Platform Recommendations

What we actually use — and why

We've used or evaluated every platform below at our Nashville property. Here's the honest breakdown — pros, cons, and our take. Some links are affiliate links.

Airbnb
~3% host fee
WE USE
✓ Pros
Largest guest audience. Low host fees (~3%). Strong brand trust drives bookings. Robust review system.
✗ Cons
Guest fees can be high (10–14%), which affects price competitiveness. Algorithm-dependent visibility.
Our Perspective
Our primary platform. The volume and trust factor is unmatched. Start here.

VRBO
~8% host fee
WE USE
✓ Pros
No guest service fee — guests see the real price. Attracts families and longer stays. Less competition per listing.
✗ Cons
Higher host fee (~8%). Smaller audience than Airbnb. Less intuitive host dashboard.
Our Perspective
Great for diversification. Our Thanksgiving booking came from VRBO. Worth the dual listing effort.

PriceLabs
Dynamic pricing
RECOMMENDED
✓ Pros
Adjusts rates automatically based on demand, season, and local events. Most hosts see 10–40% revenue lift.
✗ Cons
Monthly subscription cost. Requires time to dial in base prices and minimum stays correctly.
Our Perspective
Highest ROI tool in our stack. Pays for itself within the first booking most months.

Turno
Cleaning automation
RECOMMENDED
✓ Pros
Auto-syncs cleaners to your booking calendar. Easy to find vetted local cleaners. Fully deductible.
