A historic mansion for $6,000 a night, a yacht for $750 a night or a lakefront home for $5,500 a night, including a private chef and boat with captain.
All are advertising themselves as places to stay when the Ryder Cup comes to Chaska in September and the Super Bowl comes to Minneapolis in two years.
Across the metro area, ordinary homeowners are thinking about whether to cash in on the action. They're watching rentals this week in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the 2016 Super Bowl takes place next Sunday, for clues about demand.
"The opportunities are going to be huge," said Luke Kleckner, a real estate agent who says the Super Bowl has helped him sell condos in a new tower just a few blocks from U.S. Bank Stadium. "There's just so much corporate money coming into the city. Some of these folks have a blank check and they'll pay just about anything for what they want."
While the Bay Area gave birth to the home-rental phenomenon and Phoenix, which hosted the Super Bowl last year, is a popular snowbird haven, the Twin Cities is relatively inexperienced when it comes to the vacation-home market, because, well — winter.
But that could change as the region hosts big sports events in the next few years. There are only about 40,000 hotel rooms in the Twin Cities area, far below the 100,000 in Greater New York City, which hosted the Super Bowl two years ago. Downtown Minneapolis has just 7,500, with about 1,500 to be added in the next two years, according to Meet Minneapolis, the city's convention and tourism association.
More than 125,000 out-of-town visitors are expected Super Bowl weekend, and the NFL will reserve 19,000 rooms for teams, officials, sponsors, staff and media. The result is likely to be lots of opportunity for home rentals.
"You've got this urban stadium and people will want to stay near there if they want to be where things are going on," said Ian McHenry, co-founder of Beyond Pricing, a San Francisco-based company that helps people price their homes for short-term rentals. "Looking at the number of hotel rooms that's in the area, which is incredibly low, and looking at how close everything is to each other, short-term rentals are ripe to go up a lot."
