That’s a lot of revenue from rental and hospitality that you could be getting a piece of with what you already have!

Not every vacationer is an older, wealthy demographic looking for a luxury stay – the next generation of vacationers is looking for something unique that speaks to their wilder, more adventurous nature that won’t break the bank.

At Wild Whim, we specialize in turning unique, underused spaces into one-of-a-kind vacation rentals that guests love and remember.

From listing and pricing to guest messaging, cleaning, and everything in between—we handle it all, so you can sit back and enjoy the extra cash (and the glowing reviews). If you’ve got something off-grid, off-beat, or a little off the path, we’d love to help you turn it into something magical—and profitable.

what we do:

  • We handle all guest messages before, during, and after each stay so you don’t have to lift a finger.

  • We craft compelling listings and keep your availability synced across platforms like Airbnb and Hipcamp.

  • We adjust your nightly rates based on demand to help you earn as much as possible year-round.

  • We hire, schedule, and coordinate local cleaners to ensure your place is always guest-ready.

  • From toilet paper to soap, we monitor and replenish supplies so you never get a bad review over the basics.

  • We keep an eye on feedback and make sure your guests feel cared for throughout their stay.

  • We get your space guest-ready with thoughtful staging, regular check-ins, and on-the-ground support.

what we list:

  • Don’t sell that Shasta! Your clean, live able and well-maintained asset could help you clear a size-able check every month. Yes, even without hookups!

  • All you need is a small, private spot in a desirable location equipped with the basics to get started. Off-grid set ups are our speciality!

  • Small, safe buildings can be turned into a unique rental – ditch the junk storage and make a cozy spot for vacationers to come enjoy a unique experience.

  • Gypsy wagons, train carts, geo-domes…show us what you have and we’ll tell you if it’s rentable!

OUR VALUES

OFF GRID.

We believe in disconnecting from the chaos and reconnecting with what matters—nature, simplicity, and presence. Our properties invite guests to unplug and unwind, offering the kind of stillness and space you can’t find on a screen. Whether it’s solar-powered cabins, remote campsites, or cozy RVs tucked deep in the woods, we curate experiences that celebrate freedom, sustainability, and living life a little more raw and real.

OFF beat.

At Wild Whim, we celebrate the quirks, the character, and the creative spirit. We’re drawn to the odd-shaped A-frames, the boho buses, and the homes with stories in their walls. These aren’t cookie-cutter stays—they’re full of soul, personality, and surprise. We believe in standing out, staying curious, and offering guests a break from the bland with places that make them feel something.

OFF PATH.

We’re not here for the tourist traps—we’re here for the trails less traveled. Wild Whim is rooted in the spirit of exploration and discovery. Our stays are tucked in the corners, scattered through the woods, or hiding in plain sight—each one a gentle nudge to wander differently. We invite both hosts and guests to veer off-course, follow their curiosity, and find magic in the unexpected.
