• Waterfront cottages where reviews and repeat guests matter

Not a fit

• Owners who want day-to-day control of guest issues and turnovers
• Properties that won’t be brought up to standard
• Situations where response expectations can’t be met consistently

What owners say

"Our experience with KADS has been very positive.
We own a property on the outskirts of Haliburton and were looking for a team to help manage our rental in a hands-off manner. KADS Rental Management has filled that role perfectly. We’ve been working with them for several years now and plan to continue partnering with KADS well into the future."

- James, Cottage Owner

"I've worked with Jordan and Clare for over a year now and it has been a fantastic experience! They are always available, timely to respond, and are knowledgeable on rentals and the area of my cottage. So far they have given an incredible experience for my guests!"

- Gillian, Cottage Owner
