Grow Your Portfolio — With a Partner Who Gets It

At Golden Vacation Rentals, we believe every host deserves to succeed—especially those who share our love for the outdoors. Whether you run a marina, a cozy cabin resort, or a family-friendly campground, we know what it takes to make your property stand out and thrive.

We’re not just a booking service. We’re a hands-on management partner who understands the unique joys (and challenges) of running nature-inspired stays. Our team has deep experience in outdoor hospitality, smart tech, and guest experience—so you can focus on what you love, while we help you maximize returns and keep guests coming back.

We've Dealt with it all - Now You Don't Have To

When you work with us you’re not just working with a team that has a proven track record of turning low occupancy rentals into money making machines. You’re working with a team that’s dealt with issues that are specific to nature focused rentals… For Example…

The Big City Photographer vs. The Muddy Marina

We once hired a hotshot city photographer to capture our beautiful lakeside cabins. He arrived in crisp white sneakers and skinny jeans—right after a week of rain. Five steps in, he was ankle-deep in mud, clutching his camera for dear life and asking if “there was a Starbucks nearby.” He left with great photos—and a new appreciation for rubber boots.

The WiFi Wanderer

A guest called, frantic that the WiFi wasn’t working at their rustic cabin. We explained it’s a “getaway in nature” experience. Turns out, they’d packed three laptops, two tablets, and a VR headset for their “outdoor adventure.” Thanks to our concierge team, they ended up loving the board games and s’mores… once they realized the only streaming happening was on the river.

The Bear-ly Prepared Host

A brand new (city-dwelling) host insisted on greeting every guest personally for her new weekend retreat business—until the day a curious bear wandered through the property during check-in. The host’s “welcome basket” was never seen again, and now our onboarding includes a quick lesson on local wildlife… and snack storage.

The Squirrelly Maintenance Call

Years ago, an owner called about “guests are complaining about strange noises in the walls.” We sent our on-site maintenance guy, who discovered a family of squirrels had made themselves at home—complete with a stash of acorns in the guest room closet. The guests? They named the squirrels and left a five-star review for the “authentic forest experience.”

The Overzealous Outdoor Influencer

We hosted a travel influencer who promised “epic content” for our cabins. She arrived with a suitcase full of outfits, a ring light, and zero bug spray. By sunset, she’d made friends with every mosquito in the county and was last seen filming a “nature survival” story—with a net hat and two cans of repellent.

 

Managing an outdoor rental property comes with its fair share of surprises—and a lot of laughs along the way. But behind every muddy mishap or wildlife encounter, there’s a real need for support, expertise, and a team that gets what makes outdoor hospitality so unique.

That’s where we come in.

 At Golden Vacation Rentals, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to help you turn every adventure—expected or not—into a five-star experience for your guests and reliable returns for you.

Whether you’re a hands-on owner who loves being in the thick of things, or someone who’d rather let the experts handle every detail, we’ve built our management packages to fit your style, your property, and your goals.

 

Here’s how we make outdoor rental management easier, more profitable, and a lot less squirrelly:
