Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Ogden, Utah
Ogden has quietly become one of Utah's more interesting short-term rental markets, largely because it sits at the intersection of two very different guest pools. Downtown, Historic 25th Street draws weekend visitors for the restaurants, breweries, and Union Station events, while the Ogden Valley — Eden, Huntsville, and the slopes of Powder Mountain and Snowbasin — pulls skiers in winter and mountain bikers, paddlers, and Pineview Reservoir traffic the rest of the year. That dual-season demand is part of why investors keep circling back here instead of paying Park City prices 90 minutes south.
Before buying, the zoning homework matters more in Ogden than almost anywhere else in northern Utah. Ogden City limits non-owner-occupied nightly rentals to specific overlay zones and requires a permit, while unincorporated Weber County and the Ogden Valley generally allow them more broadly — but individual HOAs at Wolf Creek, Powder Mountain, and parts of Eden have their own rules layered on top. Properties that are already permitted and operating tend to command a premium, and a clean rental history with verifiable revenue makes financing significantly easier. Most of the listings shown here are either currently licensed short-term rentals or sit in zones where that use is allowed. Browse the active listings below to see what's on the market, and reach out if you'd like help pulling zoning, HOA documents, or trailing-twelve-month revenue on a specific address.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Ogden.
Does Ogden allow short-term rentals citywide? ▾
No. Ogden City restricts nightly rentals to specific zones and requires a business license plus a short-term rental permit. Most non-owner-occupied STRs are limited to commercial and mixed-use corridors near 25th Street and the Junction, so always verify the parcel's zoning with Ogden City before writing an offer.
Which Ogden-area neighborhoods are friendliest to vacation rentals? ▾
The downtown core around Historic 25th Street performs well thanks to walkability to restaurants, the Eccles Theater, and the FrontRunner station. For ski-driven income, buyers often look just outside city limits in Powder Mountain, Snowbasin-adjacent Huntsville, and Eden in the Ogden Valley, where Weber County's STR rules are generally more permissive than Ogden City's.
What kind of nightly rates and occupancy can owners expect? ▾
Rates swing seasonally. Downtown lofts typically run $130-$220 a night with steady weekend demand year-round, while Ogden Valley cabins near Powder Mountain and Snowbasin can pull $300-$600+ during ski season and summer weekends. Annual occupancy in the valley often lands in the 55-70% range depending on amenities like hot tubs, garages for gear, and proximity to the lifts.
Are there HOAs in the Ogden Valley that block short-term rentals? ▾
Some, yes. Wolf Creek, certain Powder Mountain developments, and a handful of Eden subdivisions either restrict or expressly allow nightly rentals. Always pull the CC&Rs before closing — Weber County zoning may permit an STR that the HOA still prohibits.
How close are these properties to skiing and the airport? ▾
Snowbasin and Powder Mountain are roughly 20-35 minutes from downtown Ogden up Ogden Canyon. Salt Lake City International Airport sits about 40 minutes south via I-15, which is a major selling point for out-of-state guests compared to deeper mountain markets like Park City.
Do lenders treat vacation rentals differently than primary homes? ▾
Yes. Most lenders classify a dedicated STR as an investment property, which usually means 15-25% down and a rate roughly 0.5-1% higher than an owner-occupied loan. DSCR loans based on projected rental income are common for Ogden Valley cabins — ask your lender to run both conventional and DSCR scenarios.
