  • Every home is professionally photographed by Lindsey of LC Photostyle, to ensure a polished, high-end presentation that stands out in our competitive market. Each property receives a thoughtfully curated gallery of interior and exterior images, designed to highlight both space and detail while driving stronger booking performance. Optional drone and lifestyle content further elevate your home’s presence, creating a more compelling guest experience.

  • We founded Sage + Spruce Collective in early 2025, a short-term rental cleaning company by hosts for hosts, to ensure our properties are always guest-ready.

    As owners of Stonefly Retreat in Paradise Valley, we cannot recommend Emily, Austin, and the entire COHO Collective team highly enough!

    We trusted Emily and Austin when they/we were just entering the competitive STR market in Paradise Valley (Livingston), MT. As first-time Airbnb owners before working with them, we would be completely lost without their guidance. Their communication is impeccable—always responsive, proactive, and thorough. They've transformed our property with their exceptional eye for design and theme development, helping us source furnishings that perfectly capture the Montana retreat aesthetic our guests love.

    What sets COHO Collective apart is their dual expertise: they understand property owners' investment goals while delivering outstanding guest experiences that generate consistent five-star reviews. Emily is incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and treats our property like her own. They offer a variety of management services and options for newbies and seasoned pros alike, making them the perfect fit regardless of your experience level.

    Whether you're a new STR owner or looking to switch management companies, COHO Collective delivers results. They've turned what could be a stressful venture into a profitable, worry-free investment. You will not be disappointed. Highest recommendation!

  • Jim D

    From the moment we met Emily and Austin we were impressed with COHO Collective. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and dedication to managing both of our Vacation Rentals has been particularly impressive.

    Nothing has been too much trouble for them. The cabins are always well stocked and immaculately presented for each new guest. Cleaning is always on time, problems are always fixed promptly.

    We are now looking forward to Emily managing our Turo, and our third property as soon as it is finished. Without hesitation, we would recommend to anybody for looking for a great Co-Host!

  • ERIN W

    Emily and Austin are the pinnacle of professionalism in hospitality and property management. They never cease to impress and have continuously earned our trust in all matters regarding our AirBnB property that they manage. From impeccable taste in re-decorating to handling all guest relations in a timely manner to valuable suggestions on improving the property and guest experience, Emily and Austin handle everything with extreme care and regular communication.

    Additionally, we have an immense amount of respect for them as fellow Montanans and ethical vacation home owners. They don't just consider the properties they manage from a business perspective - they also demonstrate care for the communities that the properties reside in.

    I cannot overstate how much we appreciate Emily and Austin and enthusiastically recommend their services.

  • GINA C

    We have been working with Coho Collective for almost a year and let me tell you, this has been the BEST decision we have ever made for our rental property (and our sanity).

    Emily and Austin and the rest of the COHO team not only have the best creative vision to bring a property to life and effectively, efficiently and flawlessly manage properties but also have your best interest in mind on ALL fronts. It is such a great feeling being able to sleep at night knowing our property is in the BEST hands. And an added bonus- they are so fun to work with.

    If you are looking for a property manager that’s innovative, super skilled and driven, look no further. THESE ARE YOUR PEOPLE!!

  • CATHERINE B

    Having a home in Montana was a three-decade dream for me. When I realized we'd have to convert it to a STR, I was beyond stressed. Enter COHO! Emily, Austin, and their team have been lifesavers on every front. They are among the most innately capable people I know; driven to provide 100% to both their clients and their guests. They are knowledgeable, responsive, collaborative, creative, strategic, and unflappable. Most importantly, I know with absolute certainty that not only is my dream in the best hands, but that our guests are able to enjoy their time in our home, feeling supported by the best team in town.

    COHO has enabled us to have 98% occupancy for 21 weeks so far this year. And knock on wood, we've had all five star effusive reviews. When something has gone wrong (which happens!), COHO has gotten it fixed with lightning speed. I cannot recommend COHO more highly. Simply the best.

  • KAYT D

    Life threw us some curveballs and then we found COHO Collective and they helped get us back on the straight and narrow. We were at a place of having to leave our home, but not wanting to sell and Emily and her team helped us transition to a STR seamlessly and timely (like 45 days).

    Working with the COHO for the last few months has alleviated so many potential stressful situations that I would have had to deal with on top of my very busy career. AND now we are thriving. Could not recommend them enough!
