Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Soda Springs, Utah
Soda Springs sits high in the Uinta Mountains off Mirror Lake Highway, about 90 minutes east of Salt Lake City and a similar drive from Park City. It's a private gated community built around alpine lakes, pine forest, and proximity to the Bear River drainage — the kind of place where Wasatch Front families have kept second homes for decades. For buyers looking at vacation rental properties here, the appeal is clear: cabins and chalets that rent strong through summer fishing and boating season, fall color weekends, and the snowmobile months from December through March. Short-term rental rules are set by the HOA rather than a city government, so the rental landscape is more predictable than what you'll see in places like Park City proper.
Price points typically run from the high $400s for older A-frames and smaller cabins up past $1.5M for newer custom builds with garages, hot tubs, and lake or meadow frontage. Most rental-friendly properties here are turnkey furnished, sleep 8-14, and benefit from being one of the only true alpine cabin destinations within easy reach of SLC International. Winter access requires snowmobiles or tracked vehicles past a certain point, which actually drives nightly rates up rather than down — guests pay for the novelty. Browse the active listings below to see which Soda Springs cabins are currently on the market and what their rental histories look like.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Soda Springs.
Are short-term rentals actually allowed in Soda Springs? ▾
Yes. Soda Springs is a private community governed by the Soda Springs Recreation HOA, and short-term rentals are permitted under HOA rules rather than restricted by city ordinance. Owners do need to register rentals with the HOA and follow guest occupancy and noise guidelines. Always confirm current rules with the HOA before closing, since policies can be updated.
What's the typical rental income on a Soda Springs cabin? ▾
Well-managed 3-4 bedroom cabins commonly gross $40,000-$80,000 annually, with the strongest performers — lakefront properties with hot tubs and sled access — pushing into six figures. Summer weekends and the holiday-to-spring-break snowmobile window drive most of the revenue. Ask your agent to request rental history from sellers who already operate as STRs.
Is winter access an issue for renters? ▾
It's part of the draw. The main road is plowed only to a certain point, and guests reach interior cabins by snowmobile, side-by-side, or snowcat shuttle. Cabins that include sled use or arrange shuttle service in their listing rent at a premium because the access itself becomes the experience.
How far is Soda Springs from Salt Lake City and Park City? ▾
Plan on roughly 90 minutes from SLC International in summer via I-80 and the Mirror Lake Highway, and about 75 minutes from Park City. Winter drive times stretch longer once you factor in the transition to snowmobile access at the gate.
Do most Soda Springs cabins come furnished? ▾
The majority of properties listed as vacation rentals transfer fully furnished and turnkey, including linens, kitchenware, hot tub equipment, and often the snowmobiles or ATVs. This matters because replacing a sled fleet and outfitting a cabin from scratch can easily run $40,000+. Confirm the inventory list in writing as part of your offer.
What should I check on the HOA before buying? ▾
Review current dues, the rental registration process, any cap on rental nights, snowmobile and watercraft rules, and reserve fund health. Soda Springs maintains private roads, gates, and recreation amenities, so HOA finances directly affect both your costs and your guests' experience.
