Now Accepting Founding Partners — Smoky Mountains
Your Smoky Mountain Estate. Expertly Co-Hosted.
PeakStay co-hosts your Smoky Mountain property so you keep your listing, your reviews, your brand, and your direct Airbnb and Vrbo payments — while we handle everything that drives revenue and five-star guest experiences.
Meet the Team Behind PeakStay
Owner-operators who manage their own money the same way they'll manage yours.
Spencer and Ashley are short-term rental investors, operators, and educators who co-founded a luxury vacation rental management company in 2019. By 2023 their team was managing over 60 high-performing properties across five territories in Canada, and both founders had left their corporate careers to run their portfolio full-time.
They personally own six vacation rentals, each managed to the same standard they bring to every co-hosting partnership. That's not a marketing claim — it means every pricing decision, every guest communication protocol, and every maintenance standard they apply to your property is one they live by themselves.
The Smoky Mountains represent a deliberate market choice: one of the highest-demand short-term rental corridors in North America, with a premium cabin segment that rewards exactly the kind of hands-on, detail-obsessed co-hosting that Spencer and Ashley have built their reputation on. PeakStay is their Smokies chapter — and they're accepting a small number of founding partners to build it right.
Founding Partner Opportunity
We're new to the Smokies. That's the opportunity.
PeakStay is launching in the Smoky Mountains as your dedicated co-host — not a management company that takes over your listing. You keep your Airbnb and Vrbo accounts, your reviews, your brand, and your direct guest payments. We handle everything else: pricing, guest communication, maintenance, and the day-to-day work of keeping your property at five-star standards. The first 5 qualified founding partners lock in a discounted co-hosting rate for life.

Know the Difference
Vacation rental co-hosting — not a management company.
The distinction matters more than most owners realize. A management company takes over your property and builds their brand with it. PeakStay operates entirely on your behalf — building your brand, growing your accounts, and returning every dollar directly to you.
What Your Co-Host Handles
Airbnb & Vrbo co-hosting services that drive revenue and five-star reviews.
As your co-host, we handle everything that drives revenue and protects your guest experience — while you keep your listing, reviews, and direct OTA payments. Vendor services like cleaning, lawn care, and maintenance are coordinated by us and billed to you at cost, with no markup.
Dynamic Revenue Management
A dedicated revenue manager monitors your listing daily — adjusting pricing based on local events, booking pace, seasonal demand, and competitor rates to maximize every dollar of your earning potential. You keep every payout directly from Airbnb and Vrbo.
Listing Optimization
Professional photography, compelling descriptions, and SEO-optimized content for your existing Airbnb and Vrbo listings. Your listing stays in your account — we just make it perform like the premium property it is.
Complete Guest Communication
Every inquiry, booking, pre-arrival message, check-in question, and guest issue is handled by our team — promptly and professionally. Guests feel taken care of. You never have to pick up the phone. All reviews go to your listing.
Guest-Impact Maintenance
Anything that affects a guest's stay — a broken hot tub, a faulty lock, an HVAC issue — is handled immediately. We coordinate and schedule vetted local contractors on your behalf, so guests are never left waiting.
Monthly Performance Reports
Every month, you receive a clear, detailed performance report covering revenue earned, occupancy rate, average nightly rate, booking channel breakdown, and year-over-year comparisons. No guesswork — just full visibility into how your listing is performing.
Transparent Owner Portal
Real-time visibility into your bookings, revenue, occupancy, and maintenance activity. Payout notifications and a full record of every guest stay and service call — always accessible, any time.
Vendor Coordination
We source, vet, and schedule your cleaning crews, lawn care, snow removal, and garbage collection. These services are billed to you at cost — no markups, no surprises. You get the convenience without the overhead.
The Co-Host Difference
Guests who leave five-star reviews.
Five-star reviews aren't luck — they're the result of responsive communication, seamless check-ins, and problems solved before guests notice them. As your co-host, we handle every touchpoint so your listing earns the reviews that drive future bookings — and every review goes directly to your account.

Co-hosting done right. You stay in control.
We co-host your listing — you keep your Airbnb and Vrbo accounts, your reviews, your brand, and your direct guest payments. We hold every property we co-host to a high standard because every listing reflects our reputation.
You Own Everything.
Your Airbnb and Vrbo listings stay in your name. Your reviews accumulate on your account. Your guests pay you directly after arrival. We are your co-host — not your listing owner.
Your Co-Host Knows Your Property.
You'll have one dedicated point of contact who handles everything — from guest communication to maintenance coordination. You'll know their name. They'll know yours.
Proven System. New Market.
We're new to the Smokies — and honest about it. But the co-hosting system we're bringing isn't new. It's been refined across properties in North America, and we're applying it here with the hunger of a team that has everything to prove.
30-Day Agreement. No Lock-In.
We operate on a simple 30-day agreement — true month-to-month with no long-term commitment. Either party can end the partnership with 30 days' notice. That accountability is why our owners stay — by choice, not obligation.

Owner Testimonials
What Our Co-Hosting Partners Say
These are testimonials from property owners we've co-hosted in our existing markets. Smokies-specific testimonials coming as we onboard our founding partners.
“PeakStay's team treats my cabin like it's their own. The monthly reporting is the best I've ever seen, and the guest feedback has been five-star across the board.”
“I was skeptical about co-hosting at first, but Spencer and Ashley walked me through everything. My revenue is up and I haven't had to deal with a single guest issue myself.”
“What I appreciate most is that I kept my Airbnb listing, my reviews, and my direct payments. They just made everything better without taking over.”
Testimonials are from existing co-hosting partners in our Canadian markets. We'll add Smokies-specific testimonials as our founding partners come on board.

How the Money Works
You get paid first. Always.
Airbnb and Vrbo pay you directly after every stay. PeakStay invoices its fee separately — you are never waiting on us to release your money.
Guest pays the full booking amount to Airbnb or Vrbo at the time of reservation.
After the guest checks in, Airbnb or Vrbo releases the full payout straight to your bank account.
The payout is yours. Airbnb and Vrbo pay your bank account directly. Your listing, your reviews, your income.
We invoice our co-hosting fee monthly. No surprise deductions — you always see exactly what you earned before we're paid.
Co-Host Partner Standards
What we look for in a Smoky Mountain vacation rental co-hosting partner.
We evaluate every property individually against a clear set of criteria. This isn't about being difficult — it's about ensuring that every listing we co-host is one we can genuinely perform for.
Illustrative standard
A strong first impression begins before check-in.
Illustrative standard
Guest-ready details protect the stay—and the review.
4+ Bedrooms
We specialize in larger properties that attract group travel — families, reunions, corporate retreats, and multi-generational trips. These guests book longer stays, pay premium rates, and generate the revenue that makes professional management worthwhile for everyone.
Premium Amenities
Hot tubs, private pools, game rooms, home theaters, outdoor kitchens, fire pits — the features that drive search visibility and justify premium nightly rates. Properties with standout amenities consistently outperform the market and attract higher-quality guests.
Strong Revenue Potential
We assess each listing's earning potential based on size, location, amenities, and current market demand. We're looking for properties that can realistically generate strong annual revenue with professional co-hosting — not just fill a calendar.
Guest-Ready Condition
Your property doesn't need to be perfect — but it needs to be ready for guests. We look for properties that are well-maintained, properly furnished, and free of deferred maintenance issues that would impact the guest experience or generate negative reviews.
Sevier County, TN
We currently co-host properties throughout Sevier County — Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Wears Valley, Cosby, and Townsend. Proximity to the Smoky Mountains National Park, local attractions, and key corridors directly impacts occupancy and nightly rate potential.
Owner Alignment
The best co-hosting partnerships work both ways. We look for owners who want a true hands-off experience, trust their co-host to handle day-to-day operations, and are focused on long-term revenue performance — while keeping full ownership of their listing and brand.
Not sure if your property qualifies?
Don't rule yourself out. Our standards exist to protect the guest experience — but every property is different. If you're on the fence, just reach out. We'll give you an honest answer with no pressure and no obligation.
Just Ask UsOur Track Record
Yes, we're new to the Smokies. The system isn't.
We'd rather be honest with you than oversell ourselves. PeakStay is launching in the Smoky Mountains — and we're proud to say so. But the co-hosting system, the team, and the track record we're bringing here are not new.
Our founding team has personally co-hosted and operated 65+ short-term rentals across the U.S. and Canada — combining operator experience across markets, partnerships, and direct ownership.
The owners of PeakStay personally own six high-producing vacation rentals. We manage our own money the same way we'll manage yours — because we have real skin in the game.
Our co-hosting system has been refined across markets in both the U.S. and Canada. We're applying that same proven playbook here in the Smokies — with the hunger of a team that has everything to prove in a new market.
Owner-Operators First
We own and actively manage our own vacation rentals. Every decision we make for your property is one we'd make for ours.
Proven Across Two Countries
Our founding team has personally co-hosted and operated 65+ short-term rentals across the U.S. and Canada. The Smokies is a new market for us — the system is not.
Selective by Design
We take on fewer properties so we can do more for each one. Your listing gets our full attention, not a fraction of it.
30-Day Agreement
A simple 30-day agreement — no long-term lock-in. Either party can end the partnership with 30 days' notice. We earn your continued partnership through results, not contracts.
Free for Every Inquiry — No Obligation
Know exactly what your property could earn before you sign anything.
Before we ask you to commit to anything, we put together a free custom revenue report for every property that reaches out.

Projected Annual Gross Revenue
A realistic earnings estimate based on your bedroom count, amenities, location, and current booking data from comparable properties in your market.

We model your expected occupancy across peak season, shoulder season, and off-season — so you understand the full annual picture, not just the summer months.
Average Nightly Rate Benchmarks
See how comparable properties in your area are priced and where your estate sits in the market — and where dynamic pricing can push your rates higher.
Amenity Uplift Opportunities
We identify which amenities — hot tubs, game rooms, pools, outdoor kitchens — would have the highest revenue impact on your specific property before you go live.
Revenue Upside vs. Self-Managing
A side-by-side comparison of what most owners earn managing on their own versus what a professionally co-hosted, dynamically priced listing typically generates — net of our co-hosting fee.
No Obligation. No Generic Estimates. You Keep Your Listing.
Your report is built around your property — not a template.
We prepare each revenue report manually after reviewing your property details. Qualified properties receive their report within 2 business days of submitting an inquiry.
