We mean full-service!
When we say full-service vacation property management services,
Allow us to handle everything about your rental property in the Black Hills — so you can earn income that’s truly passive.
You’ll love working with us if…
You own a second home in the Black Hills that you’d love to rent out, but you don’t want to deal with the difficulties of rental property management.
You’re interested in buying a new property in the Black Hills, and you want to make wise investment decisions (while avoiding costly mistakes).
You’ve got a great property, but you know it could benefit from better interior design, professional staging, and marketing to maximize your bookings and nightly rates.
You’re burned out from self-managing your Black Hills property, and you’re ready to reclaim the time, freedom, and peace of mind you wanted when you originally bought it.
You’re currently working with another management company, but you aren’t very impressed — you’d prefer to work with a more professional, responsive, and educated team.

When your property looks great, it sells great. Our professional interior designer, Alisha, will help stage your home to generate significantly higher revenue and provide an outstanding experience for your guests.
Because our design team is in-house, we’re committed to staying within your budget while making smart decisions that increase your home’s perceived value. From strategic advice to furniture delivery to full remodels, our à la carte interior design packages help you maximize your investment.
Whether or not you choose our design services, you will receive our complimentary services for photography and videography. Our experienced professional will make your property look its best, so it stands out online and entices guests to book.
Pricing for profitability is a science. You can’t just slap a number on a listing or “set it and forget it” — you need to know the local market, compare comps in your area, and price your property competitively.
Our team understands all that and more. We use dynamic pricing and data sourcing to stay on top of occupancy rates, average daily rates (ADR), travel trends, and ideal booking windows for your specific property and region.
This advanced technology helps us capitalize on supply and demand. Yet not everything is automated. We have a dedicated team of pricing experts who are constantly analyzing and optimizing your listing by hand. This analytical approach allows our properties to perform in the top 75% of the local ADR.
It’s not just about maximizing occupancy. It’s about maximizing profit, so you get nightly rates above market average, and an annual revenue that meets (or exceeds) our forecasted goal.
Once we’ve got your listing ready, let’s get it seen — and booked! Our team will distribute your property on all the online travel agencies (OTAs), including Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and many others.
But simply listing your property isn’t enough. We also make sure it reaches the top of search results, so it’s viewed by as many people as possible. Using our specialized knowledge of each platform’s algorithm, our team optimizes and moderates your listing for ideal SEO.
Along with the OTAs, your property will be listed on our popular direct booking website, jandjhospitalitydirect.com. With the help of our in-house marketing, these direct bookings help maximize your online visibility, keep costs down, and create repeat guests.
With Stay in the Black Hills, you don’t have to hire a separate cleaning company or scrub the place yourself. We do it all for you!
Our housekeeping service includes all interior rooms and any exterior gathering spaces, such as a firepit. We wipe down every surface, vacuum or mop every floor, haul out all trash, and leave your place looking brand-new every time.
We also provide professional laundry services to wash all bedding, towels, and other linens between each guest group. In fact, we own and manage all items your guests may use, from soap to dishwasher pods to premium sheets and pillowcases (no cheap poly blends here!).
Because we use our own team of vetted cleaning professionals, we’re able to control the quality, so your guests have a pristine experience every stay.
Great operations go beyond surface level. Our team offers regular property maintenance, so your home is always in tip-top shape from the inside out.
We use digital tools to track cleanliness, maintenance requests, and restocking of essential products. We'll keep you updated with a maintenance report detailing all tasks completed on your property.
Following an initial in-depth inspection of your property, we provide quality-control checks to prevent potential issues. If a problem does arise, we address it and alert you immediately.
After working with many local vendors, we’ve assembled a team of our top vetted choices for plumbers, electricians, HVAC pros, and more, including our own in-house handyman. Our aim is always to care for your property as if it were our own.
A responsive, helpful host is a fast track to five-star ratings — and that’s exactly what you can expect from our friendly, on-call hospitality team.
From the moment someone sees your listing to the time they check out of your rental, we’re there to assist every step of the way. We have a response rate of 100% within 24 hours on all booking platforms, so no guest goes unanswered.
Day or night, our team is available to address any question or concern. From a request for extra towels to a toilet overflow, we can be at the home ASAP to help.
There’s a reason all our properties in the Black Hills have an average five-star rating: because we give all our guests a five-star experience.

"All I have to do is sit back and stay out of their way
I’ve self-managed, and I’ve let J&J manage my property. For the money, there’s no better value. They’ve outperformed my self-management in every way. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

FAQs about vacation property management
How do you set your commission?
Our management fee ranges from 20% to 30%, depending on your property's gross revenue. Properties generating over $150,000 in annual revenue qualify for our 20% model. The majority of our clients — about 80% — fall into the 30% category based on their rental performance.
Where is your office located?
620 East Blvd. North Rapid City, SD 57701, USA
Our central operations hub, located in the heart of Rapid City, allows us to efficiently serve properties throughout the entire Black Hills. This is where our team meets, collaborates, and manages day-to-day operations. The facility includes our linen and amenity storage, and a fully stocked maintenance supply area — everything we need to keep our properties running smoothly and our guests well cared for.
I’m already working with a management company — will it be hard to switch?
Change can be hard, but it’s the only way to grow. We’ve helped many property owners switch from other management companies. Our step-by-step system makes the transition surprisingly easy.
What kind of contract do you require?
We require a minimum of a one-year contract, signed digitally via DocuSign for your convenience. This contract protects both us and you. It defines expectations, keeps us accountable, and gives you legal coverage you wouldn’t have otherwise. For more information on what’s included in your contract, visit our rate structure page, or contact our team directly.
