Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Fillmore, Utah
Fillmore sits roughly halfway between Salt Lake City and St. George right on I-15, which is the whole reason a vacation rental can pencil out here. The town of about 2,500 was Utah's original territorial capital, and the old statehouse still anchors Main Street. Guests booking Fillmore aren't coming for the town itself — they're coming because it's the natural overnight stop for road-trippers heading to Las Vegas, hunters working the Pahvant and Fishlake units, ATV riders accessing the Paiute Trail, and families breaking up the long haul to Bryce or Zion. That traffic is steady from May through October, with a strong fall spike during deer and elk seasons.
Prices in Fillmore are a fraction of what you'd pay for a comparable STR in Washington County or Summit County, which changes the investment math considerably. A three-bedroom rambler with a heated garage and room for trailer parking tends to outperform a fancier home with no toy storage, because the guest profile leans toward hunters, sledders, and off-road riders. Winters are cold (lows in the teens and twenties, occasional snow), summers are hot and dry in the 90s, and the high desert sunshine runs most of the year. Short-term rental rules here are friendlier than in resort markets, but licensing and transient room tax still apply. The listings below are active Millard County MLS properties that suit nightly or weekly rental use — review what's available and reach out with questions on specific homes.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Fillmore.
Does Fillmore allow short-term vacation rentals? ▾
Fillmore City permits short-term rentals, but operators typically need a business license and must collect Utah's transient room tax along with local sales tax. Rules are looser than what you'd hit in Park City or Moab, which is part of the appeal for first-time STR owners. Always confirm current zoning with Fillmore City before closing — ordinances do get updated.
Who actually rents vacation properties in Fillmore? ▾
Most guests are road-trippers breaking up the I-15 drive between Salt Lake and Las Vegas or St. George, hunters during deer and elk seasons, and ATV/UTV riders heading into the Paiute Trail system. You'll also see overflow from Capitol Reef and Great Basin National Park visitors. Stays tend to be one or two nights rather than week-long bookings.
What price range should I expect for an STR-suitable home here? ▾
Single-family homes in Fillmore generally run from the mid $300s to low $500s, with older homes on larger lots near Main Street often coming in lower. Cash flow math works differently than in resort markets — lower purchase prices offset lower nightly rates, which usually sit in the $90–$160 range depending on size and season.
Is there enough year-round demand to cover the mortgage? ▾
Demand is seasonal-heavy. Summer road-trip traffic and fall hunting season are the strongest windows, with a noticeable dip in January and February. Many owners underwrite to 45–55% occupancy rather than the 65%+ you might pencil in St. George. Pad your reserves accordingly.
Do I need to live in Utah to own a rental in Fillmore? ▾
No, out-of-state ownership is fine, but you'll want a local cleaner and a handyman on call — Fillmore is about two and a half hours from SLC and an hour from Richfield, so remote management without local help gets painful fast. Several property managers in Millard County now handle STRs specifically.
What features help a Fillmore rental book better? ▾
Garage or trailer parking for side-by-sides and boats is the single biggest differentiator, followed by a fenced yard for dogs and fast internet for remote workers passing through. Hunters appreciate a mudroom and a chest freezer. Hot tubs help in fall and winter but aren't the must-have they are in ski towns.
