For a 5-bedroom chalet in Notre-Dame-des-Bois, near Mont-Mégantic and the International Dark Sky Reserve, a realistic annual gross rental income would range between $40,000 and $80,000, depending on the quality of the property, its location, amenities (spa, views, lake access, game room, etc.), and rental strategy.
For a well-appointed 5-bedroom chalet accommodating 10 to 12 guests, a nightly rate between $300 and $450 is generally more realistic than the average market rate of $128, which also includes smaller cabins and 1--2 bedroom chalets.
Assuming 50% Annual Occupancy (Approximately 182 Days) At $280/day: $50,960 At $350/day: $63,700 At $400/day: $72,800
During peak seasons--summer, construction holidays, fall foliage season, and the Christmas/New Year holidays--both occupancy rates and nightly rates increase significantly in the Mont-Mégantic region.
For a buyer-oriented investment analysis, I would personally use:
A conservative projection of $50,000 to $60,000 in annual gross revenue. An optimistic projection of $70,000 to $80,000 annually if the chalet is a premium property featuring a spa, scenic views, and strong Airbnb marketing. A Turnkey Property Combining Modern Living, Comfort, Quality, and Nature
