Owning a vacation rental in the mountains can mean managing two businesses at once: hospitality for guests and ongoing care for the property itself. Reservations, pricing and marketing have to work alongside cleaning, repairs, inspections and the seasonal maintenance demanded by snow and freezing temperatures. The Best of Grand contest features vacation rental and property management companies that approach those responsibilities from different angles, from full-service booking management to hands-on property care.

The Winter Park company handles multi-platform marketing, dynamic pricing and guest concierge services while coordinating professional housekeeping and providing 24/7 on-call property maintenance. Its model gives second-home owners a single management operation for both guest bookings and continuing property oversight.
