Exclusivity
Ten Homes. Total Focus.
Five Star intentionally limits its Big Sky portfolio to exactly 10 premium properties so every owner receives direct attention, disciplined oversight, and a higher standard of care.
This is not discounted management. It is selective management. A smaller portfolio protects the time, communication, and accountability required to maximize performance while protecting the physical asset.
Direct Owner Access
You work with leadership, not a rotating support queue.
Better Oversight
Fewer homes means stronger accountability and more consistent care.
No Volume-Based Neglect
We are built to be the most focused, not the biggest.

Meet the Founder
Meet Paul Mabie
My career in vacation rental management began in Key West in 1999, when I founded and built my first management company from the ground up. What started with zero properties grew to 66 vacation rentals before I sold the business in 2007.
Since then, I have spent more than 25 years leading vacation rental, resort, and luxury residential operations. I helped launch residential operations at the Yellowstone Club, oversaw lodging operations for more than 1,500 units at Sunriver Resort, and managed portfolios of nearly 300 homes in Big Sky. Most recently, I served as General Manager for two of Big Sky's largest vacation rental management companies.
Throughout my career, I have developed deep experience in hospitality operations, revenue management, financial performance, owner relations, and the long-term care of valuable real estate assets. I have also seen firsthand where the traditional property management model falls short - particularly when rapid growth, corporate turnover, and high commissions begin taking priority over the homeowner.
I created Five Star Big Sky to offer something better: experienced, highly personal management built around stewardship, transparency, and measurable financial performance.
A Better Model
Why Five Star Big Sky?
We do not believe homeowners should automatically surrender 25% to 40% of their rental revenue simply because that has become the industry standard.
Five Star Big Sky offers an alternative: a flat-fee management model designed for high-performing vacation homes. For properties generating $200,000 or more in annual rental revenue, this structure can put tens of thousands of dollars back into the owner's account each year.
But our difference goes far beyond the fee.
Large management companies are often focused on adding more inventory. General managers and property managers come and go, homes are passed between team members, and owners can begin to feel like property numbers rather than clients. Five Star Big Sky was intentionally designed to operate differently.
We manage only 10 select homes. This allows us to maintain a laser focus on every property, every guest experience, and every owner relationship. Each home is supported by an established local property manager with more than a decade of Big Sky experience and a trusted housekeeping team known for exceptional standards and meticulous attention to detail.
When you select Five Star Big Sky, you become part of a small, carefully managed collection backed by decades of experience in vacation rental management, hospitality, revenue strategy, financial performance, and asset management.
Everything we do is guided by one defining principle: stewardship. We are entrusted with your home, your guest experience, and the performance of your investment - and we take that responsibility personally.
