Our Technology Investment

The tools we deploy for every owner we work with

When you partner with Hillside Stays, you get access to a professional-grade tech stack that took years to build, test, and refine — already configured, already integrated, already working. You don't have to figure out which tools to use or how to set them up. We do that. Then we teach you how it all works.

Where Your Fee Goes

A transparent look at your monthly retainer

Most operators in this space charge 20–30% of your revenue and tell you nothing about where it goes. We charge a flat monthly retainer and invest a meaningful portion of it directly into technology and systems that work for your property every single day.

Dylan — Advisory partnership, systems expertise & owner relationship

Your primary point of contact. Advisory support, strategy, systems configuration, and every decision that requires someone who knows your property and this market.

AI & Automation Stack — The technology running your property's workflows 24/7

Covers your full AI communications system, automation workflows, co-hosting platform, and owner reporting infrastructure — running continuously on your property's behalf.

Advisory
Your dedicated advisor — available, responsive, and invested in your property's performance
Systems
The technology running guest comms, pricing analysis, reports, and coordination automatically every day

Platform fees (Airbnb, VRBO) are charged separately by the platforms and come out of your gross booking revenue. We do not touch your platform funds. Revenue flows directly to you.

What This Means For You

What a well-built operation actually looks like

The result of combining professional systems with hands-on advisory support is a property that performs better — and an owner who understands exactly how it works.

💤
Operations That Run Without You
Your guest communications, turnover coordination, and booking workflows run automatically — built on systems we configured together and that you own outright.
📈
Revenue That Doesn't Stagnate
Weekly pricing analysis means your rates respond to real market conditions. More in peak season, fewer gaps in slow periods — and you always know the reasoning behind each recommendation.
🔍
Full Visibility, Always
Your owner portal gives you a live view of reservations, earnings, documents, and upcoming payouts — any device, anytime.
⭐
Reviews That Build Your Rating
Faster responses and smoother check-ins lead directly to better reviews — which means higher search placement and more bookings.
🤝
A Real Partner, Not a Platform
We're a small, selective operation based in Western North Carolina. You have direct access to Dylan — not a call center, not a support ticket. A real advisory relationship with someone invested in your property's performance.
📋
Monthly Clarity on Every Dollar
Your monthly report shows exactly what your property earned, what it cost, and what your payout is — no surprises, every month.
