Partnering With Us

Brian owns short-term rentals himself and manages yours the same way he manages his own. Licensed (#537), insured, 5+ years in this market, and a 4.94 Airbnb rating across hundreds of reviews.

You'll always be able to reach Brian directly. Behind him: Paul runs operations, onboarding, and vendor coordination. Roseanne and Christian handle every guest message, before, during, and after each stay. Four people who know your cabin by name, not a ticket queue.

We deliberately cap the portfolio in the 30–40 property range and won't scale past it. Once a company is managing hundreds of cabins, every owner becomes an account number. That's a commitment, not a current status.

Most management companies take a cut of everything: cleaning fees, pet fees, the whole gross. We take 20% of nightly rent only, so we only make money when you make money. A 15% option is available depending on scope, and onboarding is pass-through, you pay exactly what the vendors charge us, with nothing marked up.

We build your Airbnb and Vrbo listings, write your copy and photo captions, sequence your photos, load your pricing strategy, configure automated guest messaging, sync your calendars, and connect your smart locks. You send us a checklist of information and access. We do the rest.

A dedicated third-party revenue manager reviews your rates two to three times a week against comp sets, booking windows, and seasonality. We price against eight distinct Smoky Mountain seasons rather than the one-size-fits-all approach most co-hosts use, each with its own floor and anchor price. The goal is gross income, not occupancy, a full calendar at the wrong price leaves money on the table.

Outside hosts pay us hundreds to build a listing and up to $99 per property per month to keep it optimized: a 35-point scoring rubric, named competitor reports, photo and hero-shot audits, copy refreshes, compliance sweeps, tracked month over month. Managed owners get all of it at no cost, and we make the changes for you.

Every two to three months, more often in peak season, our own maintenance team visits your cabin. Propane refilled, HVAC filters changed, lock and detector batteries replaced, bulbs swapped, consumables restocked, and the small stuff caught before it becomes big stuff. Plus three separate cleaning companies so a scheduling problem never becomes a dirty check-in, and licensed, insured vendors on site within 24 hours.

We carry third-party damage protection, so guest damage gets resolved without involving the guest or Airbnb. No confrontation, no retaliatory one-star sitting on your listing for a year.

All guest money flows into our trust account, you never set up Stripe or any payment processing. Our bookkeeping partner prepares your statement in the first five business days of the month, and once finalized your ACH goes out within 24 hours with an itemized income and expense statement. The industry-standard payout date is the 15th. We pay for expedited processing so you typically have your money between the 8th and the 12th.

Your first three months are month-to-month so we can both be sure it's a good fit, then annual renewals after that. We'd rather earn the year than lock you into it.
