10% flat management fee

No setup fees, no hidden charges, no nickel-and-diming. One straightforward percentage of revenue collected — that’s it.

End-to-end management

Listings, pricing, guest communication, cleaning coordination, maintenance, and a custom digital guidebook for every property — fully handled.

NC-based, owner-first

We’re a small North Carolina company, not a national franchise. You’ll work directly with the people managing your property, not a call center.

The Hickory Market

A stronger STR market
than most owners realize

Hickory is the furniture capital of the world — home to Hickory Furniture Mart, the largest furniture shopping complex in the US — with Lake Hickory water access, the Catawba Science Center, and a growing arts and culinary scene in the historic SALT Block district.

Hickory Furniture Mart — world's largest

Hickory Furniture Mart hosts the Hickory Furniture Mart Market four times per year, drawing interior designers, retailers, and consumers from across the country for the largest furniture shopping complex in the world. Market weeks are among the highest-demand periods for Hickory STR properties.

Lake Hickory water recreation

Lake Hickory — a Catawba River reservoir — provides boating, fishing, and waterfront recreation within the city limits. Properties with lake access or proximity to public launches appeal to water recreation guests who want urban amenities alongside lake access.

SALT Block arts district

The SALT Block — Hickory's arts and sciences campus — houses the Catawba Science Center, the Hickory Museum of Art, and a performing arts venue. The district's programming and the growing restaurant scene around it attract weekend visitors from Charlotte and the Piedmont Triad.

Corporate & manufacturing travel

Hickory's manufacturing economy — furniture, fiber optics, and advanced manufacturing — generates business travel from vendors, corporate partners, and transitioning employees. This industrial business travel is year-round and provides a demand base independent of tourism seasonality.

Dynamic pricingRates adjust automatically based on local demand, events, and competitor pricing — so you’re never leaving money on the table.
Guest communicationEvery message answered promptly, every question handled — including after-hours and emergencies.
Cleaning & turnoverProfessional cleaning between every stay. Your property is always guest-ready.
Maintenance coordinationWe catch issues before guests do and coordinate repairs with vetted local vendors.
Digital guest guidebookEvery property gets a custom mobile guidebook — check-in instructions, local recommendations, house rules — reducing guest questions by half.
