Our take
We list Alluvion Vacations’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
On the published figures alone, Alluvion Vacations shows 20–30% of net (published) and One Fine BnB shows 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Reading the record
In scale the desk files Alluvion Vacations as local — the kind of operation where you are likely dealing with the same few people, which some owners pay a premium for on purpose. The published footprint reads Hudson Valley / Catskills. Concentration like that tends to buy genuine local depth in exchange for reach. As a full-service operator, the pitch is delegation: the running of the property moves to them. Because Alluvion Vacations publishes 20–30% of net (published), you can at least anchor the conversation before the sales call.
Same company, two situations
- The distant owner. Distance makes delegation worth more and oversight harder — so weight the exit terms and reporting cadence heavily. The published 20–30% of net (published) gives you a baseline to compare against.
- The owner who likes the work. Nearby and involved? Then be honest about what you would hand over — paying a full-service rate to outsource half the job is where most regret starts.
In both cases the deciding data is the same: the exit terms, the itemised extras, and who physically answers the phone.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — Airbnb co-hosting — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If Alluvion Vacations beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with Alluvion Vacations
- “What does the published 20–30% of net (published) exclude?” Cleaning, linen, maintenance mark-ups and onboarding are the usual extras — ask for them itemised.
- Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
- Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.
Alternatives worth comparing
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Stay Awhile Cohosting — 20% of net + $150/mo laundry.
- Great Stays — does not publish a price.
- Portoro — does not publish a price.
The benchmark we hold this against is One Fine BnB — see One Fine BnB for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
