We love Airbnb and VRBO as much as the next host—they’ve helped so many travelers discover incredible homes across the country (including ours!). But here’s the thing they don’t tell you: when you book through a third-party platform, you’re paying more than you need to… and getting less than you deserve.

Here’s why booking direct with Beckon Homes is the move:

1. No Extra Fees. Like, Seriously.
When you book through Airbnb or VRBO, those “service fees” add up fast. We’re talking hundreds of dollars—poof—gone, and not a penny goes toward your actual stay. When you book direct with us, you skip the extra fees and keep more cash in your pocket (or your cocktail budget—no judgment here).

2. Real People, Real Help
Booking with us means you’re talking to actual humans who know your home inside and out. No bots, no vague customer service lines. Just the Beckon team—experienced, thoughtful, and here to help with everything from early check-ins to the best hidden brunch spots nearby.

3. Better Deals, Special Perks
We save our best rates, offers, and seasonal deals for our direct bookers. Want to know when we run specials? Follow our Instagram. Book direct, and you might score things like complimentary late checkouts, special add-ons, or priority dates before they hit the big platforms.

4. The Stay You Actually Want
Third-party platforms can be great—but they don’t always show the full picture. When you book direct, you get the most up-to-date availability, full property details, and the ability to actually talk to someone about what the home includes (yes, that fire pit really works, and yes, we know the WiFi password).

5. Support Small. Stay Local.
We’re a woman-led, heart-forward company that manages homes like they’re our own. When you book direct, your dollars go straight to the folks maintaining the properties, helping homeowners support their families, and making sure everything from the throw pillows to the towel hooks are just right.

TL;DR?
Book direct. Save money. Get more. Support good people.
Sounds like a no-brainer, doesn’t it?

In the fast-paced world of short-term rentals, standing out is crucial. So much can influence a guest's decision to book your property, but your marketing strategy is one of the most important. We're one of the top Airbnb managers in Tennessee and here are three simple yet highly effective tactics that we know will help you boost your bookings and maximize your rental income.
​
Professional Photography
First impressions matter, and when it comes to short-term rentals, photos are everything. High-quality, professional photos can make a significant difference in attracting guests to your property. Hire a professional photographer who specializes in real estate photography and make sure you express to them your favorite features of the home. They will know how to showcase your property in the best possible light and highlight its unique features. 

Captivating Listing Descriptions
Once you've grabbed a potential guest's attention with stunning photos, captivate them with an accurate and enticing description of your space. Your listing description should be informative, engaging, and highlight the unique selling points and amenities of your property. Remember to keep your description concise, and easy to read, as guests are more likely to skim through long paragraphs. Resources like ChatGPT can be an excellent help, especially by adding the phrase "Optimize for SEO," but make sure you edit the output so you don't sound too much like a robot! 

Guest Reviews and Testimonials
Positive guest reviews can significantly impact your booking rates, so it's important to encourage satisfied guests to leave feedback. Be proactive in requesting reviews from your guests, and when you do receive a review (positive or negative!) be sure to respond promptly and express your gratitude. Your public interactions with your guests really tell prospective guests a lot about you, so be mindful of your responses.  

Incorporating these three simple marketing tactics into your strategy can help you attract more guests and boost your bookings. Does marketing strategy and management make your head spin? Would you prefer to find an Airbnb manager to trust your business with? We're the guy. Let's get started here. 

Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or taking on this challenge for the first time, here are some tips to make your race day experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible:

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Nashville can get warm in April. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water leading up to the race and during the event.
2. Fuel Up Properly: Stick to foods you know your body can handle the night before and morning of the race. Opt for carbohydrates and lean proteins to give you that energy boost.
3. Know the Route: Familiarize yourself with the course map and elevation changes. Nashville has some rolling hills, so pacing yourself is key.
4. Don't Forget the SPF: Whether you're pounding the pavement in the Nashville Marathon or soaking up the city's sights, protecting your skin from the sun's rays is essential.
5. Enjoy the Music: One of the best parts of the Nashville Marathon is the live music along the course! Let the tunes lift your spirits and carry you through those miles.

Remember, this is your race, and it's all about enjoying the journey! Best of luck to each and every one of you. See you at the finish line!

If this is the first time you're hearing of the Nashville Marathon, we're glad to help you too! 

1. Plan Your Route Ahead of Time: Many roads downtown will be closed or have limited access on race day. Check the marathon website for road closure information and plan alternative routes if needed.
2. Support the Runners: Marathon vibes are always electric and Nashville is particularly fun! If you're not running, why not join the cheering squad? Grab a spot along the route, and help cheer on the participants. 
3. Explore Local Businesses: With so many people in town for the marathon, it's a great opportunity to support local businesses. From coffee shops to boutiques, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
4. Be Patient and Kind: With increased traffic and road closures, patience is key. Remember, everyone is here to enjoy the event, so let's make it a positive experience for all.
5. Sleep In : Don't want to bother with any of it? Sleep in! Marathons are early anyway and you were probably out late! 

Whether you're running or cheering from the sidelines, let's come together as a community to celebrate this incredible event and all the joy it brings to our beloved Music City.

Check-In and Welcome
First things first, check into your cozy Beckon home in the heart of Germantown.

Taco Time at Taco Mamacita's
After settling in, take a short walk down the block to Taco Mamacita's. Indulge in delicious tacos and sangria to kick off your Nashville adventure on a tasty note.
Girls' Night In at The Shelby
Back at your Beckon home, The Shelby awaits. This space has been lovingly designed by our team for connection, making it the perfect place to reconnect with friends. And guess what? You've booked in-home massages from our friend Megan at Native Massage through our custom app – because you deserve to be pampered! Rest and recharge after a long travel day and catch up with your girlfriends over a glass of wine. 

Brunch at Butchertown Hall
In the morning, get some fresh air and walk 5 minutes to Butchertown Hall for brunch before you all head out of town after a successful, rejuvenating trip to Nashville.

1. Bold Colors and Patterns: Maximalism is all about embracing bold colors and mixing diverse patterns. Don't be afraid to experiment with contrasting hues like deep blues, rich reds, and vibrant yellows. Mix and match patterns, combining florals with stripes, polka dots with chevrons, to create an eclectic visual feast. Remember, maximalism isn't about matching; it's about harmonizing diverse elements to create an exciting atmosphere.
2. Furniture and Decor: When it comes to furniture, think opulence and extravagance. Ornate headboards, plush velvet sofas, and intricately designed coffee tables can all find a place in your maximalist Airbnb. Incorporate vintage and antique pieces to add character and charm. Don't forget about decor items – think oversized mirrors, elaborate chandeliers, and quirky sculptures that catch the eye and spark conversation.
3.  Texture Galore: Texture plays a significant role in maximalist design. Introduce a variety of textures such as velvet, silk, faux fur, and metallic accents. A plush rug, velvet throw pillows, or a faux fur blanket can add depth and warmth to your space. Textured wallpaper or an accent wall with intricate designs can also enhance the overall maximalist vibe.
4.  Personal Touches: One of the best things about maximalism is that it allows you to showcase your personality and interests. Decorate your Airbnb with unique souvenirs, vintage finds, or handmade crafts. Display your favorite artwork and family photos. These personal touches not only make your space feel cozy but also provide a glimpse into your world, creating a connection with your guests.
5.  Embracing Excess: Maximalism isn't about holding back – it's about embracing excess in a tasteful manner. Don't be afraid to fill your space with decorative elements, from plants and vases to books and candles. Layering is key in maximalist design; pile on the cushions, stack the books, and layer the rugs to create a visually stimulating environment.
6.  Balance and Cohesion: While maximalism celebrates abundance, it's essential to strike a balance and maintain cohesion in your design. Anchor your vibrant palette and diverse patterns with neutral backgrounds. A white or beige backdrop can help prevent the space from feeling overwhelming while allowing your bold furnishings and accessories to shine.

The primary bedroom boasts a comfortable king bed, plenty of natural light, and a floating vanity for wheelchair accessibility. An ensuite bathroom offers a spacious curbless shower with a shower seat, handheld shower head, and grab bars. The toilet even features both a grab bar and a bidet, following ADA guidelines to ensure easy movement throughout.

On the second floor, you'll find three more bedrooms, each with its unique charm. Whether you prefer a queen room with sunny windows, a room with a queen bed and twin daybed (convertible to a king), or a cozy space with two twin beds, there's a perfect spot for everyone. Large closets and a bright second-floor bathroom with ample counter space complete the upstairs accommodations.
