5 Unique Vacation Rentals to Visit in 2024
Top Unique Vacation Rentals in Tahoe, Park City, and Breckenridge
As a vacation rental owner, you should always be on the lookout for ways to upgrade or improve your rental, whether that’s leveling up your decor and furnishings or a complete overhaul to renovate the entire property, from bottom to top. Discerning guests are always on the hunt for the most memorable vacation possible, and they’re more likely to book with you if you stand out from the competition by offering something unique and different from the rest.
That’s why today, we’re highlighting 5 unique LocalVR vacation rentals that you should visit to draw some inspiration from in 2024.
#1: Enjoy Modern Mountain Living at Bear Peak Lodge
Out of all of LocalVR’s properties in Breckenridge, the beautiful Bear Peak Lodge is perhaps the most unique. This conveniently located vacation rental is only a half-mile away from the gondola along with all of Breck’s entertainment.
This spacious and well-designed home, spread out over five levels, has ample enough space for up to 16 of your closest friends and family. In addition, this home also boasts three separate decks as well as a sunroom for you to get some of the most awe-inspiring views you’ll find anywhere in Breck. Other amenities of this unique home include a popcorn maker in the fully-stocked kitchen, an outdoor grilling space with a propane grill, and a master bathroom with a relaxing jacuzzi tub to end the day in.
#2: Appreciate Tahoe Art at the Tahoe Dreamer
The next unique home on our list is home to some of Tahoe’s most feared denizens: bears. Fear not, however, for the bears are merely wooden statues, and they are arrayed all around The Tahoe Dreamer, a 4-bedroom property located deep in the trees of Carnelian Bay.
Art enthusiasts will appreciate the whimsy and rustic feel of the statues, each of which show the bears in adorable poses, such as looking through a telescope or waving hello as you enter the home. That’s not it, either–other interesting design details on this home include a ground-floor turret, a well-stocked game room for guests to unwind after a long day of Tahoe activities, and a giant copper tub located in the master bathroom that’s perfect for a long hot bath.
#3: Get Incredible Views at The McQueen Haus
Custom-built homes are always designed differently, and that often leads to one-of-a-kind properties such as our next unique home, The McQueen Haus. This gorgeous vacation rental resides in secluded Alma, Colorado, just fifteen miles south of Breckenridge, and once you set foot in this vacation rental, you’ll be blown away by how well its design incorporates mountain views with comfortable living and outdoor spaces.
With enough room to fit up to 15 guests at a time, this luxurious property is great for small family reunions, retreats, or skiing get-togethers. Aside from its gorgeous exterior, the interior is well-designed and appointed, with everything a guest could need to have a great time during their visit to the Colorado mountains.
#4: Vacation in Style at This Well-Appointed Park City Condo
One way to stand out from the crowd as a vacation rental is to really focus on the interior design in order to come up with something completely unique. That’s exactly what the owners of this 3-bedroom Park City condo, located inside of the one-of-a-kind Blue Church Lodge, decided to do–decorate their hearts out.
The main living space boasts beautiful wood paneling on the walls, interspersed with gorgeous black accent walls that really bring the main focus back to the stunning decor. The modern fireplace will also wow you with its stylish granite mantle, which is perfect for those cold winter days spent indoors. The bedrooms, meanwhile, offer views out of the old church windows, and are just as well-decorated as the rest of this condo, with well-designed furnishings and decor that fits just right.
#5: Go Scandinavian at This Historic Park City Home
Old houses always have a certain charm about them, especially when they are updated and renovated to be as modern as their neighboring counterparts. This holds especially true at this gorgeous 2-bedroom Park City home, which was once a historic house where miners resided.
Built in 1901, this vacation rental has been painstakingly renovated into a Scandinavian style that will blow you away from the first moment you step inside. From the wooden beams placed thoughtfully on the ceiling of the kitchen to the well-chosen furnishings scattered throughout the home, there are plenty of interesting design inspirations to gain from a visit to this beautiful home. Best of all, it’s within walking distance of many of Park City’s biggest attractions, such as the Park City Town Lift, which will lead you straight up the mountain to your next skiing adventure.
