Carol Burk moved to Rhododendron in 1997, and quickly established her
already-existing company, Carol’s Complete Cleaning, in the mountain
communities. After receiving encouragement from customers who owned
vacation rentals in need of management, Carol started All Seasons Vacation
Rental (ASVR) in Welches in 2002.
“It started strictly organically,” Burk said. “A lot of customers I had from
cleaning asked if I wanted to manage their properties and it grew from there.”
Fast-forward 20 years and All Seasons is the last locally owned, boots on the
ground vacation rental management company in the community.
Now Burk manages 32 properties in the Mount Hood area and has
accommodated travelers from around the globe who choose to plan their stay
on the mountain with her company.
ASVR currently has 13 employees, 11 of which are local residents, with the
other two residing nearby in Sandy.
Burk stated her business has the highest number of employees to properties
managed in the region as part of her company’s philosophy of providing
prompt and attentive service to both guests and property owners.
In addition to providing local jobs, All Seasons strives to foster business
relationships in the community.
“I try to do as much business with local vendors as possible,” Burk said.
All Seasons provides 24 hour a day, seven day a week customer service for
visitors and property owners. The company website states that ASVR also
“provides full-service property management including Marketing, Lead
Management, Bookings, Property Cleaning, and light Maintenance for our
owners.”
Throughout the 20 years running the business Burk has garnered most of her
clients from word of mouth and referrals. As part of the company’s focus on
providing the best service for guests and homeowners employees attend
conferences and training seminars during the year to stay abreast with
changes in the vacation rental industry.
Looking ahead Burk plans on increasing the number of houses the company
manages to 50. Burk stated the company had been understaffed due to the
pandemic but had recently hired two more staff members and were poised to
increase the operation.
ASVR’s office is located at 23804 E Greenwood Avenue, Welches and can be
contacted by phone at 503-622-1142 or online at
