About Far & Away Homes

About Far & Away

Who We Are

Far & Away is locally owned and operated in southern Vermont. We started because we saw how much money owners were leaving on the table with generic management approaches — and how many were getting blindsided by tax obligations nobody had explained to them.

Far & Away is run by a Columbia University-trained digital marketer and photographer whose past work includes five-star boutique hotel brands and luxury homes. That same eye for presentation and demand generation goes into every property we manage.

We currently manage six properties across Vermont, Cape Cod, and the Hamptons:

• Whispering Pines Lodge — A 5-bedroom luxury property sleeping 10, with a pool, hot tub, and sauna. One of the highest-reviewed vacation rentals in southern Vermont.
• Stratton Chalet — A 3-bedroom ski chalet with a hot tub and sauna, a five-minute drive from the Stratton base lodge.
• Hooks Lodge — A modern 6-bedroom home in Dover, Vermont, near Mount Snow, with 4,500 square feet of open living space and a private hot tub.
• Bay Blues — A 4-bedroom bay-front home in Eastham, Massachusetts, with 360-degree views of Cape Cod Bay.
• Mellow Moose — A 5-bedroom home in Londonderry, Vermont, sleeping 12, with a wood-burning fireplace and open-plan living and dining.
• Out East — A professionally designed 6-bedroom home in East Hampton, New York, sleeping 16, with a private pool and outdoor hot tub.
• Stratton Mod — Coming soon.
• Apres Lodge — A 5-bedroom timber-frame ski lodge in Winhall, Vermont, sleeping 12. Coming soon.

Our properties consistently rank among the top-performing short-term rentals in the area. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to — and the standard we apply to every property we take on.

What Makes Us Different

In-house accounting expertise

We have a CPA advisor doing bank-reconciled bookkeeping for every property we manage. Every booking — platform or direct — is categorized. Every Vermont Meals and Rooms Tax obligation is tracked. At year-end, our owners get a clean reconciled statement, not a spreadsheet they have to reverse-engineer.

Professional photography on every onboarding

Professional photos aren’t an add-on or a package upgrade. They’re standard. Every shoot is done personally by our Columbia-trained photographer, whose past work includes five-star boutique hotel brands and luxury homes — wide-angle interiors, exterior shots, lifestyle staging.

Dynamic pricing, not flat rates

Vermont STR revenue swings dramatically by season, day of week, and local events. We use dynamic pricing tools and active rate management to capture peak demand and stay competitive in shoulder season.

Honest conversations about income projections

We don’t inflate income projections to win contracts. If a property doesn’t pencil out under professional management, we’ll tell you that — and explain why.
