We live here
Our team is based in the Upper Valley. When a pipe freezes in January or a guest can't find the driveway in a snowstorm, someone local shows up. No dispatch queue, no out-of-state contractor.

The Stay Vermont Difference
Local and boutique, on purpose
Large management companies run hundreds of listings from a call center. We chose the opposite. We keep our portfolio small so every home gets real attention from people who know these roads, these seasons and these towns.
02
We know each town's rules
Quechee Club association rules, Woodstock's short-term rental permits, Hartford and Pomfret zoning, Vermont rooms and meals tax. We work inside these rules every season for the homes we manage, so you aren't learning them the hard way.
03
Every home gets inspected
A dedicated local inspector walks each home before guests arrive. We don't just trust that the clean went well. That check is why our homes stay guest-ready and our owners hear about small issues before they become big ones.
Our Service Area
Focused on the Upper Valley
We'd rather be excellent in a few towns than average in many. Our core area is Quechee, Woodstock and Pomfret, plus the villages around them.
Quechee, VT
From the Quechee Club to homes above the Gorge. We manage the Modern Quechee Townhouse and know what drives demand here: foliage, the Balloon Festival, Dartmouth weekends and winter.
Woodstock, VT
Vermont's best-known village and one of its most regulated rental markets. We manage The Woodstock Bungalow under the town's permit rules and price every permitted night to earn its keep.
Reading, VT
Our coming-soon home in Reading, Vermont, is joining the Stay Vermont collection.
Also serving: Barnard · West Windsor · South Woodstock · Taftsville · Hartland · Bridgewater

Common Questions
Owner FAQ
What areas do you manage vacation rentals in?
Our core area is Quechee, Woodstock and Pomfret, Vermont. We also serve nearby Upper Valley villages including Barnard, West Windsor, South Woodstock, Taftsville and Hartland. We keep our area tight so our team is always close by.
What does Stay Vermont charge?
Our full-service fee is 25% of rental revenue, with marketing included. See our pricing page for what's covered.
What makes a boutique manager different from a big company?
Attention. We manage a small number of homes, so you get a dedicated local manager, an inspection before every guest arrival, and someone nearby when something goes wrong.
Can you help with Woodstock's short-term rental permit or Quechee Club rules?
Yes. We manage homes under both and help owners stay on top of local permit, association and Vermont tax requirements. Always confirm specifics with the town for your property.
Can I still use my home?
Absolutely. Block your dates in the owner portal and we'll plan around them.
