Rent Your Home for the Sundance FF

The Sundance Film Festival makes its landmark Boulder debut January 21–31, 2027 — and the demand for local lodging will be extraordinary. With only approximately 2,900 hotel rooms in the city and an expected 85,000+ in-person attendees, savvy Boulder homeowners have a rare and lucrative opportunity to earn substantial rental income. This guide walks you through everything you need to know, from obtaining the right license to pricing your home, managing logistics, navigating taxes, and avoiding common pitfalls.

The Lodging Gap: Why This Opportunity Is Extraordinary

The numbers tell a clear story. Boulder is about to host one of the most celebrated film festivals in the world — and it simply does not have enough hotel rooms to accommodate the crowd. 

85,000+Expected In-Person Attendees ~2900 Hotel Rooms in Boulder

The Gap: 82,100+ visitors with no hotel room in Boulder.

Boulder's hotels can accommodate roughly 1 in every 29 attendees. Private home rentals are not a supplement — they are the primary lodging solution. Festival attendees, filmmakers, industry professionals, and media who cannot find hotel rooms in Boulder will pay premium prices for private homes — especially those in walkable neighborhoods near Pearl Street, CU Boulder, Chautauqua, and the Hill. If your home is well-prepared and appropriately priced, expect strong demand well before the festival opens.

Small Steps Create Big Shifts

Confidence doesn’t always arrive with a bold entrance. Sometimes, it builds quietly, step by step, as we show up for ourselves day after day. It grows when we choose to try, even when we’re unsure of the outcome. Every time you take action despite self-doubt, you reinforce the belief that you’re capable. Confidence isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about trusting that you can figure it out along the way.

The key to making things happen isn’t waiting for the perfect moment; it’s starting with what you have, where you are. Big goals can feel overwhelming when viewed all at once, but momentum builds through small, consistent action. Whether you’re working toward a personal milestone or a professional dream, progress comes from showing up — not perfectly, but persistently. Action creates clarity, and over time, those steps forward add up to something real.

You don’t need to be fearless to reach your goals, you just need to be willing. Willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to believe that you’re capable of more than you know. The road may not always be smooth, but growth rarely is. What matters most is that you keep going, keep learning, and keep believing in the version of yourself you’re becoming.
