Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Annabella, Utah
Annabella sits in the Sevier Valley about four miles south of Richfield, surrounded by alfalfa fields, the Pahvant Range to the west, and the Sevier Plateau climbing east toward Fish Lake. It's a town of roughly 800 people where lots are bigger, water rights still trade hands, and the night sky is dark enough to see the Milky Way. For buyers shopping vacation rental properties here, the draw is location: you're 15 minutes from Richfield's restaurants and hospital, 45 minutes to Fish Lake, an hour to the Paiute ATV Trail staging areas, and about 90 minutes to Capitol Reef National Park. That's a wider catchment of outdoor renters than most central-Utah towns can claim.
Annabella's nightly-rental market is smaller and more seasonal than St. George or Moab, but the buy-in is also dramatically lower — and competition for guests is thinner. Homes that work best as STRs tend to have detached shops or RV parking for guests hauling side-by-sides, snowmobiles, or horse trailers, plus enough bedrooms to host multi-family hunting or fishing groups. Sevier County's short-term rental regulations are more workable than what you'll find on the Wasatch Front, though rules do shift, so verify current zoning before you write an offer. Browse the active listings below to see what's on the market right now, and reach out if you'd like nightly-rate comps or occupancy data for a specific address.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Annabella.
Are short-term rentals actually legal in Annabella? ▾
Annabella is an unincorporated-feeling small town inside Sevier County, and short-term rental rules fall under county code rather than a dedicated city STR ordinance. Sevier County is generally friendlier to nightly rentals than Wasatch Front cities, but you should confirm zoning and any required business license with the county before closing. Always get the current rules in writing — STR regulations change.
Who actually rents vacation homes in Annabella? ▾
Guests are typically headed to Fish Lake, Big Rock Candy Mountain, the Paiute ATV Trail, or Capitol Reef (about 90 minutes southeast). You'll also see hunters in the fall and snowmobilers headed to Fishlake National Forest in winter. It's a different guest profile than Moab or Park City — longer stays, families, and outdoor-recreation groups rather than weekend party crowds.
What does a vacation rental in Annabella typically cost? ▾
Most homes in the Annabella–Richfield corridor trade in the $350K–$600K range depending on acreage, outbuildings, and condition. Properties with a shop, RV parking, or room to garage side-by-sides tend to command stronger nightly rates because that's what guests here actually want.
What nightly rates and occupancy can I expect? ▾
Realistic nightly rates run roughly $150–$275 depending on size and amenities, with peak demand from May through October and a secondary bump during deer hunt and snowmobile season. Occupancy is seasonal — don't underwrite a deal assuming Park City numbers. Talk to a local property manager before you buy.
Is there a homeowner association or CC&R that blocks STR use? ▾
Most Annabella properties are on larger lots without an HOA, which is part of why they work as rentals. That said, a handful of newer subdivisions in the area do have CC&Rs that restrict nightly rentals, so read the recorded documents carefully during your due diligence period.
How far is Annabella from the nearest airport for guests? ▾
Most guests fly into Salt Lake City (about 2.5 hours north on I-15 then US-50) or drive in from Las Vegas (roughly 4 hours). Cedar City Regional has limited commercial service about 90 minutes away. Driving guests dominate the market, so easy parking for trucks and trailers matters more than airport proximity.
