OWNER-OPERATORS
We manage from an owner’s perspective because we own and operate destination properties ourselves.
29 Nights selectively partners with distinctive Pacific Northwest homes and owners committed to exceptional hospitality.
PURPOSE BEFORE PERFORMANCE
The right management relationship starts with alignment.
Before discussing pricing, projections, or operations, we begin by understanding what the owner wants from the property.
Is the goal to create an exceptional guest experience? Preserve and elevate a meaningful home? Build a premium hospitality asset for the long term? Enjoy the property personally while having every operational detail professionally handled?
Those answers matter because 29 Nights is not the right manager for every owner.
We work best with owners who believe that exceptional performance begins with an exceptional property – and who are prepared to invest in the furnishings, amenities, maintenance, presentation, and ongoing care required to uphold that standard.
Premium properties require premium stewardship.
29 Nights is designed for owners who want their property operated with the same level of care, urgency, and accountability that we bring to our own homes.
We may be the right fit if you:
- Value the guest experience
You want guests to feel the quality, care, and thoughtfulness behind the property – not simply have a place to sleep.
- Invest for the long term
You understand that protecting the home, maintaining its condition, and addressing issues promptly are essential to both guest satisfaction and lasting performance.
- Want professional, hands-off ownership
You want an experienced team to lead pricing, guest communication, cleaning, maintenance coordination, and daily operations without requiring constant involvement.
- Expect premium management
You recognize that attentive oversight, accountability, and high service standards require greater investment than a low-cost, high-volume management model.
We are probably not the right fit if:
- Your primary goal is to minimize every operating expense, defer maintenance, or maximize short-term revenue at the expense of the property or guest experience.
We do not wait for small issues to become guest-facing problems. We address concerns proactively, maintain the home to a high standard, and make decisions with the long-term reputation of the property in mind.
WHO WE WORK WITH
The right homes. The right partnership.
We partner with owners of distinctive Pacific Northwest properties that have the setting, character, and potential to become exceptional guest experiences. Our portfolio remains intentionally selective so every home receives meaningful attention, thoughtful positioning, and hands-on care.
Distinctive properties
Homes with a memorable setting, strong design, unique amenities, or an experience guests cannot find everywhere else.
Owners who value quality
Partners who care about the long-term performance, reputation, and condition of their property – not simply maximizing short-term occupancy at any cost.
Experience-driven stays
Properties where nature, wellness, architecture, location, or local adventure can become part of a compelling hospitality brand.
Destination first
Is the property somewhere guests would travel specifically to experience? Destination properties are our primary focus, with select city and metro homes considered individually.

PERFORMANCE IN PRACTICE
We operate what we promise.
29 Nights was built through the hands-on ownership and operation of our own properties. The same revenue strategy, hospitality systems, brand development, and daily oversight we bring to management partnerships are tested across our portfolio every day.
SKYKOMISH VALLEY · WASHINGTON
The Gateway
We positioned The Gateway as more than a riverfront cabin – building a distinctive couples retreat around privacy, wellness, and immersion in the Skykomish Valley.
KITTITAS VALLEY · WASHINGTON
Deer Valley
We developed Deer Valley around open-country restoration, outdoor wellness, and a couples-first experience with room to welcome families and groups.
OUR WORK ACROSS BOTH PROPERTIES
29 Nights leads the positioning, revenue strategy, professional content, guest experience, property readiness, and day-to-day hospitality operations behind each stay.
FROM PROPERTY TO PERFORMANCE
A thoughtful process from the start.
Every property is different. We begin by understanding the home, the market, and your goals – then build a management strategy around what will make the property distinctive, competitive, and operationally successful.
01
Evaluate
We assess the opportunity. We evaluate the property, market, regulations, competitive landscape, revenue potential, operating requirements, and fit with the 29 Nights portfolio.
02
Position
We define what makes it worth booking. We identify the ideal guest, strongest experience, and competitive advantage, then shape the amenities, pricing, photography, and listing presentation around that strategy.
03
Prepare & launch
We build the operation. We coordinate property readiness, cleaning and vendor relationships, guest systems, supplies, booking channels, and everything required for a polished launch.
04
Operate & improve
We manage the details every day. We oversee pricing, guest communication, property readiness, maintenance coordination, owner reporting, and ongoing improvements informed by performance and guest feedback.
THE OWNER EXPERIENCE
Clear communication. Shared priorities.
You should never be left wondering how your property is performing, what condition it is in, or what the management team is doing next. We keep owners informed, provide direct access to our team, and make decisions with the long-term success of the property in mind.
Transparent oversight
Clear reporting, property updates, and visibility into the decisions shaping performance.
Direct access
A responsive relationship with the people actually managing your property – not a rotating call center.
Long-term stewardship
We protect the home’s condition, reputation, and guest experience while building sustainable value over time.
FAQs
29 Nights currently serves properties in Seattle and Bellevue, the Skykomish Valley, and the Kittitas Valley. We evaluate opportunities individually within these markets based on the property, its location, guest appeal, operational requirements, and fit within the 29 Nights collection.
29 Nights works selectively with distinctive properties that have the potential to deliver a premium guest experience. We look for homes with strong guest appeal, a compelling location or setting, thoughtful design, and the ability to meet our standards for presentation, amenities, cleanliness, safety, maintenance, and comfort. The owner relationship is equally important. We work best with owners who are prepared to invest in the property, address maintenance proactively, prioritize long-term stewardship, and entrust daily operations to an experienced management team. We are generally not a fit for owners whose primary objective is minimizing operating costs or maximizing short-term revenue at the expense of the home or guest experience.
Yes. Existing listings may be retained when they have an average guest rating of at least 4.8 out of 5 and at least 20 published guest reviews. In those cases, 29 Nights may be added as a co-host so the property can retain its established listing history and reviews. Alternatively, we may recommend creating a new listing under the 29 Nights account when a fresh launch would better support the property’s positioning, presentation, or long-term strategy. The recommended approach is determined during the property analysis and listing-planning process.
The structure depends on the property and its existing listing history. Qualifying established listings may remain in the owner’s account, with 29 Nights added as a co-host. New or repositioned properties may instead be launched through a new listing under the 29 Nights account. We evaluate both options and recommend the structure that best supports the property’s existing reputation, operational needs, and long-term performance. Guest reviews remain attached to the listing on which they were originally published.
Pricing is actively managed using market demand, seasonality, booking pace, local events, length of stay, availability, historical performance, and the individual characteristics of the property. For each home, 29 Nights develops a custom, property-specific pricing strategy rather than applying the same rules across the portfolio. We use PriceLabs, a professional dynamic-pricing platform, to analyze market data and support that strategy with automated rate adjustments. The software supports our decision-making - it does not replace it. Our team continuously oversees pricing, availability, minimum-stay requirements, last-minute adjustments, and seasonal strategy to keep the property competitive while protecting long-term revenue. Owners retain visibility into performance, while 29 Nights manages the ongoing pricing decisions. No specific level of occupancy or revenue can be guaranteed.
29 Nights coordinates cleaning, inspections, supply management, maintenance, and preparation before every guest arrival. Our team works with property-specific cleaners and trusted local vendors, monitors reported issues, and prioritizes work according to guest safety, active reservations, potential property damage, and upcoming check-ins. The amount 29 Nights may authorize for maintenance or repairs without first obtaining owner approval is established individually during the management-agreement process. Owners are informed of meaningful repairs, expenses, and ongoing property concerns.
Statements and payouts are generally delivered within 10 business days after the end of each quarter. Each reporting cycle provides visibility into the property’s booking performance, revenue, operating expenses, management fees, and owner proceeds. The specific reporting format, payment process, and treatment of reserves or outstanding expenses are documented in the management agreement.
29 Nights charges an initial fee to complete the property analysis and develop a customized listing plan. That process allows us to evaluate the property, identify opportunities and required improvements, recommend the appropriate listing structure, and create a roadmap for onboarding and launch. The analysis and listing-plan fee is credited in full when the owner commits to a qualifying one-year management agreement with 29 Nights.
29 Nights requires an initial management term of at least one year. Management fees vary based on the property, market, operating complexity, anticipated service requirements, and scope of management. Fees typically begin at 20% of booking revenue and may be higher for properties requiring additional oversight or services. The exact fee, included services, authorization limits, and agreement terms are established after the property analysis.
Yes. Owners may reserve personal-use dates in accordance with the management agreement and the property’s booking calendar. After every owner stay, the home is professionally cleaned, reset, and staged by the 29 Nights team before the next guest arrival. The cleaning cost is charged at cost and deducted from the owner’s next payout. This allows owners to enjoy the property much like a guest - without needing to manage the checkout cleaning or prepare the home for the next reservation.
29 Nights manages the permitting, licensing, and lodging-tax requirements associated with operating the property as a short-term or vacation rental. Owners are responsible for providing required ownership, property, insurance, and tax information and for cooperating with any applications, inspections, or documentation requirements. The division of costs and any property-specific legal or regulatory obligations are confirmed before the management agreement is executed.
The timeline depends on the property’s current condition, existing operations, licensing status, photography, furnishing, maintenance needs, listing history, and overall readiness. An established property that already meets the 29 Nights standard may transition relatively quickly. A new or repositioned property requiring repairs, furnishing, permitting, photography, branding, or listing development will require a longer preparation period. Following the initial analysis, 29 Nights provides a customized listing plan and a clearer anticipated launch timeline.
