Key Results
A Vacation Home That Needed to Work as Hard as They Do
Jaime and Jared bought their Breckenridge home near Peak 8 to enjoy as a family. But between their own trips, they wanted the property earning real income rather than sitting empty. The challenge: finding a management partner who could maximize revenue around the family's schedule, while keeping the home in perfect condition for when they arrive.
Balancing Family Use and Revenue
The family blocks significant time for their own stays throughout the year. Every available rental night has to count, because there are fewer of them than a full-time rental property.
Guest Experience Consistency
With the family treating this as their own home, guest care had to be impeccable. One bad review or one damaged item could ruin the experience for the owners on their next visit.
Long-Term Reliability
This wasn't a short-term arrangement. Jaime and Jared needed a management partner they could trust year after year, not just for one ski season.
Seamless Calendar Management and Consistent Care
LocalVR's Breckenridge team built a management approach designed for vacation homeowners: flexible scheduling, meticulous property care, and revenue optimization on every available night.
Flexible Calendar Coordination
Owner stays and rental bookings managed seamlessly. The family blocks their dates, and our team fills the remaining nights with revenue-optimized bookings around their schedule.
Ski Season Revenue Maximization
December through March drives roughly 70% of annual revenue. Our pricing strategy captures peak demand during holidays, powder days, and spring break to make every winter night count.
LocalShield Protection
$30,000 in guest-caused damage coverage plus $1M in liability protection on every reservation. Critical for vacation homeowners who expect their home in perfect condition.
Guest Experience Excellence
4.9 check-in and 4.9 communication scores across 109 reviews. Every guest interaction managed by our local team to protect both the home's reputation and the owners' experience.
Five Years, 109 Reviews, and a Guest Favorite Badge
Over five years of continuous partnership, Settlers Ridge Retreat has become one of Breckenridge's most reviewed and highest-rated properties near Peak 8. With 109 Airbnb reviews averaging 4.83 stars, the property earned both Superhost status and the coveted Guest Favorite badge.
The consistency tells the story: a 3-year average of $111K in annual gross revenue, with ski season alone driving roughly 70% of that total. December ADR has climbed from $702 to $938 over three years, and near-perfect subcategory scores (4.9 for check-in, 4.9 for communication, 4.9 for location) keep guests coming back year after year. All while Jaime and Jared still enjoy their mountain home whenever they want.
"This has always been our family's home first, and that's never changed. LocalVR works around our schedule, keeps the property in better shape than we could ourselves, and still puts six figures in our pocket every year. Five years and 109 reviews later, we couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else."— Jaime, Breckenridge Homeowner
