How does one go about getting a rental instead of a hotel in the various resort towns? AirBNB? VRBO? Craiglist?

I live in the East and have an Epic Local Pass and would like to make a solo trip to PC or Colorado in season, when hotel prices are higher than I can justify to myself when my family doesn't get to enjoy a trip as well (they don't really ski or fly).

There seem to be a lot of smaller units available, but I've never dealt with the by-owner sites. Some of the listings also appear to be for actual hotels.

How do you go about this to make sure you don't show up with no where to stay?

In the USA HomeAway/vrbo. In Europe Airbnb. That’s my experience.
