Explore what it means to partner with Drift North

Where do you manage vacation homes?

Where do you manage vacation homes?

 Drift North proudly manages premium vacation homes in Birchwood, Wisconsin and surrounding areas.


 Properties are chosen for their charm, privacy, and potential to deliver a truly memorable Northwoods experience — where the call of the loon, dockside mornings, and lakeside gatherings are part of the rhythm of life.

We’re not trying to be the biggest — just the most trusted. 

What can I earn from my property?

Where do you manage vacation homes?

 

We like to set clear expectations upfront. Your income will vary depending on seasonality, amenities, and location, but here’s a general idea based on area trends:


    Prime Season (June–September): Highest nightly rates and strongest occupancy.
 

Shoulder Seasons (April/May, October/November): Moderate occupancy with slightly reduced rates.
 

Holiday Weeks (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s): Strong demand and near-prime pricing.
 

Winter Months (January–March): Typically slower; properties with winter appeal or hot tubs may see consistent interest.
 

Booking Window: February and March are peak months for summer reservations — roughly 50% of summer stays are booked during this time.

Pricing, Booking & Communication

 

What do I need to do to get started?
We make the onboarding process easy. Once we agree to move forward, we’ll guide you through:


Providing basic information and signing a short agreement.
 

Scheduling your property for professional photography and staging.
 

Letting us know when your property is ready — furnishings, housewares, and essentials should already be in place.
 

A final walkthrough, followed by launching your listing within 72 hours of the shoot.
 

How do you help my listing stand out?
We optimize your listing with professional photography, seasonal descriptions, and consistent engagement to improve visibility. 


We also recommend you “favorite” your property, visit the page often, and share it with friends and family — this boosts it in algorithm-driven platforms.

How are nightly rates determined?


We use local insight along with pricing trends and seasonal demand to keep your rates competitive and your property booked. Our strategy ensures a balance between maximizing occupancy and securing strong nightly income.


Do you have a guest portal or booking dashboard?


Not yet — but we provide coordinated calendar management and regular updates. You’ll always be in the loop and can request reporting or updates any time.


How do you communicate with guests?
We manage all guest communication before, during, and after their stay. This includes:

  • Pre-stay confirmations
  • Arrival instructions & property details
  • Local recommendations and concierge-style tips
  • Mid-stay check-ins to ensure expectations are met
  • Post-stay review requests and follow-ups

How are guests screened?


We currently partner with trusted booking platforms that include guest verification tools and reviews. Additional screening standards are being developed as part of our damage protection and reservation management policies.


What if something gets damaged during a stay?


We’re finalizing a custom Damage Protection Policy to provide added confidence and coverage. In the meantime, we handle damage incidents on a case-by-case basis, with transparency and clear documentation for owners.

Licensing & Insurance

 The property owner is responsible for obtaining the appropriate Wisconsin short-term rental license (issued by your municipality or county) and ensuring your property has proper short-term rental insurance in place. 

This could be the start of something great.
