Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Logan, Utah
Logan sits at the north end of Cache Valley, roughly 80 miles north of Salt Lake City, with Utah State University anchoring the local economy and a steady flow of visitors tied to Aggie athletics, the Ellen Eccles Theatre, the Utah Festival Opera, and outdoor recreation up Logan Canyon. That mix creates real demand for furnished short- and mid-term rentals, but Logan is not Park City or St. George when it comes to nightly-rental rules. The city limits short-term rentals (stays under 30 days) in most residential zones and requires a business license, so the smart play is usually a property zoned for transient lodging, an owner-occupied setup, or a 30-plus-day furnished rental aimed at traveling nurses, visiting faculty, and relocating Space Dynamics Lab employees.
Properties that work best for this strategy tend to cluster near USU's campus on the east bench, in walkable older neighborhoods like the Center Street historic district, or up toward Logan Canyon and Green Canyon for guests who want quick access to Beaver Mountain skiing, Tony Grove, and Bear Lake. Buyers also widen the search into Providence, River Heights, Nibley, and Hyrum, where rules can be more flexible and price-per-square-foot is often lower. Before writing an offer, verify the current zoning and STR ordinance with Logan City or the relevant municipality — rules have shifted in recent years.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Logan.
Does Logan allow short-term vacation rentals? ▾
Logan City restricts short-term rentals (under 30 days) in most residential zones, and operators generally need a business license plus compliance with zoning rules. Nightly rentals are easier to run in commercial or mixed-use zones, or in unincorporated Cache County pockets with looser rules. Always verify the zoning on a specific address with Logan Community Development before writing an offer.
Where in Cache Valley are vacation rentals most viable? ▾
Demand clusters around USU game weekends, the Ellen Eccles Theatre and Logan Canyon access points. Properties near Center Street, the Island neighborhood, and homes close to US-89 heading into Logan Canyon and Bear Lake see the steadiest nightly bookings. Cabins in Garden City and Beaver Mountain corridors typically operate as full STRs with fewer city restrictions.
What kind of nightly rates and occupancy do Logan rentals see? ▾
Logan is a seasonal market — peak occupancy hits during USU football and graduation weekends, summer Bear Lake traffic, and the Utah Festival Opera season. Nightly rates commonly land in the $130–$250 range for a 2-3 bedroom home, with occupancy averaging 50–65% across the year rather than the higher numbers you'd see in Moab or Park City.
Are mid-term (30+ day) rentals a better play here? ▾
Often, yes. With USU students, traveling nurses at Logan Regional Hospital, and visiting faculty, furnished 30-90 day rentals avoid the short-term zoning issue entirely and produce more predictable income. Many investors in Cache Valley run a hybrid model — nightly during football season, monthly the rest of the year.
What should I check before buying a property for rental use? ▾
Confirm the zoning allows your intended rental length, check any HOA covenants (several Logan subdivisions prohibit rentals under 6 or 12 months), and review Cache County tax rates including the transient room tax. A quick call to Logan's licensing office before going under contract saves a lot of headaches.
How does Logan compare to Park City or St. George for rental returns? ▾
Cash-on-cash returns in Logan are usually lower than resort markets, but entry prices are far cheaper — many rental-suitable homes trade between $375K and $600K versus seven figures in Park City. The trade-off is steadier, lower-volatility income tied to the university calendar rather than ski or red rock tourism.
