Cascadia Getaways

Property Management

At Cascadia Getaways, the cleaning fee isn’t about profit. It’s a reinvestment—into our properties, into our team, and into a consistently excellent guest experience. Here’s a transparent breakdown of what this fee includes and why it matters.

Professional Labor & Quality Control

We employ a local, W2-based team—not contractors—ensuring stability, safety, and high standards. Every cleaning includes:

  • Property-specific checklists

  • Time-tracked labor via QuickBooks Workforce

  • Photo documentation in EZCare

  • In-person inspections before guest arrival

These layers uphold our Standard Property Appearance (SPA) protocol, ensuring each home looks and feels perfect every time.

Mt. Hood Cleaner Bonus Program

To attract and retain talent in this seasonal market, our Mt. Hood cleaners receive:

  • Piece-rate pay adjusted for drive time, supply runs, potential call backs and realistic durations

  • Quarterly bonuses of 10–20% based on:

    • Guest review cleanliness scores (via Sparrow AI)

    • Internal inspection results and SPA adherence

This model boosts quality, retention, and pride of work.

Guest Supplies & Restocking

We stock each home with essentials that elevate the guest experience:

  • Bathroom & Kitchen: Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, dish & hand soap

  • Laundry essentials: Dishwasher and laundry pods

  • Paper goods: Two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, two paper towels per kitchen

  • Coffee kit: Locally sourced ground coffee or Keurig pods, filters, sugar container

  • Trash bags: For all interior cans (outdoor bags not included)

All consumables are replenished and neatly organized each turn.

Offsite Linen & Laundry Services

Select homes benefit from our offsite commercial laundry service, which includes:

  • Sanitization and stain treatment

  • Pressing and professional folding

  • Inventory tracking for consistent quality

This ensures presentation and hygiene are flawless for every guest.

Hot Tub Service (If Applicable)

Homes with hot tubs receive service after every stay by a certified tech:

  • Water testing and balancing

  • Filter cleaning and system maintenance

  • Draining and refilling as needed

This keeps your hot tub safe, compliant, and guest-ready.

Inspections & Damage Reporting

Each turnover includes a post-clean inspection with EZCare. Inspectors:

  • Complete final checklists

  • Submit photo documentation

  • Identify and report damages or missing items

We alert homeowners to major issues within 24 hours and provide a resolution plan. The majority of guest damages can be covered by our Safely damage protection program.

Why This Fee Matters

The cleaning fee helps ensure:

  • Fair wages and benefits with retention incentives

  • Reliable quality control and damage checks

  • Fully stocked, guest-ready amenities

  • Reduced risk of poor reviews and emergency service calls

It’s a shared investment in protecting your property and delivering exceptional hospitality.

Final Thought

At Cascadia Getaways, we don’t inflate cleaning fees for profit. Every dollar supports the care of your home, the success of our team, and the satisfaction of every guest who walks through the door.
