Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Hyrum, Utah
Hyrum sits about seven miles south of Logan in Cache Valley, with Hyrum State Park and its 450-acre reservoir as the main draw for short-term renters. The reservoir pulls boaters, paddleboarders, and anglers from late spring through early fall, and the surrounding Bear River and Wellsville mountains add fishing, hiking, and Hardware Ranch elk viewing to the year-round appeal. Utah State University in Logan keeps a steady stream of visiting parents, conference attendees, and football weekenders looking for lodging within a 15-minute drive, and Beaver Mountain ski area is roughly 45 minutes up Logan Canyon. That mix of summer reservoir traffic, USU events, and winter Cache Valley tourism is what makes vacation rental ownership here pencil out for some buyers.
Before buying with short-term rental intent, check Hyrum City's current ordinances — Cache Valley municipalities have tightened nightly-rental rules in recent years, and zoning, owner-occupancy requirements, and business licensing vary by neighborhood. Properties closer to the state park entrance, on larger lots with parking for boats and trailers, and homes with bunk-room layouts tend to perform best on platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo. Median home prices in Hyrum generally run below Logan and Providence, which can improve cash-on-cash returns if the rental use is permitted. The active listings below include single-family homes, cabins, and properties that current or previous owners have used for nightly or weekly stays.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Hyrum.
Does Hyrum allow short-term vacation rentals? ▾
Hyrum City regulates short-term rentals through zoning and business licensing, and the rules have shifted over the past few years. Some zones permit nightly rentals with a license, others require owner occupancy, and a few prohibit them outright. Always verify the specific parcel's zoning with Hyrum City before closing — we can help pull that information during your due diligence.
What draws vacation renters to Hyrum specifically? ▾
Hyrum State Park and its reservoir are the primary summer draw, with boating, fishing, swimming, and camping from May through September. USU sports and graduation weekends, Logan Canyon access, Beaver Mountain skiing in winter, and Hardware Ranch elk feeding tours also bring overnight visitors throughout the year.
What kind of nightly rates do Hyrum vacation rentals typically command? ▾
Rates vary widely by size and proximity to the reservoir, but most Cache Valley short-term rentals run roughly $120–$250 per night, with larger group homes pushing higher during USU football weekends and summer holidays. Occupancy is strongest June through August and during USU event weekends.
Are there HOAs in Hyrum that restrict nightly rentals? ▾
Some newer subdivisions in and around Hyrum have CC&Rs that prohibit or limit short-term rentals even when city zoning would allow them. Always read the HOA documents during your inspection period — an HOA restriction can override your business plan regardless of what the city says.
Is financing different for a property I plan to use as a vacation rental? ▾
Yes. Lenders treat short-term rentals as investment property in most cases, which means larger down payments (typically 20–25%) and slightly higher rates than a primary residence. Some buyers use a second-home loan if they'll occupy it part of the year, but lender rules on that have tightened.
How close is Hyrum to the Salt Lake City airport for out-of-state guests? ▾
Hyrum is about 90 minutes north of Salt Lake City International Airport via I-15 and US-89/91 through Sardine Canyon. That drive is a real factor for guests, so listings that emphasize the reservoir, USU, or a multi-day Cache Valley itinerary tend to convert better than ones marketed as quick getaways.
