For everyone that knows my husband Al Sedighravesh, knows he is always selling and upselling something. So much so that a software we use caught wind of it, and interviewed him for a short term rental article! See it here- https://www.hostaway.com/case-studies/rather-be-properties/ 🥳🤓

Like most short-term rental businesses, Rather Be Properties started out small. Owner Al Sed bought two vacation rental properties in 2021. His wife and partner Elissa ran the business while Al worked full-time in residential lending.

Thank you so much for your kind words! 💖

This home is a personal favorite of Al and mine. We purchased this cabin back in 2022, and with the help of .be.design, we’ve added many updates since, always refreshing it. We made it so special for our family but also LOVE sharing it with others. At .be.rproperties, we strive to create unforgettable experiences for families. 🏡✨

Our mountain cabin, complete with a hot tub, playground, and foosball table, is perfect for young families of up to 8 guests. Whether you're here to enjoy the winter snow or the stunning fall foliage, our cabin is your ideal home away from home.

🏡✨ Recently, I threw out a fun challenge: guess which property review was for a home we own and which was for one we manage?

The best part? It’s SO hard to tell because our dedication shines through in every single property. It fills my heart with joy every time our guests feel at home and the homeowners beam with pride.

A testament to the hard work we put in! Thank you for being a part of this journey! 💖🔑
