ABOUT Pine & Peak Collective

built from real ownership

Pine & Peak Collective was founded from firsthand experience launching and operating short-term rentals in seasonal vacation markets.

As an active Airbnb Superhost with a 4.95-star average across 475+ guests in the Lakes Region of Maine and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, my work is grounded in real performance — not theory.

HI, I’M NICOLE — FOUNDER OF PINE & PEAK COLLECTIVE.

As a vacation rental owner operating in the Lakes Region of Maine and the White Mountains of New Hampshire for the past 5+ years, I've experienced firsthand what it takes to design, position, and refine rentals that perform beyond peak season.

What started as one property became two — and this year, a third in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Through both success and iteration, I've developed the systems, pricing strategies, and design instincts that now guide the advisory work I offer to independent homeowners.

I created Pine & Peak Collective because I kept wishing something like it had existed when I was starting out — structured guidance from someone who actually operates in these markets, not a generic playbook from someone who doesn't.

Certified Short-Term Rental Stylist, Staging Studio

I believe successful short-term rentals are not accidental.

They are intentionally positioned, thoughtfully designed, and operationally sound — particularly in seasonal markets where details matter.

My advisory work blends:

  • Revenue-conscious strategy

  • Design-forward direction

  • Operational structure

  • Real ownership experience

I don’t manage properties. I help homeowners build rentals that work — however they choose to manage them.

Many vacation homeowners want to approach their short-term rental with intention — not guess their way through pricing, design decisions, and operational systems.

Pine & Peak Collective was created to provide structured, strategic guidance for owners who want to build rentals that perform — whether they choose to manage independently or partner with a property manager.
