Professionally managed, Ski.com vacation rentals ensure accountability and amenities.
ASPEN, COLO. – When booking a ski vacation, many travelers often prefer a classic lodge, cozy chalet or a slopeside condo to other accommodations, making vacation rentals a popular choice for skiers. However, whether the rental property chosen is managed by the owner directly or a vacation rental management company can have a huge impact on the overall experience.
A survey of more than 7,100 people by Ski.com in collaboration with Wyndham Vacation Rentals illustrates the fear travelers have when it comes to vacation rentals. The results showed that:
- 38 percent fear being misled by photos that misrepresent the unit’s location and/or interior
- 26 percent are afraid of renting a dirty unit
- 23 percent worry scammers will steal their payment
- 13 percent report their biggest concern is either a lack of housekeeping and in-unit amenities, navigating a difficult check-in or not having onsite management
To help travelers find a trusted rental option and provide peace-of-mind, Ski.com offers the largest, most diverse collection of professionally managed vacation rentals in Ski Country.
“Booking a vacation rental directly from an owner can expose travelers to unnecessary risks that can be easily avoided by booking through Ski.com,” said Kathy Harding, Ski.com managing director of hospitality. “Why gamble on a rental that might be risky from booking through check out? At Ski.com, we know the ins and outs of our vast collection of vacation rentals, and we ensure travelers get the accountability, cleanliness and security they cannot necessarily count on when renting from a stranger.”
Professionally managed, vacation rentals offered by Ski.com, such as those managed by Wyndham Vacation Rentals, offer a straightforward check-in process, housekeeping services and in-unit amenities like coffee and toiletries, onsite management and no laborious checkout requirements. Plus, many Ski.com vacation rentals include ski-vacation staples like hot tubs, ski-in/ski-out locales and on-demand shuttle services.
“We applaud Ski.com for educating the ski traveler on the benefits of professionally managed vacation rentals,” said Bill Anderson, vice president, operations, Western region. “It’s a goal we share together, as well as the reason we created the Vacation Rental Bill of Rights, a service pledge to guests that lets them know they’ll have a great experience.”
Ranging from studios with kitchens to private homes with more than six bedrooms, Ski.com vacation rentals can be packaged with discounted lift tickets, flights, equipment rentals, ski school and more. Here are some examples of vacation rental deals that include lift tickets.
