About Us

MISSION STATEMENT

The Wolf was born from a need for quality, hands-on, cooperative vacation rental management in Estes Park and the surrounding areas. We are not a national company or a franchise of a national company. We are independent and answer to nobody but our owners and our guests. We are completely local, and our team has deep experience running our own personal vacation homes in Estes Park.

The short term rental market is understandably contentious, and we understand it’s critical to eliminate pain points for owners, guests, neighbors and the town’s code enforcement team. Our goal is to protect everyone involved in the short term rental industry by providing a relaxing, inviting and safe atmosphere for guests. The math is easy: high guest satisfaction equals occupied homes. Occupied homes are profitable homes. Profitable homes are well maintained and frequently upgraded, which means more satisfied guests. It’s a positive cycle for everyone.

We are committed to our guests, our owners and their business, our town and its regulations, and our neighbors. We accomplish our mission through automation, streamlining of each and every process from booking to checkout, and leveraging the best technology in the short term rental market. Nearly everything we do is based on numbers, market research, machine learning, algorithms and mathematics. We put it all together with a deep understanding of our unique portfolio of Wolf Dens and who would want to enjoy them.
