Porch Light Mission Statement:

Our goal is to provide an exceptional vacation rental experience for owners and their guests.

A Women-Owned Boutique Vacation Rental Management Company

Have you ever had something amazing blossom from the most unexpected beginnings? Or a chance meeting that changed the course of your life? That’s exactly how Porch Light Vacation Rentals came to be.

Lisa, a seasoned businesswoman and entrepreneur, had a vision—she wanted to create a vacation rental management company that prioritized exceptional service for property owners and unforgettable stays for guests. But she also knew she wanted a partner who shared her values and commitment to excellence.

On an ordinary fall day, Lisa crossed paths with Jennifer, a friendly acquaintance from their children’s school community. A casual conversation quickly turned into something more—they discovered a shared passion for hospitality, a dedication to serving others, and a wealth of experience in complementary areas. From that serendipitous encounter, Porch Light Vacation Rentals was born.

At Porch Light, we believe in tailored management solutions to meet the unique needs of each homeowner. Whether you want to maximize direct bookings, maintain impeccable cleaning standards, or leverage a strategic marketing and social media presence, we are here to help.

We are committed to the concept of Stewardship

It is the driving force in our work with homeowners – stewardship of the business and of the property; with guests – stewardship of the investment and the experience; with team members – stewardship of talents and of livelihood.

If you are interested in working with a team that believes that the concept of stewardship, we would love to talk to you. Please reach out. No pressure – we love meeting new people and talking about the industry and community we are passionate about.

Our hearts are deeply invested in our community on several levels. We seek to support local businesses, artisans, and craftspeople. We have made lasting industry partnerships and seek to establish more such relationships. There is nothing better than being able to make recommendations to guests that consist of exclusively Yamhill County experiences and businesses. We are also committed to paying our team members a living wage according to statistics provided by state and federal agencies. Finally, Porch Light annually gives a portion of our gross revenue to a local charity, most recently Unidos Bridging Community , a community-based, non-profit committed to building bridges of understanding and support among the Latinx and non-Latinx community through education of community members, policy and community advocacy, immigration support, and leadership development in an environment where collaboration and relationship-building is essential.

Stewardship is lens through which we view our place in this world. We would enjoy talking with you further about our values. Please don’t hesitate to contact us!
