We aim for nothing less than 5 stars
We believe in creating a unique and memorable guest experience, that guests will want to revisit again and again.
The secret to a successful investment is 5 stars. Resulting in increased revenue from higher nightly prices and higher occupancy rates. But we also realize that it’s a journey – a journey to 5 stars. With improvements and investments over time, acting on guest feedback, your property continuously improves over time, and stays there, and we’re here to help you do that.
Our background
We tested our approach on our own investment properties. After buying our first vacation rental at Giants Ridge in northern Minnesota we gave it “The Works” and increased the annual revenue by 283% in the first year. We continued this trend with our second vacation rental in Lutsen Minnesota, making a record five figures in rental income in our third month. Visit the Our Work page to see the before and afters.
