Self-Manage vs. Hire Frontier

Not renting the property?

Own a cabin here that you don't rent, or only rent now and then?

Full management is for owners who want the rental business run for them. If you keep the house for yourselves, or rent it only occasionally, you probably want the property cared for rather than operated.

Home Care Concierge, from $500 per month. The base plan includes one scheduled monthly care cycle and one interior maintenance cleaning. Additional visits, guest turnovers, repairs, materials, and higher-frequency service are quoted separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

20% of net rental revenue. That is the entire recurring management fee. The 20% is calculated on what is left after platform host fees and occupancy taxes come out, not on the headline booking total; cleaning and pet fees pass through directly to cleaners and are not part of the calculation. There is no setup fee and no monthly minimum — if your cabin makes $0 in a month you owe us $0. Optional professional photography is $750 (only if you want our shoot). Everything else (utilities, consumables, linens, maintenance, pool / hot-tub service, permit renewals) is billed separately at cost with the receipt on your monthly statement. Maintenance items over $300 always require your approval first.

No. We believe in earning your business every month. Our management agreements can be cancelled with 30 days written notice. No early termination fees, no penalties.

Results vary by property, location, and amenities, but our owners typically see a 15-30% increase in revenue within the first 6 months through better pricing, listing optimization, and increased occupancy. We are happy to share performance data from comparable properties.

Absolutely. We handle the transition process to make it as smooth as possible. This includes transferring existing listings and reviews, setting up new systems, and coordinating with your current company on the handoff timeline.

We use dynamic pricing tools that analyze real-time market data, competitor rates, local events, seasonality, and demand trends to set optimal nightly rates. Pricing is adjusted daily to maximize your revenue. You can set minimum rate floors if you prefer.

We coordinate all turnover cleaning with our trusted local cleaning teams. Each clean follows a detailed checklist and is inspected for quality. Cleaning fees are charged to guests as part of their booking and do not come out of your management fee.

We have a strict no-party policy at all properties. We use guest screening, noise monitoring devices, and occupancy limits to enforce this. If a guest violates the policy, we handle the situation immediately and pursue damage claims on your behalf.

You will receive a detailed monthly owner statement showing all bookings, revenue, expenses, and net payouts. You also have access to a real-time owner portal where you can check performance at any time.

Of course! It is your cabin. Simply block off the dates you want in our shared calendar. We recommend giving at least 2 weeks notice for peak season dates to avoid displacing bookings, but off-season dates can usually be blocked on shorter notice.

We manage vacation rental cabins in Broken Bow, Hochatown, and the surrounding McCurtain County area of southeast Oklahoma. If your property is in this region, we would love to talk.

We are a locally-owned, owner-operated company, not a franchise or remote management firm. Our team lives and works in Broken Bow, and we treat every property like it is our own. We combine local expertise with modern technology, data-driven pricing, and genuine hospitality to deliver better results for our owners and guests.

Yes, on the Property Manager plan lodging-tax filing is part of the service, and we track license renewals. What is owed depends on where the cabin sits. Inside Hochatown town limits the Town charges a 4% lodging tax on the full amount the guest pays, including cleaning and pet fees, filed with the Town monthly by the 15th. The Town's guidance is that it has not received lodging tax from Airbnb, VRBO, or similar platforms and that paying it remains the owner's responsibility, so it is not safe to assume the platform handled it. The Town also requires an STR license, which stays in your name. Our Hochatown STR license and lodging tax guide lays out every tax and links the sources. We are not a CPA or attorney; confirm your own filings with a tax professional.

You should carry a short-term rental policy (not just a standard homeowner policy, most exclude STR use). Carriers we see owners use include Proper Insurance, Safely, and CBIZ. Airbnb's AirCover and Vrbo's Liability Insurance add a layer on top of bookings through those platforms, but are not substitutes for a dedicated policy. We are not licensed insurance advisors, confirm coverage details with a broker.

Existing bookings transfer with the listing. We honor the rates and house rules your guests already agreed to, then optimize everything from your go-live date forward. In most switches we have zero cancellations, guests see a smoother experience, not a disruption.

We use dynamic pricing software that adjusts your nightly rate daily based on real booking pace, local events, weekend demand, and comp activity in Broken Bow specifically, not a national model. We also hand-review rates for event weekends (Beavers Bend marathon, Choctaw rodeo, etc.) that automated tools miss, and adjust minimum-stay rules around high-demand dates.
