered living rooms command significant premiums. The compliance environment is strict: Aspen requires STR permits with caps in some zones, and HOA restrictions are common in Snowmass Village condos. ParaVista creators are particularly valuable here because Aspen guests extensively research properties on Instagram before booking — a single well-shot winter mountain vlog from a property can drive bookings for the entire season. This is a market where professional content pays back many times over.
A typical 2-bedroom rental in Aspen generates between $113,686 and $170,528 in annual revenue before expenses. Larger properties, premium amenities (pool, hot tub, waterfront views), and professional content marketing through ParaVista can push earnings significantly higher.
