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.
How much does vacation rental management cost?
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!

LOVE STAYING HERE

We booked this place last minute and still received great care! Great communication, clean space, awesome location. It had the comfort of home with the joy of a vacation. Always nice to feel safe and relaxed in a home away from home!

Phil was a great host. While we had a few issues during check-in, he was very responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions and making sure everything was resolved quickly. The home itself was beautiful, very comfortable, and it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully accounted for. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book with Phil again in the future.

Small but very cute and comfortable house in a wonderful location. We loved walking down the wooded dirt road to the quiet neighborhood beach for sunset. Perfect if you want to explore Saugatuck and neighboring towns but be a little removed for some peace and quiet. The bed and couch were comfortable, the gas grill worked great, and the house's interior was newly updated and squeaky clean (while still being homey). Highly recommend!

Phil was a wonderful communicator. Clear instructions for check-in and checkout. Neighborhood was lovely and quiet. Walk to the beach was nice. I think for a group of 4 it’d be the perfect house. For just a couple, probably more than I’d want to spend again for what it is.

We enjoyed our stay and especially appreciated the peaceful setting, relaxing atmosphere, and all of the wildlife we saw during our visit. The backyard was a great space for our pet to enjoy, and we really loved spending time in the hot tub. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was excellent quality, which made for great sleep. Overall, we had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the quiet location and outdoor space.
