What is your management fee?

Our fee is a percentage of gross rental revenue — no hidden charges, no surprise line items. The exact rate depends on your property type and location. We'll share the full breakdown during your free consultation.

Is there a long-term contract?

We offer flexible agreements. We're confident enough in our service that we don't need to lock you in. If you want to part ways, we make it easy.

Does my property need to meet certain requirements?

We look for properties that are well-maintained, appropriately furnished for guests, and located in or near Estes Park. During our property visit, we'll flag anything that might need attention before listing.

When and how do I get paid?

Owner payouts are processed monthly. You'll receive a detailed statement breaking down revenue, expenses, and your net — deposited directly into your bank account.

Who pays for repairs and maintenance?

Routine maintenance costs are passed through to you at our negotiated vendor rates — no markup. For anything beyond minor repairs, we contact you first with a quote before any work is authorized.

Can I block dates for personal use?

Absolutely. Your home is still your home. Block dates anytime through the owner portal — no fees, no questions asked.

Do you allow pets in managed properties?

That's your call. We can list your property as pet-friendly or pet-free based on your preference. Pet-friendly properties do tend to book at higher rates.

Do you manage condos or multi-unit properties?

Yes. We manage a mix of stand-alone cabins, single-family homes, and condos in the Estes Park area. Multi-unit owners with several properties are welcome — we'll tailor a management plan to fit.

What owners say.

Karen M.

Wildwood Lane, Estes Park

“We interviewed three management companies before choosing Estes Retreats. The difference was obvious — they actually showed up, walked our property, and knew the neighborhood. Our revenue is up 40% from self-managing, and we haven't had a single maintenance headache in two years.”

Rick T.

Fall River Road

“I live in Denver and used to drive up every weekend to deal with guest turnovers myself. Now I just check the owner portal on my phone. The team handles everything — and honestly, they do it better than I did.”

David & Erin P.

Prospect Mountain

“What sold us was the transparency. Monthly statements are clear, fees are straightforward, and when something needs fixing they call us first with a quote instead of just billing us. That trust is everything.”

Your property deserves a neighbor, not a call center.

National management chains route your guest calls to agents in other states. They've never driven Highway 7 in a snowstorm or called Dave at Peak Plumbing at midnight. Our team lives here. We know your property by name, not by account number. When a pipe freezes at 2 a.m., we're fifteen minutes away — not waiting for a contractor to fly in from Phoenix. That difference shows up in your reviews, your repeat booking rate, and your peace of mind. Local relationships with cleaners, handymen, and inspectors mean faster service and better prices. And because we manage a focused collection of 33 homes — not hundreds — we give your property the attention it deserves.
