Grand Junction: The Beatrice Estate

7-Bedroom House

Challenge

After successfully managing a nightly rental on her own, Laura decided to invest in a larger home that would generate more income. Laura wanted a management partner to help in this venture, originally signing with a large, corporate manager where things quickly went awry. The company made big promises, but didn’t follow through, and their onboarding process proved to be a nightmare. In addition, they had no local team and no local contacts for cleaning contractors and other services the home would need. In all the chaos, Laura decided to take over management herself until she could find a better partner, only to then be forced to deal with 2 double bookings due to calendar issues from the previous manager.

  • Previous manager oversold and under-delivered 
  • Wanted a reliable, local management partner
  • Previous manager had no on-site team or contractors
  • Frustrated with slow on-boarding process

Solution

After struggling through a year of managing all tasks alone, Laura was introduced to the Cooley family with SkyRun Grand Junction. She immediately liked that they were a local, family-run business that knew the area and the rental market. At the time of signing with SkyRun, Laura was receiving reservations from multiple third-party websites, and the SkyRun team helped her track down all these reservations and get them centralized in one system. In addition, SkyRun brings a personal touch and a level of care that guests notice—they don’t cut corners on supplies which leads to a better experience for guests.

  • SkyRun provides a local, on-site team
  • SkyRun stepped up to help manage all aspects of the home
  • SkyRun has the resources and tools of a larger company
  • SkyRun provides an exceptional guest experience

Results

Since SkyRun took over, Laura has been happy with the occupancy and care of her home. She likes that she has a local team that she can depend on while still having the backing of a large company.

Testimonial

I love the SkyRun model. I like that they have the tools in place of a big company, but the fact there is a team here locally is the big difference. It’s a small, hands-on, family-owned business, but with the feel of a much larger company.
