You keep local hands
Your own cleaner and handyman, or a local contact we establish with you during setup, handle turnovers and repairs on the ground.

Pricing repriced daily, the listing, every guest message, reviews, cleaning coordination through Turno, tax setup and the monthly statement.
We say so when a home needs more
If a Northern Vermont home needs more on-site presence than this model gives it, the Fit Review says so plainly rather than taking it on.
FAQ
Co-hosting in Northern Vermont, answered
Who co-hosts short-term rentals in Stowe and Burlington, and are you local?
Beacon Stays co-hosts short-term rentals in Stowe, Burlington and the Champlain Valley, and we are based in Worcester, Massachusetts, not in Vermont. We run your home through our Remote Performance package: pricing, listing, guest messaging, the tax and safety postings, the town registration and monthly reporting are handled from Worcester, while your own local cleaner and handyman do the turnovers and repairs, coordinated and checked through our systems. Stowe also requires a responsible person who can reach the home quickly, and we help you put that person in place before anything is listed.
What does co-hosting cost in northern Vermont?
Remote Performance starts at 20 percent of net host revenue and Full-Service starts at 25 percent. Net host revenue is what you receive after the platform's host service fee, excluding guest cleaning fees. The 30-minute Property Fit Review is free, and the $350 Property Analysis is credited to your setup fee if you sign within 60 days. The exact percentage for your home is quoted in the Fit Review.
What does a Stowe or Burlington short-term rental earn?
By BNBCalc market data, October 2026, average earners across the Stowe market area, which covers Stowe, Burlington and the Champlain Islands, took in $56.3k a year at 38% occupancy and a $354 average nightly rate, and the median 3-bedroom earned $60.1k. Top earners with 4-plus bedrooms, the top quartile of listings, had a median of $117k, with Mountain Road and North Stowe at $123k and Stowe Village at $114k. Typical stays run about five nights, so turnover quality drives reviews, and none of these figures is a promise for your home; the Fit Review sets expectations for your specific property and for what Stowe's license limits allow.
