How Boulder County Families Can Benefit From The Sundance Film Festival Coming to Colorado
There is an unmistakable buzz across the Front Range: the Sundance Film Festival is officially coming to Boulder County from January 21–31, 2027! For the first time in over 40 years, world-renowned filmmakers, artists, and tens of thousands of film enthusiasts will gather against the backdrop of the Flatirons.
While the festival brings world-class cinema right to our doorstep, it also brings a massive demand for lodging that local hotels simply cannot accommodate on their own. For families in Boulder, Superior, Louisville, Lafayette, and surrounding communities, this presents a unique opportunity: renting out your home during the festival window.
Renting your home during Sundance isn't just about opening your doors to moviegoers, it’s an opportunity to benefit your family in more ways than one.
A Great Chance For Extra Income
With thousands of visitors seeking comfortable, whole-home accommodations near the theaters, rental rates during peak festival days are at an all-time high. Renting your home for those 11 days can generate substantial revenue, whether you want to fund a dream winter getaway, invest in home improvements, or boost your savings.
Even better? Under IRS Section 280A(g) (often called the Augusta Rule) homeowners who rent their primary residence for 14 days or fewer in a calendar year may be eligible to receive that income free from federal taxes. (Be sure to check with your CPA or tax advisor for your specific situation!)
We’ll also dig into the Augusta Rule a bit more in the coming weeks, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
A Built-In Reason to Declutter & Organize
Have you been meaning to downsize, streamline, or declutter your living spaces, but kept putting it off? Preparing a home for short-term guests provides the perfect momentum.
Working through your home space by space allows you to keep what brings you joy, pass along what you no longer need, and create a calm, functional space. The festival may be the occasion, but the lasting gift is a happier, organized home long after the credits roll, and we’ll be there side-by-side with you throughout the entire process.
Total Peace of Mind Before and After Sundance
It’s completely natural to feel hesitant about letting strangers into a space filled with a lifetime of memories.
There are so many questions to consider! Where do family heirlooms go? Who protects the personal photos and private documents? And who puts everything back?
Well, that’s where we here at Square One come in. Our team specializes in handling your personal belongings with care, discretion, and respect.
We’ll make the entire process seamless, so you and your family can enjoy all of the benefits of renting your home without any of the stress. Here’s what you can expect:
Before the Festival: We work with you to sort personal items, create detailed written and photo inventories, secure valuables, and present your home as a welcoming retreat for guests.
