It’s no wonder short-term rentals (STRs) have become hugely popular. Generate income while you use the property as a second home. Consider use as a furnished corporate rental, or travel-nurse housing. Let somebody else pay down your mortgage as you recognize market appreciation. There are many approaches depending on your end-goal. It’s crucial that you understand the laws and restrictions of different cities, buildings, zones, etc before purchasing a property as an intended STR. Interior design plays an integral role in the success and marketability of your property. Our team at maKe is knowledgeable and eager to help you enter into this market with confidence.

“Truly a magical experience! I cannot say enough about this Airbnb! Katie responded quickly to every question I had. The place is beautifully decorated and in an incredible location-we barely used the car we rented. The board games were an awesome and super fun touch. The place is stocked with everything you could ever want – bathroom toiletries, ALL kitchen utilities, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to find a cast iron pan to cook a great steak! Also, the bed is SO SO comfortable -my bf never sleeps and slept like a baby! HIGHLY recommend! Hoping to return soon!”

“Katie’s place was perfect in every way for our family of four. The location put us steps away from everything Breck has to offer. The apartment itself was roomy, had all tech/entertainment features, and was clean, comfortable, and stylish. We could tell a lot of love went into it. Even cuter in person than in the pics! Great communication by hosts. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Unit 124 is as stylish as described. The location is ideal — one block off Main Street, with easy access to the slopes. The condo is well-equipped, from appliances to games. We didn’t realize the bunks were full-sized — quite spacious for our teens. Our host Katie was very responsive and helpful.”

“Katie’s Place was more than what we expected; absolutely beautiful. The posted pictures of the condo are great, but the warmth and cozy feeling we felt upon entering the condo was more than inviting. The location was perfect for our first time visit to Breckenridge, as the condo was walking distance to most activities or just a short Uber/Lift ride. Thank you again for the wonderful accommodations! Certainly looking forward to our return next year!”

“This place was absolutely beautiful! Perfect location to anything you want to do in town. Can’t wait to stay here again!”

“Perfect place for our family of 3! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Breckenridge and our stay at Katie’s place. It was spacious and allowed us to spread out and had everything we needed and more, and made it super easy to access great restaurants, wineries, breweries, the gondola, City Market and the Castaway Cove (an awesome Tiki Bar just a stone’s throw away). We feel like we scored with this booking and highly recommend! Katie was super attentive and ensured we were satisfied with our stay every step of the way!”

“LOCATION WAS FABULOUS! We loved the view from our windows and the sound of the river and town. Easy walk to main street for shopping and restaurants. The space was very clean and had everything we needed for our weekend getaway and felt very homey. Breckenridge was absolutely stunning in the fall, would 100% come back and stay in this location again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!”
