Episode Details

Short-term rentals are fueling Montana’s economy with $755 million in revenue last year—thanks to 430,000 stays, 560 jobs, and $800 million added to GDP. Most spending?

The boom, sparked by pandemic demand, is cooling—but home shares and unique rentals show everyday Montanans are quietly driving this economic engine.
