Hinton
at a glance.
Hinton is a town in Yellowhead County, Alberta, sitting on Highway 16 (the Yellowhead Highway) approximately 75 km east of the Jasper National Park east gate. Population is roughly 10,000 year-round residents. The town's short-term rental market is sustained almost entirely by Jasper-bound tourism — visitors who want park access without Jasper-townsite prices and locked-up summer availability.
Market size is approximately 89 active short-term rental listings (AirDNA, 2026). Median annual revenue is approximately $33,500 per listing at a $217 average nightly rate and 53.4% occupancy. Top-quartile properties — those with strong photography, prime Jasper-corridor positioning, and amenities like hot tubs — typically earn $45,000-$55,000 per year. Bottom-quartile properties earn closer to $18,000.
What makes Hinton resilient as a market is its four-season demand profile. Summer is the strongest period, driven by Jasper visitation that has only intensified since the 2024 wildfire reduced in-park lodging capacity. Winter is a strong secondary season for Marmot Basin skiing (45 minutes west) and ice climbing in the surrounding canyons. Shoulder seasons hold up better than most Alberta mountain-corridor markets because of two non-tourist demand drivers: business travel related to the West Fraser pulp mill and the Hinton-area industrial corridor, and outdoor recreation traffic on the Athabasca River and the Bighorn Wildland.
The regulatory environment is moderately strict for an Alberta mountain market. The Town of Hinton requires a business licence for STR operations under its Land Use Bylaw. Most residential and commercial land use designations permit STRs with a licence, but specific zones have restrictions and condo developments often have additional bylaws. We review your property's specific designation as part of onboarding and handle the licence application.
For investors, Hinton is appealing as a defensible play on Jasper's structural under-supply. With Jasper townsite running at near-permanent capacity and STR caps in place there, demand reliably overflows east to Hinton — and the town's relatively affordable acquisition costs (versus Canmore or Banff) produce some of the strongest gross yields in any Alberta mountain corridor market.
ThreeBNB manages Hinton properties through contracted local cleaning partners and remote dispatch. Owners receive the same pricing engine, 24/7 guest desk, AI quality inspection, and live owner dashboard as our Edmonton portfolio. Management fee is 15% of gross monthly revenue, all-in.
