Managing a vacation rental is a second job.
Nobody signed up for that.

You got into this because it sounded like a good idea. Passive income. Your property working for you. Maybe you even bought something specifically for it.

Then the messages started. The pricing questions. The "is early check-in available?" at 6am. The review you got dinged on because the Wi-Fi router needed a restart.

Or maybe you're with a national management company and the results just… aren't what they showed you in the pitch deck.

Either way — you're here because something isn't working the way it should. That's where we come in.

Why Cake Vacation Rentals

What working with a local manager actually looks like

Three things that separate us from the national platforms and the call-center management companies.

01

We know this market because we live in it.

We manage 25+ properties across the Tri-Cities — from downtown Johnson City to the hills outside Bristol. We know what guests are coming here for: Bristol Motor Speedway weekends, Appalachian Trail access, ETSU move-in, Dollywood day trips. We price around actual local demand — not an algorithm running from a city three states away.

02

Your guests hear from a real person.

When a guest has a question at 10pm, they're not getting a ticket number. They're getting a response from someone who knows your property. That's how you get five-star reviews. And five-star reviews are how you get better bookings.

03

Hands-off for you doesn't mean hands-off for us.

We handle listing setup, photography coordination, pricing, guest communication, cleaning coordination, and maintenance follow-up. You get regular updates and transparent reporting. What you don't get is a pile of problems in your inbox.

The Process

Three steps to getting your property on track

Simple. Straightforward. No mystery.

1

We talk.

Tell us about your property. We'll ask the right questions and give you an honest read on what it could earn and what it would take to get there. No pitch deck. No pressure.

2

We get it ready.

We help you prep the listing — photos, description, pricing setup, platform optimization. If it's already live and underperforming, we audit what's there and fix it.

3

We run it.

From that point on, we handle the day-to-day. You stay in the loop without being on call.

Full-Service Management

What we take off your plate

You stay informed. You stay in control. You just don't have to do any of it yourself.

Listing Setup & Optimization

Full setup on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and our direct booking site at staywithcake.com. Professional copy, great photos, and a listing that actually converts.

Dynamic Pricing

Pricing tuned to local events, NASCAR weekends, ETSU calendars, and seasonal demand — not a national average that has nothing to do with your market.

Guest Communication

From first inquiry through checkout. Every message handled. Every question answered. Real responses from real people who know your property.

Cleaning & Turnover

Coordinated with professional local cleaners for every stay. The cleaning fee passes directly to you — we don't mark it up. Our job is accountability, not a cut of the cleaning budget.

Maintenance Follow-Up

Under $500 we handle it and let you know afterward. Over $500 we call you first. You're never surprised by a bill you didn't approve.

Owner Reporting

Transparent monthly statements with every payout. You always know what your property made, what was spent, and what landed in your account.

What Owners Say

Don't take our word for it

✏️ Note for Anthony: Add a real owner testimonial here before publishing. The best format is a specific result + what they liked about working with Cake.

Example: "Before Cake, I was managing it myself and leaving money on the table. Within three months they had it fully booked on peak weekends and I hadn't lifted a finger."

Not sure what your property could earn?

That's usually the first question. We can give you a realistic estimate based on your specific property, its location in the Tri-Cities, and what's actually performing in this market — not a generic number pulled from a national tool.

Local. Not a Franchise.

We're local.
That's not a tagline.

Cake Vacation Rentals is run out of Johnson City by Anthony Piercy — a licensed REALTOR® and property manager who's been working in the Tri-Cities market for years. This isn't a franchise. It's not a call center.

When you work with Cake, you work with us directly.

We manage properties from downtown Johnson City to Kingsport to Bristol's State Street corridor. We know where guests want to stay, what they're willing to pay for it, and how to make sure they leave a good review and book again.
