Let’s face it — renting out your cottage in 2021 is very different than it was a few years ago.

Demand for rental cottages has skyrocketed in recent years, and even more so during the pandemic. That means rental prices have risen dramatically. Many cottage owners can earn 50% to 150% more rental income per week than they did in the past — often thousands and thousands more per week — provided they rent and advertise smartly. Has your cottage rental income kept pace with rising demand?

Guests’ expectations have also changed. Do you offer hotel-style amenities, like shampoo and bathrobes? Professionally cleaned linens and towels? Five-star service before, during, and after the rental? Automated check-in and wi-fi access? If you want to attract responsible and respectful renters who pay top dollar, it’s important to offer it all. The secret is that you don’t need to do it all yourself, if you have the right team on your side.

Finally, renting has become more complicated. Many guests look for cottages only on websites like Airbnb and VRBO. Sure, you can easily advertise on these websites, but do you know how to make the most of their complicated pricing algorithms and listing ranking formulas? Also, with constantly-changing COVID restrictions, local rental regulations, and insurance policies, it’s important to get expert advice.

And on top of all these changes, you still have the same worries about maintaining your cottage, from refilling the propane to emptying the septic.

But renting doesn’t have to be complicated.

That’s why we started Renttage — a smart, modern way to rent your cottage.

Hello! I’m Dan Boyer, the founder of Renttage. Growing up in Muskoka, I fell in love with cottage country, and I’m passionate about sharing this special part of the world with responsible visitors.

I’ve hosted hundreds of guests in properties across Ontario...  and even as far as New Orleans (but that’s a story best shared over a drink on the dock someday)! Over time, I learned how to create magical 5-star experiences that delight renters and draw impressively high rates, time and time again.

As a host and owner, I know how many little things are needed to make the cottage rental experience go smoothly. That’s why I created Renttage: to make the experience easy and worry-free for any cottage owner, and to take away any anxiety about whether it’s all worth it. We take care of everything for you, and we guarantee your rental income. That’s just part of what sets Renttage apart.

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, you can still rent out your cottage safely and legally. In fact, it’s not too late to rent for summer 2021, and we’d love to help.

My team and I, located throughout Ontario, would be happy to pay you a visit (virtually, or socially distanced — your choice) and tell you how we can make your cottage an easy, worry-free source of guaranteed income, while keeping you in full control of your second home. We’re excited to help, so please get in touch today. We look forward to meeting you!
