There's a $2 billion theme park near to breaking ground outside of Vinita, OK - that has to mean surveyors, construction crews, marketing people and lots more are going to need short-term housing there over the next two years or so.
Anybody do Airbnb or other short-term rentals in Oklahoma outside the major cities? Anybody have any experience with this type of boom market? I've got rental properties but no first-hand experience with short term rentals so this would be a new game for me.

I don't know if you're from the Tulsa area, but I was born, raised, and lived in Oklahoma until I was 25. If this park is built as they are planning now, I'll be surprised. They picked an area of Oklahoma that literally has nothing, just to sustain the park is going to be a struggle. They also have contracted out the RV park and other lodging to major STR operators, and there won't be a shortage of places with how many they have planned.
I would suggest waiting and seeing what happens with the park before getting any STR in area. If it goes in as planned then ok, but if they cut out some of the plans definitely pick a different area.
I have some connections to the area but I'm in Connecticut.
Good perspective, I appreciate the info. They're supposed to break ground soon if they're on track so if this is really happening it seems we'll know shortly.

Yes, I believe they did break ground...I'm just wondering if they'll complete the entire project.
