Short-Term Rental Management

We manage short-term rentals. Including our own.

BW Property Group is a short-term rental management company operating across five U.S. markets. We run two arms: a portfolio of properties we own outright, and a cohosting business managing luxury rentals on behalf of other owners.

Business Description

What we do

Short-term rentals are a business that looks passive and isn't. A single property generates dozens of decisions a week — what to charge tonight, which guest needs a response, who's cleaning Thursday, why last month underperformed. Owners either absorb that work themselves or hand it to a management company that treats their home like inventory. BW Property Group exists in the gap between those two options.

The problems we solve

01

Owning is a full-time job

Most short-term rental owners bought an asset and inherited an operations business they never wanted. Turnovers, maintenance calls, guest messages at midnight, pricing decisions every single night. The income is real; so is the workload. We take the operation and leave the owner with the asset.

02

Big managers treat homes like inventory

National management companies scale by standardizing. Owners become account numbers, properties become listings, and the local knowledge that makes a luxury home rent well disappears. We stay boutique deliberately — direct owner relationships, real market expertise, and a manager who answers his own phone.

03

Underperformance is invisible

A property can rent steadily and still leave serious money behind — mispriced weekends, missed local demand, past guests never contacted again. Owners rarely have the data to see it. Our job is to find that gap on every property we touch, whether we own it or manage it.

Who we serve

  • Property owners — individuals who own high-value vacation homes, want the rental income, and don't want the operational burden. Concentrated in Aspen and the Colorado mountain markets. This is our cohosting client.
  • Guests — families and groups renting our properties, from ultra-luxury Aspen mountain homes to large-group event rentals. They get fast responses, thorough information, and a consistent stay.
  • Ourselves — our own portfolio is the proving ground. We don't sell an owner a management model we haven't already run on a property we paid for.

What We Offer

Two arms, one operation

The work is nearly identical on both sides — same standards, same markets, same playbook. The difference is contractual: on one side we're the owner, on the other we're the manager.

Cohosting Arm

AdventureNest

Active · Expanding

Our management brand. We operate luxury short-term rentals on behalf of property owners, concentrated in Aspen, Colorado and the surrounding Colorado mountain markets. The owner keeps the asset and the upside; we run everything else and earn a management fee. The model is deliberately boutique — a small number of properties, direct relationships with each owner, and deep knowledge of the markets we operate in rather than broad coverage of markets we don't.

Currently managing properties in Aspen and Bailey, with an additional Golden, Colorado property onboarding. Our stated growth objective is five new Aspen management clients by the end of 2026.

What owners get

  • Full-service listing management across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct channels
  • Nightly pricing and revenue strategy
  • End-to-end guest communication and concierge service
  • Turnover, cleaning, and vendor coordination
  • Maintenance management and property inspections
  • Monthly owner reporting and performance review

Ownership Arm

BW Property Group Portfolio

Active · 6 Properties

Properties we own outright and operate ourselves. We acquire, renovate, furnish, launch, and run each one — and we carry the full economics, which means every operational shortcut costs us directly. This arm is both a revenue business and the reason the management side works: every process we sell to an owner has already been run against a property where we were the ones absorbing the mistakes.

Six properties across South Bend, Indiana; Evergreen, Colorado; and Sevierville, Tennessee — a deliberate mix of large-group event demand, weekend mountain-getaway demand, and year-round tourism demand.

What we do

  • Property acquisition and market selection
  • Renovation and full interior design build-out
  • Photography, listing creation, and market launch
  • Day-to-day operations across the full portfolio
  • Revenue management and pricing strategy

Where we own

  • South Bend, Indiana — 2 properties
  • Evergreen, Colorado — 3 properties
  • Sevierville, Tennessee — 1 property

Model

  • Revenue: direct owner-operator income

Team

Who runs this

Brandon Wood, Founder and CEO of BW Property Group

Brandon Wood

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Brandon founded BW Property Group and its cohosting brand, AdventureNest, and leads both arms of the business — the owned portfolio and the management side.

His path into short-term rentals started with roughly two decades vacationing in Aspen with his family. That's the origin of the local market knowledge AdventureNest's luxury management model is built on, and the reason the brand competes on market expertise and owner relationships rather than scale. He has since grown the company into a seven-property, five-market operation spanning ultra-luxury resort towns, large-group event markets, and year-round tourism corridors.

Brandon works both sides of the industry at once — owner-operator on his own portfolio, third-party manager on his clients'. That dual position is the company's core advantage: he tests every operating decision against properties where he carries the downside himself before recommending it to an owner who's trusting him with theirs.

He holds direct relationships with every owner the company manages for and sets revenue and pricing strategy across the portfolio.
