The Co-Hosting Model Explained

How Airbnb Co-Hosting Works with PeakStay

Co-hosting is not property management. You keep your listing, your reviews, and your direct payouts. We handle everything else — pricing, guests, maintenance, and operations.

The PeakStay Process

01

You reach out — we prepare your free revenue report

Every inquiry receives a free custom revenue projection built around your specific property, location, amenities, and current Smoky Mountain market data. We prepare it manually and deliver it within 2 business days. No obligation, no generic calculator estimates.

02

We walk through the report together

We schedule a call to review your revenue projection, answer your questions about the co-hosting model, and discuss whether your property is a fit for PeakStay. There's no pressure — we want you to make the right decision for your property.

03

We optimize your listing and pricing

Once you decide to move forward, we audit your existing Airbnb and Vrbo listings, optimize your copy and photo strategy, and set up dynamic pricing calibrated to Smoky Mountain demand signals. Your listing stays in your name throughout.

04

We handle day-to-day operations

From the moment your listing is optimized, PeakStay handles all guest communication (24/7), maintenance coordination, vendor scheduling, and performance monitoring. You receive monthly reports and have access to your owner portal at any time.

05

You receive direct payouts — we invoice separately

Airbnb and Vrbo pay your bank account directly. PeakStay invoices our co-hosting fee separately at the end of each month. You are never waiting on us to release your money — there is no trust account, no pooled funds.

06

You stay in control — and can leave anytime

PeakStay operates on a 30-day agreement — true month-to-month with no long-term lock-in. Either party can end the partnership with 30 days' notice. Your listing, your reviews, and your direct booking relationships are always yours.
