Luxury Mountain Vacation Rentals

What Luxury Mountain Vacation Rentals does

Luxury Mountain Vacation Rentals (LMVR) is a privately held Canadian company that manages over 50 luxury vacation rental properties — chalets, townhomes, and condos — exclusively at Big White Ski Resort in British Columbia. The portfolio spans seven distinct resort areas (Feathertop Estates, Happy Valley, Lower Village, Snow Pine Estates, Upper Village, Village Centre, and White Forest Estates) and 22+ buildings, ranging from 2-bedroom condos averaging CDN$300–$700 per night to ultra-premium 5–6 bedroom chalets such as Snow Peaks at CDN$6,143/night and Edge 9 at CDN$1,690/night. LMVR serves families, multi-generational groups, ski enthusiasts, and corporate retreat organizers seeking ski-in/ski-out accommodations, supported by a small in-resort team of approximately 5 employees with the owners living year-round at Big White.

The operating stack is centered on a Shopify-hosted e-commerce website (lmvrentals.ca) for property search, marketing, and direct booking, with payment processing, reservations, guest login, and guest verification delivered through the company's partnership with Allura Direct. Each property listing includes proprietary real-time ski-in/ski-out video feeds and detailed amenity information. Marketing analytics are run on Microsoft Clarity (heatmaps, session replay), Google Analytics, and Microsoft Advertising. The company maintains an SEO-optimized content library (Big White guide, family guide, dining and bar guide, activity guides) and an active presence on Facebook, X/Twitter, and Google+ to drive top-of-funnel organic acquisition.

LMVR's revenue model combines transaction-based commissions on nightly rental bookings with guest service and concierge fees (lift ticket coordination, ski lesson bookings, dog sledding, snowmobiling, wine tours, private chef, private sommelier, and on-mountain massage). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via website and phone (8am–6pm PST, seven days a week, with both local and toll-free lines), supplemented by the Allura Direct booking platform. The company operates under Consumer Protection BC License Number 84472, holds TripAdvisor Travellers Choice 2026 recognition, and is 100% operationally tied to Big White Ski Resort, which serves simultaneously as the host resort and a core co-marketing partner.
