You really should be on both, I have all 3 of our properties on both even though 90% of our reservations come from vrbo. If anything you are getting reviews and playing it safe in case something happens to vrbo. You are putting all your eggs in one basket otherwise. Ski resort is going to honestly probably be better off on Airbnb, or at least get more inquiries. Airbnb is used more for urban properties so anyone from big cities generally uses it more, and that's where a lot of your ski base comes from. Airbnb is a pretty simple set up, but you have to price in your sales tax because they won't do a percentage line item add on for some dumb reason.

I've been planning to add it but just haven't. We stay pretty well booked and I haven't wanted the hassle of avoiding double booking. But you're right, it's time. I can come up w a fail-safe system to avoid double and give pref to VRBO until they jack up fees.

We signed the K on our property yesterday. The sellers have been using both for the last two years...income from airbnb doubled in two years to 40% of gross. I hope to find out why prior to closing.
