About Horizon
Horizon was founded as a home business in 1989 by long time coastal residence Scott and Edie Stovall.
As the parents of two then small children, we were a two person, part time enterprise who did it all, cleaning, book keeping, reservations and maintenance and each worked another job. Originally we managed both residential and short term rentals. When the business grew to be too large to operate out of our bedroom, we moved to a one room office (with no windows) downstairs from Kenny’s IGA grocery store. We did it all, accounting, reservations and scheduling, all by hand!
Lots of hard work, plenty of trial and error and many wonderful relationships later we grew into the largest vacation rental management company on the central coast. In our current office on the scenic D river in Lincoln City since 1995 we now focus only on short term rental management. We currently operate with a staff of about 35 in reservations, maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, accounting and management. Several employees in all departments have been with us for ten years or longer.
We are committed to providing the best possible vacation experience we can for our guests. We want to share our love of the Oregon Coast with visitors and provide a custom fit to YOUR home for their own memory making in this beautiful area we cherish. Our belief is that repeat guests, well treated and charged fairly, are the key to our (and your!) success.
We are committed to providing the highest quality service to our home owners that we can. We value honesty, communication and relationships. We will not try to sell you a lot of pie in the sky to get your account if we don’t truly feel your home is a good fit for our program. We WILL promise you timely accounting, professional accountability and honesty backed by years of being in business. Our staff is always available to answer any questions as best we can and we will deal with each and every owner concern as it arises on an individual basis until resolved. Many of our owner accounts have been in our program since the very beginning.
We are committed to providing a decent wage to our employees and providing them with a respectful working environment. We run a legitimate payroll. We do not try to get people to work “under the table” or try to penalize their wages or take advantage of anyone’s circumstances that are less than ours. We carry appropriate insurance to provide assistance to our employees as needed and provide health insurance, raises, vacation and sick time to our associates.
