Vacation rental & home management ยท Durango, Colorado

Your home in the mountains, cared for while you're away.

We live here, we'll know your home by name, and you can always reach us.

Your home

You and your home come first.

Your home should earn well while you're away, and still feel like your home when you come back. Plenty of owners here feel the same way, and the house matters more to them than the revenue.

Your weeks stay yours

Block the dates you want, any time. Everything else is planned around them.

The rest of the year earns

We rent the weeks you're away for strong income, with guests and stays that are right for your home.

It's treated like ours

Guests are screened, the home is checked after every stay, and small issues get fixed before they grow.

Not planning to rent? We'll look after the home on its own.

What we do

Caring for your home, and renting it when you want to.

Vacation rental management

Your home earns income when you're not using it, and you never deal with a guest, a booking or a tax form.

What that involves

  • Guests, bookings, cleaning and taxes handled
  • Short-term and monthly stays
  • Listed and priced for your home
  • Your own dates blocked whenever you want them

Home management

You know your home is in good shape, even when you haven't been there in months, and it's ready the day you arrive.

What that involves

  • Regular visits, with a short report and photos
  • Freeze and storm checks through winter
  • Your vendors and projects coordinated
  • The house opened, warmed and stocked before you come

Standards

What you can hold us to.

Any hour

You're not the one who gets the call

Guests and alarms reach us. Day or night, we pick up and get the right person on it, and you hear from us about anything that matters.

Every visit

You always know how your home is doing

After each visit you get a short note with photos, and we keep a record of your home's preferences, vendors and quirks.

At cost

No surprises on your statement

Cleaning is billed at what the cleaner charges, and every charge is listed with what it was for.

Filed

No tax paperwork for you

Lodging and sales tax on every stay is collected, filed and paid for you. If the county's rules change, we keep you current.

Get in touch

Tell us about your home.

  1. Tell us a little about your home.
  2. We meet with you to understand your goals, your home, and what you need from us.
  3. You get a plan for your home, with an income estimate if renting is part of it.

For agents

Your client stays your client.

  • Before your buyer writes an offer, we'll tell you whether the rental plan holds up.
  • A property-specific income estimate you can put in front of a buyer.
  • We never take the listing on a home we manage for your client.
