Buying a resort in California
California resorts range from Palm Springs mid-century revivals to Tahoe ski lodges and wine-country retreats, with high rates and year-round demand.
Resorts are destination businesses with multiple revenue streams — lodging, cabins, food and beverage, marina or ski operations, events and weddings. Family-run lake and mountain resorts are increasingly coming to market as long-time owners retire, creating openings for lifestyle buyers and operators alike.
