Shenandoah/Luray/Massanutten Area STR Owner Experience

[Josh Sisley]

Hi everyone,

I am currently looking to purchase an STR in the Luray, Shenandoah or Massanutten area and would really appreciate any feedback that current owners have, either good or bad. 

I have already looked at Airdna and also used the "enemy method" to check out properties currently listed on Airbnb. When doing the enemy method I am finding pretty low occupancy on most listings but Airdna shows much higher occupancy. Is there something I am missing? Are there any current STR investors in the area who wouldn't mind chatting about what they are seeing in the area?

Please feel free to comment on this post with your experience or reach out to me directly. I really appreciate any insight that others could give!
