Timeline

From first hello to fully booked.

Here's what working with Maple & Mantel looks like, week by week. Most homes go live about two to three weeks after signing, depending on what the home needs.

Getting started

From your first request to a home that books on its own rhythm.

Typical time to go live

2 to 3 weeks

after signing, depending on what the home needs

  1. Day 1

    You ask for a free rental review

    Two minutes on our form: your address, listing link and a few details about the home.

  2. Within 3 business days

    Your review lands in your inbox

    How your home compares with similar homes nearby, what it could earn, three changes we'd make and what management would cost. Yours to keep, no obligation.

  3. Week 1

    A call, a walkthrough, a handshake

    We talk through your goals, walk the home with you and answer every question. If it's a fit, we sign.

  4. Weeks 1 to 3

    We get the home guest-ready

    A full property check, a deep clean and any fixes, new photos, a rebuilt listing, a guest guide for the house, and pricing and messaging set up.

  5. About weeks 3 to 4

    You're live

    Bookings open. From here we handle every guest, every turnover and every message.

  6. End of month 1

    Your first monthly report

    Bookings, revenue, guest feedback and what we did at the house, all on one page.

  7. Months 2 to 4

    We fine-tune

    With real bookings coming in, we adjust pricing, the listing and the guest experience until the home settles into its rhythm.

Behind the scenes

Every stay, handled.

What happens each time a guest books. You don't lift a finger.

01

Booking comes in

Priced right for the date, the season and what's happening in town.

02

Guest screened

We check who's coming before they get the keys.

03

Arrival made easy

Clear check-in steps and the house guide, sent before they leave home.

04

During the stay

Questions answered fast, and a personal check-in. Anything that needs a person, we're on it.

05

Turnover

Cleaned, restocked and checked to our standard, ready for the next guest.

06

Your monthly report

Every stay adds up to one clear statement at the end of the month.

Through the seasons

A year with us.

Winter

Ski-season pricing, plowing and heat plans, and fast turnovers on busy weekends.

Spring

A seasonal check of the home and pricing set to keep quieter weeks booked.

Summer

Family trips, longer stays and outdoor spaces ready for guests.

Fall

Foliage weekends priced to match demand, and the house made winter-ready.

All year: a report every month, and a call whenever you want one.
