Who We Are

Your Hosts

We’re Phil & Casey, the dynamic team behind The Boutique Home Group. What began back in late 2017 as Boutique Homes of Galena—a small collection of cozy, character-filled retreats—has grown into a thoughtfully curated portfolio of unique vacation rentals across Illinois, Michigan, Arizona, and Texas. Whether you're seeking a quiet weekend escape or a luxurious getaway, each of our homes is designed to deliver comfort, style, and a touch of charm. Every detail is intentional, every space welcoming—because we believe your stay should feel nothing short of exceptional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you pet friendly?
Yes! We love our furry friends and all of our homes are pet friendly for a small additional fee.
What services are included in vacation rental management?
Full-service management: dynamic pricing, professional photography, listing creation on Airbnb + Vrbo, 24/7 guest support, vetted cleaning teams, maintenance coordination, restocking, and monthly owner statements. You own the house — we handle the rest.

Our commission rates start at just 15% of booked revenue only — no upfront fees. Exact rates depend on the home and services. Email us for a free rental projection!
What group sizes can you accommodate?
We offer homes for the single traveller all the way through to large groups of 14 people.
What areas does The Boutique Home Group serve?
Our office is based in Chicago, Illinois and we manage vacation rentals across the Midwest, including Northwest Illinois, Southwest Michigan and more! We also work with owners in parts of TX and AZ!
Do you work with Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct bookings?
Yes. We optimize and manage your listing on Airbnb and Vrbo, and can help set you up on our direct booking site to save you platform fees.
What makes The Boutique Home Group different from large property managers?
You get Phil, not a call center! We’re boutique by design and only take on a limited number of homes so we can treat each one like our own. Our goal is more net income for you, not just more bookings.
I don't see the perfect home for me. What should I do?
Reach out to us - we are adding new properties to our collection all the time!
Are early check-in's / late check out's available?
Yes, but subject to availability and a small additional hourly rate.
Are there any additional charges?
The price you see when booking is the price you'll pay including all taxes and fees. However, if you choose an 'add on' such as bringing a pet or pool heating, this will be a separate charge.
Are you qualified to manage my property for me?
Absolutely! Phil is a licensed real estate professional in IL & MI!

Why our guests

LOVE STAYING HERE

Phil's place was very nice and comfortable. He was extremely responsive and helpful. We particularly liked the outdoor spaces and little covered patio with very comfortable outdoor furniture.

This quaint historic home is tucked into a peaceful corner of Galena, with a private drive and a spacious, fenced yard for pups of all sizes, and a relaxing hot tub that melts stress away. We found the property peaceful despite the nearby railroad—we barely noticed it. The location is within walking distance (for most) of downtown, and the tree-lined yard makes it feel like you’re staying in a forest. The neighbors are also friendly and quiet. Phil is also a great communicator and shared some excellent recommendations. Five-star stay, hands down.

This place is a true hidden gem! The house was spotless, incredibly spacious, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We had the best time here and truly enjoyed every moment. The host was wonderful — very responsive, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. Communication was easy, and we always felt well taken care of. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful getaway.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, but I digress. Phil’s place was absolutely beautiful, easily accessible, and was a great romantic getaway for my wife and I. Amenities galore and the vibe of the house was excellent!! The turnstile was a blast from the past!! Played alot of records, and danced the night away!!!

The view was nice. it was in a quiet area. The bedroom curtains didn't keep the morning sun out very well at all. The room also got a little warm at night as well.

We really enjoyed our stay at Phil’s place! We walked to the Lake every day and walked on the beach. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard and we enjoyed the hot tub. We love the area and spent time in Fennville and Saugatuck.
