Why Beulah Is One of Michigan's Best Vacation Rental Markets
Beulah carries 80 active listings, but the draw runs far wider than that — about 314,675 people within an hour's drive, 2.1 million within two hours, and 4.7 million within three, pulling toward Grand Rapids. The market scores 85 — a strong tier — with a gross yield of 12.49%, running 6.4 points above the Michigan yield figure of 6.1%. Typical home value here (Zillow index) runs about $398,792. Market-wide averages across every listing — most of them self-managed by owner-operators, without professional pricing or multi-channel distribution — put the average listing at $49,819, the top quartile at $57,732, and the top tenth at $75,887. ROAM brings dynamic pricing, multi-channel distribution, and professional operations to full-service vacation rental management in Beulah. Regulation is friendly: no permit is required in Beulah, and Benzie County has no countywide STR ordinance, though it charges a 2% accommodation tax and the state applies a 6% use tax on stays under 30 days. See the Benzie County hub or Honor nearby — ROAM is Michigan's data-driven alternative to Vacasa and Evolve, so start with a revenue assessment.
Best Times to Rent Your Beulah Vacation Property
Beulah's revenue swings sharply across the calendar: July brings the highest revenue of the year, and February the lowest, with July running about 6.28 times February's revenue. That's a wide peak-to-trough spread, and it puts real weight on how shoulder-season pricing is handled between those two ends of the calendar — a swing this size rewards careful attention to the months bracketing summer, not just the peak itself. ROAM's approach adjusts pricing month to month to track that seasonal curve.
