Bachelor Gulch is the clearest example in the valley of why rental rules are checked property by property — and, here, by purchase date.
It depends on the lot and on when you buy. For the Class A Estate Lots (Lots 1–107, 112–115, T-1 and T-2), the Bachelor Gulch Village Association policy recorded May 9, 2025 prohibits rentals under 14 days and requires a $500 annual Leasing License for leases of 14 days or more — but owners of record on the recording date are grandfathered, and that exemption ends when the residence is sold. Condominium and sub-association properties (such as the Ritz-Carlton Residences) are not covered by this policy and follow their own declarations plus Beaver Creek Resort Company licensing.
Listings whose MLS record states that short-term rentals are permitted and that carry no affordable or resident-occupied deed restriction. Each card shows the STR and deed-restriction status from the MLS. "Permitted" in the MLS is the starting point — the HOA documents and licensing still have to be verified for the specific unit.

Short-term rentals allowed by the municipality does not necessarily mean short-term rentals are allowed at the property. Both levels have to say yes.
Set by the town, the county, or in Beaver Creek the Resort Company. They decide whether a license exists, what it costs, and which taxes apply.
Written into the recorded documents that run with the property. A town license never overrides them, and they are where most "no" answers in the Vail Valley come from.
Read the policy against the exact lot number. Multi-family properties and sub-associations inside Bachelor Gulch are governed by their own declarations, which may permit nightly rentals through a rental program. Because the estate-lot exemption is tied to the current owner, a home that rents nightly today under a grandfathered owner will not be able to after closing.
The town or county requirements and the property's own HOA, condominium or deed restrictions — both levels, on this page.
Listings whose MLS record says short-term rentals are permitted, with the deed-restriction status on every card.
Comparable rentals, seasonal occupancy, nightly rates, operating costs and net income — verified data kept separate from assumptions.
Conservative, expected and strong scenarios for the address you are considering or already own.
We prepare a specialized rental projection for a property you are considering or one you already own. It goes beyond "this property rents for $X": it separates verified property data from assumptions, and it shows the range, not a single number.
