Best Airbnb Management Companies in Bend (2026)

The short answer

Bend Airbnb Management in Brief

Company-run Bend homes out-earn similar owner-run ones by 22%. Of the 10 companies with 10 or more year-round homes to compare, 2 out-earn similar homes by enough to cover a 20% fee.

In the 12 months to September 2026, Bend's largest Airbnb and vacation rental management company was Meredith Lodging, with 77 of the city's 1,840 active Airbnb listings; Arrived Vacation Rentals was next with 69. In all, 15 companies ran five or more Bend listings, and management companies and other business accounts ran 35% of the city's listings.

"Similar owner-run homes" are homes whose owner runs only that one Bend listing, with no co-host, the same bedrooms and room type, listed all year and open on 240+ nights, booked on 60+ of them, with 5+ reviews. Revenue is what each home earned on Airbnb, estimated from booked nights and rates; stays sold on other sites or direct aren't counted.

Revenue, occupancy and nightly rates across the whole market are in the Bend Airbnb market report .

The ranking

Bend Airbnb Management Companies, Ranked

Companies are ranked by the active Bend listings they run, as host or as co-host on an owner's account. "Lead vs similar" shows how much more a company's homes earned than owner-run Bend homes with the same number of bedrooms and room type, where they earned more, so a company of big houses isn't flattered by their size.

Of the ten largest, 6 grew over the past year.

The Best Airbnb Management Companies in Bend, by Home Size

A company that runs studios well may not suit a four-bedroom house. For each size, these are the Bend companies whose homes of that size out-earn owner-run homes of the same size by enough to cover a 20% fee (25% or more), on at least five year-round homes of that size, rated 4.7 or higher over 100 or more reviews. Leads of 150% or more are left out: that's more than management usually explains.

Each figure is revenue against owner-run homes with the same bedrooms and room type, on the company's year-round homes of that size only. "Small sample" marks a figure on five to nine homes: a lead to follow up, not a result. It says what the company's homes earned, not what yours will.

Fees

What an Airbnb Manager Costs in Bend

Few management companies publish their fees. Of the 81 companies AirROI checked in 6 US cities in September 2026, 9 publish a rate, from 10% to 30% of booking revenue with a median starting rate of 15%, and 49 quote only on request. Expect to ask each Bend company you shortlist for a quote.

Get the rate in writing along with what it's charged on: some companies take their share of the nightly rate only, others of everything the guest pays, cleaning fee included. With the company-run median Bend cleaning fee of $269, a 20% rate that also applies to cleaning takes another $54 from every stay. Ask too what's billed on top (linen, repairs, a setup fee) and how much notice ends the contract.

At the median starting rate, rounded to 15%, a manager has to lift revenue by 18% to leave an owner where they started, and 52% of company-run Bend homes earned at least that much more than the owner-run median for their size, against 37% of owner-run homes with no manager at all.

The numbers

Is an Airbnb Manager Worth It in Bend?

At the median, company-run Bend listings earned 46% more than owner-run ones over the 12 months to September 2026. Much of that is the homes: companies run bigger places. Matched by bedroom count and room type, company-run listings earned 22% more than owner-run ones, with nightly rates 29% higher.

A company charging a share of revenue pays for itself on revenue alone when it lifts income by more than the share: a 20% fee needs a 25% lift, and 2 of the 10 Bend companies with enough homes to compare clear it. The table shows how many company-run homes clear each bar:

Company-run homes that earn enough to cover each fee

  • Company-run
  • Owner-run
  • 15% fee needs +18% 52%
  • 20% fee needs +25% 47%
  • 25% fee needs +33% 42%
  • 30% fee needs +43% 36%
  • 35% fee needs +54% 31%

A home "earns it" when its revenue over the 12 months to September 2026 beat the owner-run median for homes of the same room type and bedroom count by at least the lift shown. Homes listed all year only.

How we compared

Read the 20% row. 47% of company-run Bend homes earned at least 25% more than the owner-run median for their size, enough to pay that fee and still leave the owner ahead. 32% of owner-run homes cleared the same mark with no manager at all, so a company-run home is 15 percentage points more likely to clear the bar, beyond the ±10 points that chance alone could produce on these numbers. Ask any manager to show you homes of its own that clear it.

Results vary by company, and the ranking shows the companies whose homes lead similar ones. Managers also choose the homes they take on, so part of any lead reflects the homes, and the comparison matches homes by room type and bedrooms only, not by street or finish. It counts Airbnb bookings only.

Profiles

The Largest and Best-Performing Companies, Profiled

The six largest companies; the one beyond them whose homes most out-earn similar ones (by the 25% or more a 20% fee needs, across 15 or more year-round homes, rated 4.7 or higher over 100 or more reviews); and the next three largest with enough homes to compare: what each runs, where, and how its homes compare with similar owner-run Bend homes. Each card's revenue, per-night and nights figures are medians across its homes, so the last two don't multiply to the first.

Benchmarks

What Bend Airbnbs Earn: Benchmarks to Test a Manager's Pitch

A manager's projection is only as good as the homes it is compared with. These are the typical results for Bend entire homes listed for all 12 months, by bedroom count, over the 12 months to September 2026.

What Bend entire homes earned a year, by bedroom count

What Bend Airbnbs Earn: Benchmarks to Test a Manager's Pitch
HomeMedianTop quarter overTo net the median after 20%
1 bedroom 407 homes$24,400$37,100$30,500

5+ bedrooms 124 homes$93,000$139,000$116,250

Booking revenue of entire homes listed all 12 months. A quarter of homes earned less than the bottom-quarter figure and a quarter more than the top-quarter one. The last column is what a home has to earn for a 20% fee to leave its owner the median.

A projection above the top-quarter line for your size of home ($68,200 for a two-bedroom) should come with the comparable homes the company already runs. The fee changes the sum: on a two-bedroom earning the median $41,000, a 20% fee comes to $8,200 a year and leaves its owner $32,800, so to leave you with the median a manager has to bring in $51,250.

Before comparing managers' fees, see what the home itself could earn: the Airbnb revenue calculator gives a revenue range for one Bend address from comparable listings.

Market structure

Who Runs Bend's Airbnb Market

Hosts with a single listing run 34% of Bend's Airbnbs. Accounts with 20 or more listings, companies, individuals and hotels alike, run 33%. These bands count Airbnb accounts, not brands, so a company with several accounts can sit in more than one. The share Airbnb flags as professionally managed rose from 25% to 31% over the year.

Accounts with 20 or more listings run 33% of Bend's Airbnbs

  • 2–4 listings 19% · 140 operators
  • 5–19 listings 15% · 34 operators
  • 20–99 listings 33% · 13 operators

26% of Bend's listings name at least one co-host. Many management companies work that way: the listing, its reviews and its payouts stay on the owner's account, and the company runs it as co-host. The profiles above show how much of each company's portfolio runs on owners' accounts. Airbnb's own "professional host" flag covers 31% of listings; it marks hosts who run several homes, companies or not, so it isn't the same measure as the company share.

Rules

Rules a Bend Manager Has to Follow

The rules follow the property, whoever runs it. Bend hosts need Oregon's state license plus the local rules: bend requires a land use permit for nearly every short-term rental and an annual operating license for all of them.

The Oregon short-term rental regulations page covers the permit, fees, operating limits and taxes, each linked to its official source. A manager that takes on your home should handle the permit and tax filings, and the contract should say who does what.

FAQ

Bend Airbnb Management: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the largest Airbnb management company in Bend?

Meredith Lodging runs 77 active Bend Airbnb listings, more than any other company in AirROI's data for the 12 months to September 2026, ahead of Arrived Vacation Rentals (69) and Vacation Rental Collective (68).

How many Airbnb management companies operate in Bend?

In the 12 months to September 2026, 13 management companies ran 10 or more active Bend listings, and 15 ran 5 or more. Many smaller managers work as co-hosts on owners' accounts; they are counted on every listing they co-host.

What share of Bend Airbnbs are professionally managed?

Management companies and other business accounts run 35% of Bend's 1,840 active listings. Airbnb's own "professional host" flag, which also covers individuals who run several homes, is on 31%, against 25% a year earlier. 26% list at least one co-host.

Do professionally managed Airbnbs earn more in Bend?

Yes, on average. In the 12 months to September 2026, Bend homes run by companies with 10 or more listings earned 22% more than owner-run homes with the same number of bedrooms and room type (269 company-run and 157 owner-run year-round homes), according to AirROI. Company by company, 7 of the 10 with 10 or more year-round homes to compare out-earned similar homes, and 2 by the 25% or more that a 20% fee needs. Company-run homes also charge 29% more a night than owner-run homes of the same size. Managers also choose which homes they take on, so part of any gap reflects the homes themselves.

Is it worth hiring an Airbnb manager in Bend?

Often: the typical company-run Bend home earned 22% more than a similar owner-run one in the 12 months to September 2026, enough to cover a fee of up to about 18%. 2 of the 10 Bend companies with 10 or more year-round homes out-earn similar owner-run homes by the 25% or more a 20% fee needs, led by A Stone's Throw Bungalow (+119%) and Bluebird Day Vacation Rentals (+58%). 47% of company-run Bend homes earned 25% or more above the owner-run median for their size, enough to cover a 20% fee, against 32% of owner-run homes with no manager. A manager also buys back the time hosting takes: guest messages, cleaning, pricing and upkeep.

How much do Airbnb management companies charge in Bend?

Few management companies publish their fees. Of the 81 companies AirROI checked in 6 US cities in September 2026, 9 publish a rate, from 10% to 30% of booking revenue with a median starting rate of 15%, and 49 quote only on request. So ask each Bend company for its rate in writing, and whether it's a share of nightly revenue only or of cleaning fees too. What a fee has to earn is fixed: a 20% fee needs a 25% lift in revenue to leave you where you started, and a 30% fee needs 43%. In Bend, the typical company-run home's lead over similar owner-run ones would cover a fee of up to about 18%.

What are the best Airbnb management companies in Bend?

On AirROI's data for the 12 months to September 2026, the Bend companies whose homes most out-earn similar owner-run homes are A Stone's Throw Bungalow (+119% across 30 homes, rated 4.92) and Bluebird Day Vacation Rentals (+58% across 46 homes, rated 4.90). That counts companies with 15 or more year-round homes, an average guest rating of 4.7 or higher over 100 or more reviews, and a lead of at least 25%, enough to cover a 20% fee. No single measure makes a company best for your home: check that it runs homes like yours, in your area, before you sign.

How much does a 2-bedroom Airbnb make in Bend?

What is an Airbnb co-host, and how common are they in Bend?

A co-host helps run a listing that stays on the owner's Airbnb account, from messaging guests to pricing and cleaning, so the listing, its reviews and its payouts stay with the owner if the manager changes. A listing on a company's own account belongs to the company, and its reviews usually don't move with the home. 26% of Bend's active listings name at least one co-host, and several of the companies above run most of their homes that way.

Do I need a permit if a company manages my Bend Airbnb?

Yes: the rules apply to the property whoever runs it. Bend requires a land use permit for nearly every short-term rental and an annual operating license for all of them. The Oregon short-term rental regulations page has the permit steps, fees and taxes.

How are these Bend management companies ranked?

Method

How This Ranking Works

The ranking counts active Airbnb listings in Bend over the 12 months to September 2026, on the same definition as AirROI's Bend market report, so the totals match. A listing counts toward its host account and toward every co-host named on it, because many companies run homes on the owner's own account. A company that runs several Airbnb accounts under one brand appears once, with the accounts combined.

The full method: classification, comparisons and fees

Accounts are classified from their names, and the Bend accounts with the most listings were checked by hand. Only property-management businesses are ranked, under the name they trade as; individual hosts who don't trade as a business count in every market figure but are never named, and neither are accounts with a generic name, such as "Property" or "Concierge", that can't be tied to a company. Hotels and serviced-apartment operators that list their own rooms are left out, and so are companies that mostly take stays of a month or more, because they compete with rentals rather than holiday lets.

"Lead vs similar" compares each of a company's homes with the median owner-run Bend home of the same bedroom count and room type, and reports the median of those comparisons. The figure is shown where a company's homes earn more than similar ones. A lower figure isn't shown: on Airbnb data alone it mostly reflects listings that are new or re-listed and still building reviews, or homes that differ in ways a bedroom count misses, rather than the management. Only homes listed for the whole 12 months and open to bookings on at least 240 nights, booked on 60 or more, with 5 or more reviews count, on both sides, so a company that added homes mid-year isn't marked down for their short first year, a listing that sits idle or is too new to have reviews doesn't stand for its company, and an owner who rents out their own home a few weekends a year doesn't set the benchmark. Companies with fewer than five such homes show a dash, and those with fewer than ten show "few": too few to compare fairly, so their figures are never quoted. The ranking by revenue needs at least 15. The shortlist by home size needs five homes of a size and marks a figure on fewer than ten as a small sample. The ± bands treat homes as independent; homes run by one company resemble each other, so the true uncertainty is somewhat wider. The profiles split revenue into revenue per booked night and nights booked, on the same homes, each against the owner-run median for that measure. A home's revenue is the one times the other, but the three medians don't multiply: among owner-run homes, the ones that charge more tend to book fewer nights, so the median rate times the median nights isn't the median revenue. A company's rating averages its listings' overall Airbnb ratings, weighted by their reviews. Revenue is gross Airbnb booking revenue, estimated from booked nights and rates, before any management fee. Stays a company or owner sells on other sites or direct aren't counted, so a company that sells much of its calendar elsewhere can look weaker here than it is; that applies to owner-run homes too. A home counts toward the company named on it now, so a home that changed manager during the year brings months run by its previous one.

The fee figures pool the rates management companies publish on their own websites, checked by hand in September 2026 in the 6 US cities AirROI researched. No company's rate is shown on its own: most quote each home on request, so the page gives the spread of the published rates instead.

Growth counts the listings a company hosts on its own Airbnb accounts now against 12 months earlier. Companies that mostly co-host on owners' accounts show no growth figure, because Airbnb's co-host records from a year ago are incomplete, and accounts with no listings a year ago are marked new rather than ranked for growth.

The page is rebuilt each quarter from the latest listing data. A company that thinks its figures are wrong can write to AirROI, and corrections are checked against the listing data.
