About the Host

Born & raised in Chicago, Rachel found success early in her career in corporate marketing, eventually setting her sights west. She quickly fell in love with the mountains, our close-knit communities, and her future husband Rob Alday. Inspired by this mountain town life, along with a dedication to providing transparent, high-end service to both homeowners and guests, in 2010 Rachel & Rob set out to create Abode Luxury Rentals, a boutique luxury vacation rental & property management company that enabled them to share their love of these mountains with visitors near & far. They started with their first location in Park City, UT and as they grew their portfolio, along with their relationships with homeowners and guests alike, they decided to expand their services to two mountain towns near & dear to their hearts – Jackson Hole, WY and Sun Valley, ID.

Charmed by the local community and old west culture, Rob & Rachel have continued to build their Abode family in Jackson Hole and Sun Valley, splitting their time as locals in all three markets Park City. Over 15 years, 200+ properties, and a diversified business portfolio including concierge, laundry services, HOA management, Abode continues to be a force in their industry due to their proven expertise in destination marketing and deep commitment to high-end service.
