Hey - Ryan! A good way to start is by looking at tourism demand, nightly rates, and how often places get booked - AirDNA or even browsing Airbnb can help. In Arkansas, Hot Springs is often mentioned as a solid market.

Hey there Jacob - Uplisting is a great option for calendar syncing and automation. Hospitable is strong for guest messaging and team coordination. OwnerRez offers robust features like direct booking, accounting, and insurance integration. Hostaway is another solid choice, it's feature-rich and integrates well with major OTAs. Guesty is powerful too, though the full version can be pricey; Guesty for Hosts is a more budget-friendly alternative. Definitely worth testing a few with free trials to see what fits your workflow best.

Post: Should I be listing somewhere other than Airbnb and VRBO

Hey Brett - I’ve seen more hosts branching out too. Expedia (via Vrbo) can be great for reaching a broader audience, especially international travelers. Hipcamp tends to work well for unique or nature-based stays like cabins or glamping setups. Curious if anyone’s had solid bookings through Booking.com or other lesser-known platforms?

Hey Gregory- It really depends on how many STRs you're managing. For 1–3 properties, the built-in tools on Airbnb or VRBO usually do the job just fine. If you're handling more or need advanced automation, it's best to test a few platforms to see which fits your workflow best.

Post: Keeping a backyard fountain clean suggestions?

Hey there Josh - You could install a timer to keep the fountain running consistently and use slow-release algaecide tablets that are safe for pets/kids if needed. Adding a mesh cover can also help minimize debris buildup between visits.

Post: Creating a new Airbnb Listing for a currently listed Property

Hey there Marc - If you take over the management and create a new listing using the same photos and wording, Airbnb likely won’t flag it as a duplicate, especially if the old listing is paused or removed. That said, it’s best to tweak the copy slightly and rename the photo files just to be safe. Also, consider updating some parts to reflect your personal hosting style—it can help with visibility and guest trust.

Post: Vacation Rental Agreement Questions

Hey Amy - You're right! Airbnb doesn't require guests to sign a vacation rental agreement, and forcing one outside their platform can lead to cancellations or refunds. That said, many STR owners still use rental agreements, especially for direct bookings or higher-risk stays (like large groups or long weekends). Airbnb doesn't have built-in e-signature tools, but some hosts link to a third-party service (like DocuSign or Jotform) after booking, while keeping it optional to avoid violating Airbnb's terms. It's a balance—use discretion and only require it when necessary.
