Ride, Rest, Repeat: Maximizing ROI in Vermont’s Outdoor-Obsessed STR Markets

Design is not an expense — it’s a catalyst for revenue and ROI. In this data-powered session, Kate Robinson of Wild Birch Design reveals how short-term rental (STR) investors can increase ADR and occupancy, boost off-season bookings, and build standout, brand-worthy listings that consistently outperform the competition using design-forward, guest-driven strategies tailored to Vermont’s most profitable outdoor markets.

Armed with fresh April 2024–April 2025 market data, Kate will break down average daily rates (ADR), occupancy trends, and annual revenue potential based on property size, amenity packages, and regional demand across Vermont’s top outdoor destinations — from Mount Snow and Killington to Stowe, Jay Peak, and East Burke. You’ll learn to choose upgrades and amenities that truly move the needle based on market competition and guest expectations, create listings that drive trust and Wishlist saves, and position even a single STR as a magnetic, high-performance brand.

Whether you’re eyeing your next rental, elevating a current listing, optimizing your growing STR portfolio, or developing a larger multi-unit STR property, this session delivers the real numbers, proven strategies, and design insights that turn properties into profit engines — giving you the edge to win in today’s evolving STR landscape.

Come join a great group of local investors at Burlington Beer Company, with Kate's presentation kicking off around 6:30 pm. Enjoy some food and local brews from BBCO while you learn!
