Built a Great Operation – But Feeling Stretched by the Day-to-Day?

We support multi-property vacation rental owners and boutique hotels with calm, reliable guest operations that protect reviews and revenue without adding internal headcount.

What We Do

Operational Support Designed to Scale

You’ve already built a strong vacation rental or boutique operation.
Our role is to help you run it more calmly, consistently, and sustainably – without being tied to the day-to-day or rushing into a full internal hire.
We work alongside established owners and operators to take operational pressure off their shoulders, strengthen systems behind the scenes, and protect the guest experience that drives long-term revenue.
In practice, that means:
• Stable revenue performance through thoughtful pricing oversight, listing optimization, and operational consistency.
• Protected five-star reviews driven by proactive guest communication and clearly defined service standards.
• Less operational firefighting, with reliable systems, calm problem-solving, and clear accountability.
• Support that scales with you, designed for operators managing multiple properties or growing portfolios.

We work with properties across Western Canada, combining hands-on hospitality leadership with data-driven decision making to support both the guest experience and bottom line.
Whether you’re looking for ongoing operational support or targeted help stabilizing a growing operation, we meet you where you are – and help you more forward with confidence.

Hosting Solutions for Vacation Rentals

We help vacation rental owners earn more, stress less, and deliver consistently excellent guest experiences — without being on call 24/7.

Running a successful vacation rental isn’t just about having a great property. It’s about pricing it correctly, responding to guests quickly, handling issues before they become problems, and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. That’s where we come in.

The outcomes you can expect:

• More consistent revenue through proactive pricing, calendar management, and listing optimisation
• Stronger guest reviews driven by thoughtful communication and clear expectations from booking to checkout
• Fewer operational headaches with systems that anticipate issues instead of reacting to them
• Confidence that your property is in good hands, even when you’re not nearby

We act as an extension of you — protecting your asset, your reputation, and your time.

Extraordinary professional and knowledgeable! Norman was an exceptional mentor for us. It has been an honor to work with someone of his calibre and rare to find! We were impressed with his ability to self-manage and his organization skills, keeping our projects moving forward no matter our availabilities. Norman put his heart and soul into his work. He gives you everything he’s got when he gets into a project.

We are humbled to have worked with someone so committed to our mutual success. He completed the contract exceeding our expectations! What he did for us was mind-blowing, learning so much! It would have taken us like 10 years by making trial/error to have that knowledge about vacation rentals procedures. You will not be disappointed! We will take him again for any similar future projects. Sincerely, thank you Norman!!

Norm has been able to help us with two properties and I appreciate his guidance.

Canmore – New build and Norm was the property manager.  He was able to help us determine who to use for interior design and procurement based upon our requirements and the preference for the local market.  Norm quickly responded to all of our questions in a very professional manner.  His expertise helped us determine what the optimal rental windows and how to maximize our return.  As we worked through the initial rental period he helped set appropriate expectations.

I would strongly suggest anyone that is looking to improve the rate of return or get into the short term rental market leverage Norm’s skills and expertise.

Luke St. James Canadian Country Manager, Workiva

Norm was a great asset as manager, Spring Creek Vacations. He was extremely knowledgeable about the hospitality industry and used this knowledge to ensure both owners and guests had a great experience. 

He always ensured suites were kept in the highest level of care, and he was quick to communicate with owners and guests. Norm is friendly, personable, and a definite professional in the hospitality and property management industry.

Norm has been able to help us with two properties and I appreciate his guidance.

Nova Scotia – We own a cottage on St Margarets Bay, NS and our property manager wanted to retire.  Norm was able to explore local property managers and prioritize the top two that we could work with.  Norm’s recommendation has significantly improved the process, helped automate the presentation of the property to a larger audience and tripled the revenue over previous years.  I did not have the time or expertise to explore and evaluate options on my own.

I would strongly suggest anyone that is looking to improve the rate of return or get into the short term rental market leverage Norm’s skills and expertise.
