Airbnb/Vacation Rentals in NH

[Stefanie Willie-Bonglo]

Hello All, we are looking to acquire some vacation rentals in the Lake  Winnipesaukee area  (Laconia, Gilford etc). I was planning to rent them out on a weekly basis using Airbnb and wanted some feedback from anyone that has done this before? How is the market? Are rentals often vacant?  Does anyone know of a resource where you can find average rates for vacation rentals in a particular area? I have already looked on Airbnb and also home away.com. 

Thanks!
