New to our Blue Ridge Property Management program! We have implemented Dynamic Pricing* to keep our Properties in line with comparable properties!
Don’t confuse property management with property marketing.
There are larger vacation rental companies in the Blue Ridge area who market your cabin but have no idea what is going on at your vacation cabin rental or have time to talk to you personally.
Service to our property owners and guests are our ONLY concern.
We aren’t in the business of buying and selling real estate.
We aren’t in the construction/development business.
Managing, Marketing and Maintaining your cabin is ALL that we do!
At the heart of our property management ethos lies a steadfast commitment to building enduring personal relationships with both property owners and guests. As we expand our portfolio to include exceptional Mountain View and Waterfront properties, we are excited to invite discerning cabin owners to partner with us. With over two decades of dedicated experience in the breathtaking Blue Ridge area, we, Bryan and Erica, ensure that your needs as an owner are met with the utmost professionalism and personalized attention.
Our mission is simple: to create a bespoke experience for each property owner and guest that transcends the typical vacation rental model. When you join our program, you will have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re not just another listing in a vast inventory; instead, you will collaborate directly with us throughout the entire process. We pride ourselves on maintaining a selective portfolio, which allows us to devote our full attention to each property, ensuring that your unique cabin shines amidst the stunning natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Not only will your property be listed our website, but on other travel websites like Airbnb, Homeaway, Booking.com, Rentalz Google Vacations, Hopper, RealVoice and Whimstay at no additional cost to the owner. We are a Premier Partner with Homeaway.
We are the first property management agency in the Blue Ridge area to offer it’s guests free activities such as rafting, zipline. mountain bike rentals, admissions, horseback riding and more to come. This gives added value to each property’s rental as they can take advantage of over $100 worth of activities each day of their stay at no cost to the owner and no additional expense to the guests.
Introducing our cutting-edge Dynamic Pricing Tool, meticulously engineered to elevate the financial performance of your vacation properties. This innovative system is designed to analyze and optimize pricing on a nightly basis, ensuring that each home is competitively priced while maximizing annual revenue and occupancy rates throughout the year.
In an ever-evolving rental market, understanding the nuances of demand is crucial. Our dynamic pricing tool operates through sophisticated algorithms that continuously monitor and assess comparable listings on leading travel platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Homeaway. By leveraging real-time data and market trends, the system intelligently adjusts pricing to reflect the unique attributes of your property, location, and seasonal demand.
During off-peak periods, our tool strategically lowers rates to attract more guests, thereby increasing occupancy and mitigating the traditional lull in bookings. Conversely, when demand surges during peak seasons and holidays, the system intelligently raises rates, allowing you to capitalize on increased interest and maximizing your revenue potential.
So far, no other cabin rental agency in our area offers this AND the free activities to their owners which adds value to the rental for the guests. We do this at no additional charge for our property owners. We’d love the chance to add your property to our program.

More About Our Company
Mountain Escapes Vacation Property Management Program
At Mountain Escapes, we are a family-owned business dedicates itself to providing exceptional vacation rental management experiences in Blue Ridge and the charming town of Ducktown, TN. We’re just a few miles from the GA/TN/NC border. Previously, we were vacation rental owners in the Blue Ridge area before we moved here from the Metro Atlanta area. Consequently after some frustration with our property management company, we decided to sell our cabin and start our own vacation rental business and serve Blue Ridge and the Ocoee river area. Ulitmately, our goal is to treat both cabin owners and guests the way we would like to be treated. Subsequently, twenty plus years later, Mountain Escapes is the oldest vacation rental management company in Polk County TN and the fourth oldest in Fannin County, GA.
As a cabin owner on our program, you deal directly with Bryan of Erica McMillian, Owners of Mountain Escapes, not some “manager of the week”. Also he has personally handpicked all of the service related personnel. This includes cleaning crews, exterminator, lawn maintenance, satellite tech, and repair/ maintenance contractors. Therefore, this means when we send someone to your vacation rental for whatever reason, they know what we expect.
Currently, we are in need of Mountain View and Waterfront cabins for our Blue Ridge vacation rental management program. Furthermore we are paid on commission, therefore we have to be selective with the rental cabins we allow on our vacation rental management program. But we would be happy to talk to you if you are in need of Blue Ridge vacation rental management, and it’s potential for our program. We currently need to increase our inventory of waterfront cabins, mountain view cabins, and luxury cabins. Hot tubs and fireplaces are a must; game tables and firepits are a plus. Give us a call! We’d love to talk to you about Blue Ridge property management.
