In this episode of Steamboat Real Estate & Investing, I sit down with Meredith Rumsey, founder of Vacation Rental Co — a top-tier vacation rental management company operating in Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, and Grand Lake.
We tackle one of the biggest conversations in Colorado mountain towns right now: short-term rental enforcement, fines, and what it means for owners and investors.
We discuss:
- The reality behind recent $260,000+ fines in Steamboat
- How enforcement is playing out
- Short-term rental performance: bookings, ADRs, and occupancy trends
- A new emerging market—30+-day rentals—and who’s driving demand
- What Meredith is seeing in the market—and her recommendations for investors in 2025
- The impact and reality of a proposed vacancy tax for unoccupied homes in Steamboat Springs
Whether you own a vacation rental, manage a portfolio, or are exploring your next move in mountain real estate, this episode is packed with timely insight.
Next month, we’ll unpack how 100% bonus depreciation under the “Big Beautiful Bill” can supercharge your tax strategy as a Steamboat real-estate owner—complete with real-world examples and timing tips.
