FAQ

I primarily work with single-family homes located in Southern Vermont and the Upper Valley. Most properties in the Splendid Host portfolio are three to five bedrooms, but I occasionally work with smaller or larger homes if they are a strong fit.
I focus on properties that are thoughtfully maintained, comfortable for guests, and have a distinct sense of style. Splendid Host typically partners with second home owners who care deeply about their property and want it represented and managed with the same level of attention and care.
Hosting services are commission-based and range from 20-25% of booking revenue, depending on the booking channel and property needs.
There is also a one-time onboarding fee, which varies by property based on the level of preparation and set-up required.
After an introductory call and property visit, I will provide a customized onboarding and service proposal with pricing for you to review.
Send me a message to schedule an introductory call to discuss your property, goals, and hosting priorities. If it feels like the right fit for both of us, I will follow up with a customized service proposal and pricing for your review.
