explOR

My brilliant (ha) mind is always thinking. Here is another business idea that I am GIVING away...you are welcome.

The idea is titled "explOR" or "exploregon".

We always day dream about owning a little vacation home somewhere in Oregon. All of our friends have a similar dream. We all talk about it often. However, where would you buy it?!? There are too many great places in this state to pick from. (Another minor issue would be affording it....but details like that are less fun to ponder...).

Here is the vision: I want someone to offer a timeshare-ish deal. Instead of investing in a single vacation home, people could buy shares of explOR. Buying into explOR would give you partial ownership of vacation homes all over this awesome state. Hood River, Bend, Government Camp, the Coast, downtown Portland (I think Pearl District)....

The homes are all gorgeous (of course) and in prime prime locations (on the slopes, on the beach, etc.). They are always clean when you arrive and they get cleaned after you leave...so while you are there, you just enjoy. You can book online with minimal notice (similar to zip cars) and you can always get the location that you want because the explOR company gets all of the logistics figured out....they line up just the right amount of properties in just the right locations.

The ski house could look something like this inside(minus the dog). Photo from Architectural Digest.

The beach "shack" could be like this...

The view from the bedroom in the Hood River place would be something like this...

You get the idea. So, who wants take it and make it happen?!?!? Once its up and running, be sure to give me a great deal (free?!) on my share...it was my idea after all....

P.S. This idea would be great in Massachusetts (New England) as well....think Cape Cod, Nantucket, the Green Mountains, The White Mountains, Bean Town, Burlington, the NH Lakes Region....
