North Georgia & Metro Atlanta

Your property should be earning more than it is.

We run short-term rentals for owners who are done running them themselves. Same playbook we use on our own portfolio.

Why properties underperform

It's rarely the house.

Pricing set once, then forgotten

A rate that made sense in June is leaving money on the table in October and sitting empty in February. Most calendars are never touched again after launch.

A listing that sells the wrong thing

Two comparable homes on the same road, same amenities, and one books thirty percent more nights. Owners almost never find out why. The listing looks fine to the person who wrote it.

Every problem lands on you

The 11pm message, the last-minute cleaner cancellation, the broken lock code. Self-managing isn't free. It costs your evenings and your weekends.

Every one of those is an operations problem, not a property problem. That is where we come in. We take the work off your plate and run your property on the same playbook we run ours, so it earns more while you think about it less.

Whisper Creek Retreat · Morganton

We built the playbook on our own roof first.

Two bedrooms, a creek, a sauna, and a hot tub under a covered deck. It runs at 77.9% occupancy because of how it's priced and presented, not because it photographs well.

How it works

Four steps from where you are to hands off.

Free rental analysis

Send us the address. We pull live comps and show you what the property should be earning, and what's holding it back.

Walkthrough & plan

We agree on the specific upgrades and repositioning we expect to pay for themselves, and what we'd quote to run it.

Onboarding

Roughly 30 days from signed agreement to a live, optimized listing. Photos, pricing, permits, tax accounts, systems.

You get paid

Monthly payout, monthly statement, and a manager who tells you how the property did against the market, not just against last year.


Our own portfolio

We don't pitch a playbook we haven't run.

Every system we'd put on your property was built on ours first. Here's how they're actually performing.

Performance on properties we own and operate, and the corresponding figures for similar listings in each area, as reported by Airbnb. Occupancy counts booked nights against nights the property was available to book. The Coventry Tiny House figures reflect its period as a nightly rental; it now operates as a furnished mid-term rental. Past performance of our properties is not a projection or guarantee for yours.

What guests say

This is what your guests will say.

Reviews are the compounding asset in this business. High ratings earn placement, placement earns bookings, bookings earn more reviews. Protecting that loop is most of the job.

Our terms

Simple terms, no surprises.

Every property is different, so we quote after we've looked at your numbers, not before. What doesn't change is how the relationship works.

Start with the analysis

The short version

  • Our fee is a percentage of nightly rental revenue only. Not cleaning. Not taxes.
  • No setup or onboarding fee when you fund the improvement plan we recommend.
  • Supplies are ordered at cost. We don't mark them up.
  • Utilities stay in your name. You keep control of the asset.
  • You fund improvements, and you keep every dollar of the value.
  • Term and rate are quoted after the analysis, once we have looked at your numbers.
Who runs it

Operators first. CPAs second.

Reece Retreats is Zach and Victoria Reece. We built a short-term rental portfolio across North Georgia and metro Atlanta from scratch, and we still run every one of them ourselves.

We're both CPAs. Victoria spent nine years in real estate tax at Deloitte before going full time on this. That's why your owner statement will make sense, and why nobody has to guess what a line item means.

Our story
Zach and Victoria Reece in the North Georgia mountains

Where we operate

Two markets we actually know.

Covered deck hot tub in the North Georgia mountains
Mountains

North Georgia

Blue Ridge, Morganton, Ellijay, Cherry Log, Jasper, McCaysville. Cabin country, driven by leaf season, the holidays, and hot tub weather. We own and operate here, and our crew is local.

Decatur home exterior
City

Metro Atlanta

Decatur, Atlanta intown, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Event demand, university traffic, hospital and corporate travel, plus furnished mid-term stays when that's the better use of the property.

Not in one of these markets? Ask anyway. If we're not the right manager for your property, we'll tell you that directly.

Questions owners ask

Before you call.

How much do you charge?

We quote per property after the rental analysis, because a four-bedroom cabin two hours away and an intown bungalow are not the same job. What's consistent: the fee is a percentage of nightly rental revenue only. We don't charge it on cleaning fees or on taxes.

Who pays for improvements?

You do, and you keep the value. We only recommend upgrades we expect to pay for themselves in added revenue, we tell you the reasoning, and we manage the work. When you fund the plan we recommend, we waive the onboarding and setup fee.

Do I still control my property?

Yes. You own it, you own the furnishings and improvements, utilities stay in your name, and owner stays are yours to block. We run the business on top of it.

How long is the agreement?

We quote the term alongside the rate, after the analysis. What doesn't change is your protection: we agree a trailing twelve-month revenue baseline up front, in writing, and if we miss it you can exit penalty free. The term exists because the first months are the investment period, which is when the ramp happens. It is not there to hold you somewhere you don't want to be.

Do you handle permits and lodging taxes?

Yes. Registration, certificates, and the monthly or quarterly lodging tax filings get set up at onboarding and kept current. Your monthly statement includes the support schedule those returns require. This is our favorite part, which tells you something about us.

What if the honest answer is that my property won't perform?

We'll say so in the analysis. We only take on properties we think we can win with, and telling you before you spend money is worth more to us than one more door under management.
