Why we organize

What is a short-term rental?

A short-term rental is a home, cabin, cottage, apartment, or other lawful residence rented to travelers for a temporary stay. You may also hear them called vacation homes or guest accommodations.

These places can give families room to stay near local events, outdoor recreation, family celebrations, and regional attractions, while supporting local property owners.
