Did You Know Sundance is Coming to Boulder? Is Your Home Rental-Ready?

The Sundance Film Festival is coming to Boulder in 2027, and the excitement is already building. This world-renowned event is expected to draw thousands of filmmakers, actors, critics, and film enthusiasts to our community. While this means more art, culture, and buzz for Boulder, it also means one very practical thing: there will be a huge demand for places to stay.

For local homeowners, this presents an incredible opportunity. Imagine transforming your house into a rental property for a few weeks and generating income while the festival takes place. But the question is: is your home rental-ready?

What Does “Rental-Ready” Mean?

Being rental-ready goes beyond having a spare bed and a clean house. It’s about creating an inviting, safe, and functional space for paying guests who expect hotel-level comfort. Here are some essentials:

1. Declutter and Depersonalize – Store away personal items, valuables, and anything that makes the home feel “lived in.” Guests want a neutral, welcoming space.
   
2. Furnishings and Comfort – Invest in comfortable beds, quality linens, and modern décor. These details can significantly increase your nightly rate.
   
3. Stock the Essentials – Kitchen basics, toiletries, and extra supplies like toilet paper and paper towels should be readily available.
   
4. Safety First – Make sure you have smoke detectors, CO2 monitors, a fire extinguisher, and a clear exit plan.
   
5. Tech Expectations – High-speed Wi-Fi and streaming capabilities are a must for festival-goers who may be working or relaxing between events.
