Short-term rental co-hosting in Central and southern Vermont ski country
Beacon Stays co-hosts ski-country short-term rentals around Killington, Okemo and the Mad River Valley from our base in Worcester, Massachusetts; we have no office or active property in Vermont, and we say so. Our Remote Performance package runs pricing, listings, guest messaging, the tax postings and the town registration for your mountain home while your own local cleaner and handyman handle the turnovers, which in ski country means a winter of short stays and fast changeovers.
Based in Worcester, Massachusetts, serving property owners across all of New England.

- Seasonality
- A winter-first market: the season runs from the holidays through spring skiing, foliage brings a second shorter peak, and summer depends on the mountain's bike and event calendar.

FAQ
Co-hosting in Central and southern Vermont ski country, answered
Who co-hosts short-term rentals in Killington and Okemo, and are you local?
Beacon Stays co-hosts ski-country short-term rentals around Killington, Okemo and the Mad River Valley, and we are based in Worcester, Massachusetts, not in Vermont. We run your mountain home through our Remote Performance package: pricing, listing, guest messaging, the tax 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. In a winter of short stays the cleaner is the most important person in the operation, and we say so in the Fit Review.
What does co-hosting cost in Vermont ski country?
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 Killington or Okemo short-term rental earn?
By BNBCalc market data, October 2026, average earners across the Killington market area, which covers central and southern Vermont ski country, took in $48.1k a year at 33% occupancy and a $366 average nightly rate, and the median 3-bedroom earned $50.2k. Top earners with 4-plus bedrooms, the top quartile of listings, had a median of $100k, the same figure BNBCalc shows for the Mad River Valley sub-area; Killington and Okemo are not broken out at that filter. Half of this market is already professionally managed, and none of these figures is a promise for your home; the Fit Review sets expectations for your specific property and its permitted occupancy.
