At Auntie Belham’s Cabin Rentals, we truly care about our property owners above all else. Without you, we wouldn’t be in business. We understand the hard work that went into purchasing your investment property, and we’re committed to working just as hard to maximize its success for you! Effective management not only maximizes your rental’s profitability but also ensures smooth operations, guest satisfaction, and long-term value. Let us take the stress off your shoulders while protecting and growing your investment.
You’ve likely heard all this before, but we’ll make it real. You can pick any cabin on our website and we will introduce you to that owner as a reference. Each of them knows we care about them and will be happy to talk to you. We keep our inventory small to focus on our singular mission of owner care. When you’re ready for the attentive service you deserve, please reach out to us!
“I have been with Auntie Belham’s for over 20 years with my two vacation cabins, and I have always been pleased with them. They have always treated me with great care in a family-like atmosphere. I get advertisements to switch to other vendors with glorious promises and lower commissions, but I am a member for life with Auntie Belham because I know they deliver! If anyone is switching rental managers, put Auntie Belham’s at the top of the list.”

A well-maintained home is an important part of a positive vacation experience as well as your long term return on investment. For existing vacation rentals, that means constant maintenance and improvements are needed to keep up with this changing market. In addition to keeping owners informed about the condition and maintenance requirements of their property, our in-house maintenance department provides timely responses, 7 days per week to guest-reported maintenance problems. A software work order system is used to record and track all maintenance work performed on each home. Information on maintenance work completed and monies expended from the owner’s account is shown on each monthly accounting statement.
