Storm Watch List · Winter 2026-27

The Storm Watch List

Your rental, photographed in falling snow. Twenty spots for our first Storm Watch season.

See how it works

Summer photos are costing you winter bookings

Guests booking a winter getaway in Bethel are picturing snow. Soft flakes coming down past the porch light, fresh powder on the roofline, the hot tub steaming in the cold. If your listing photos were taken in July, they're asking guests to imagine all of that.

The Storm Watch List fixes that. Reserve a spot now, and when a real winter storm rolls into the Bethel area, we come to you and photograph your property while the snow is actually falling. No fake snow overlays. No stock imagery. Just your place, in the conditions your guests are dreaming about.

How it works

1

Reserve your spot

Put down a $300 deposit to join the list. Spots fill in the order deposits come in.

2

We watch the forecast

From December through March, we track every storm heading for western Maine.

3

You get the call

When a shootable storm is on the way, we contact the next properties on the list, usually 24 to 48 hours ahead.

4

We shoot in the snow

About an hour on site, all exterior, while it's coming down.

5

You get your photos

Five edited images, ready to become your new cover photo.

Choose your place in line

One extra winter booking pays for the shoot. The photos keep working every winter after.

The Storm Watch List is open to properties within 20 minutes' drive of Bethel village, including Bethel, Newry, Greenwood, Gilead, and Hanover. A tight radius means we can reach several properties while it's still snowing.

Hosts behind the camera

We're STR owners, designers, and photographers based right here in Bethel. We know what makes a guest stop scrolling and book, because we host our own properties through the same winters you do.

Frequently asked questions

We only shoot vacant properties, so your guests are never disturbed. If you're booked, just pass and keep your spot for the next storm. A turnover day works too: we can usually shoot between checkout and check-in.
Your deposit rolls over to next season, or we schedule a bluebird fresh-snow shoot instead.
You'll move to the bluebird morning after, at no extra charge, and keep your place in line.
We go in list order, but if a date doesn't work for you, you can pass and keep your spot for the next storm.
Up to five, depending on how long the snow lasts and road conditions. If we can't reach you, you keep your spot or move to the bluebird morning after.
Once we confirm your property is in our service area, we'll email you a secure card link for the $300 deposit. The balance is due when your gallery is delivered.
