I'm toying with the idea of a seasonal rental next year, somewhere in S Vt. Other than scouring VRBO, Craigslist and other similar sites is there a good source for these types of listings?

i think ludlow is as far north as i'd go and i was there yesterday when i came up with this idea. i shared tables twice yesterday with employees and there was a banner at the top of sunburst soliciting patrollers (or maybe ambassadors) for next season. not that getting a job at the mountain is easy or even something i really want to do but it had me thinking. especially since my wife doesnt' ski, daughter is not as dedicated as me and son is off @ school.You say S. VT, if you are talking Ludlow area I highly recommend Trails End Accommodations for a realtor, not sure if they venture out of that area. We have been happy with their service for the past few years.
thanks, will do.Good luck if you have any specific ?'s feel free to PM me.
The local real estate magazines they have at business are usually a good source of seasonal rentals.
As a landlord of a seasonal rental at Sugarbush (for the last 15 years) I can tell you how I market the place. I have a listing at Homeaway.com up live all year. Maybe half of my seasonal tenants come from there. There is flurry of activity between about now until early May, then it gets really slow. Things start to pick up in August with Labor Day weekend being a big viewing time. If I dont have it rented by mid-summer I place a listing on Craigs list. I dont use local papers anymore because Craigs list gets those people. I try not to use realtors because they will charge me a fee and I have to pass that along to the renter. FYI, the market has moved increasingly quickly over the last 2 years. If you find a place you like, don't procrastinate. He who is prepared to place the largest deposit, wins.
