In this week’s Monday Market Data Report, Mark Lumpkin breaks down the short-term rental amenity data for Bend, a popular mountain destination known for skiing, outdoor recreation, breweries, and year-round tourism.

Using data from STR Search, this episode looks at which amenities top-performing properties are using to outperform their competition—and how much additional revenue those features can generate.

Here’s what the data shows in Bend:

• Hot Tubs (59%) → +$16,834/year
 • Fire Pits (34%) → +$2,276/year
 • Home Gyms (11%) → +$8,004/year
 • Saunas (6%) → +$8,839/year

The biggest takeaway? Bend is still lightly amenitized compared to many other STR markets.

Some amenities—like pickleball courts and game rooms—are so rare they barely show up in the data, meaning investors who add them could dramatically differentiate their properties.

If you're investing in Bend or considering a mountain market, this episode breaks down the amenities that can give your property a competitive edge.
