The idea for Landing Locals started shortly after we moved to Truckee, CA in Fall 2018 to start a family in the mountains. We had assumed it would be easy to find a long-term rental. Boy, were we wrong!

We soon found that we weren’t alone in the struggle to secure a home. We also discovered that the majority of the housing stock in the area is vacation properties that sit empty much of the year, or are rented as short-term rentals. That was when the lightbulb went off and the idea for Landing Locals was born. Through an innovative approach and trusted online platform, we connect vacation-home owners and renters with the goal of finding all people stable housing in resort towns — whether that’s seasonal or long-term.
