Notes for investors

Occupancy is capped at 2 occupants per approved bedroom plus 2 additional (e.g., 3BR = 8 guests). On-street parking is prohibited; underwrite only properties with adequate off-street parking. Operator must be reachable by phone whenever the property is occupied - a local property manager satisfies this. Vermont statewide STR registration (Act 22) also applies via the Department of Housing & Community Development. Registration is administratively simple; Killington remains one of the most STR-friendly resort towns in the Northeast.
