Holiday offers close-to-town skiing.

According to Zillow Market Trends, recent median rent sits around $2,000, with most listings ranging roughly $1,400–$3,000+. The vibe is friendly and pet friendly, with walkable lakeside pockets and quiet residential streets, and it’s a quick hop to downtown galleries, festivals, and restaurants.
