When people look for luxury vacation rentals, they aren’t just looking for more expensive Airbnb properties. They are looking for impeccable service and an unforgettable vacation experience from the moment they enter their rental villa to the moment they close the door on their adventures. Despite this, many travellers have experienced a disconnect between their expectations and reality when staying in a luxury vacation home. Luxury isn’t just a matter of pricing, but a matter of whether the amenities and services that guests receive are worth every extra dollar they have paid for high-end accommodations.
Vacation home rental company InvitedHome was founded in 2008 to fill this hidden gap in the luxury vacation rental industry. From the beginning, InvitedHome has aimed to offer private home rentals with hotel-quality service on par with the ones offered by brands such as Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, and Auberge. The company was built on a guiding philosophy of trust, integrity, refined hospitality, and service, choosing a more boutique-style approach to vacation home rentals, instead of the open marketplace-style listings that often characterize the process of procuring a vacation rental.
InvitedHome emphasizes the uniqueness of every home and homeowner, looking for the best fit between a guest and a property, ensuring that every renter’s personal standards are met. The company does not accept every home that fits its luxury demographic for listing, but looks for homes that can meet its standards for transparency, cleaning, maintenance, and guest support. Its focus on consistency and property preservation reflects its commitment to quality over quantity, as its leaders often say, “You can’t return a bad vacation,” making a flawless first impression essential.
InvitedHome also works closely with local property experts and local concierge teams to ensure that no detail or request by a guest is too small. InvitedHome’s concierge services include curated activities and excursions for guests in each of the resort towns it operates in. Transportation, ski gear rentals, helicopter rides, and 5-star dining experiences can be scheduled through InvitedHome’s concierge team. From providing essentials like cleanliness and organization to more personal requests like setting up groceries for arriving guests, the company has made building trust with its clientele its most important metric for success. “Do what you say you’re going to do” is an oft-repeated mantra at all levels of the company.
InvitedHome initially offered its services in beach towns such as Florida’s Rosemary Beach, Hawaii’s Maui, and California’s Santa Barbara. However, it soon found its niche in ski towns, setting itself up as the Auberge for luxury-branded ski villas. It made a major expansion in 2019 after launching in Park City, Utah. Today, the company operates in the ski towns of Telluride, Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Park City, Deer Valley, Alta, and Whistler. Most recently, it also expanded into Aspen, Colorado and Jackson Hole in Wyoming and Whistler, BC in 2026.
The company’s early growth was recognized with a placement on the Inc. 5000 list in 2015 as the fastest-growing business in the travel sector and the 27th-fastest growing business overall. Its properties have also been featured in media outlets, such as Architectural Digest, HGTV, and the Travel Channel. It has also been covered in Forbes and Vail Magazine.

While the market for luxury vacation rentals is constantly changing, InvitedHome has been playing an important role in redefining the expectations of travelers looking for a luxurious stay in private homes. Unlike other companies that might specialize solely in luxury aesthetics and locations, InvitedHome has made itself unique through consistency, reliability, and hospitality-oriented services. The attention to detail and commitment to providing a truly memorable experience in hand-picked properties with each stay make InvitedHome one of the leading representatives of the new luxury travel trend.
