iTrip is a franchise operator based in Brentwood, TN, covering 100+ destinations (US/Canada). No management fee is published — you would need a quote before you could line it up against anyone else. Published portfolio size: Thousands (network). Scale: giant.
Data-desk note: 80+ franchisees, no single service standard; opaque owner fees.
Who it’s for
iTrip is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in Maine.
Our take
We list iTrip’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: iTrip does not publish this figure, while One Fine BnB publishes 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer up front. That openness is a large part of why One Fine BnB is our first call.
What the record says about fit
Scale is the first thing the record signals: we file iTrip as giant, and size cuts both ways — deeper coverage and systems on one side, less room for one owner’s exceptions on the other. The published footprint reads 100+ destinations (US/Canada). Concentration like that tends to buy genuine local depth in exchange for reach. As a franchise operator, the pitch is delegation: the running of the property moves to them. On price, the absence of a published fee means your first conversation is a pricing conversation — budget time for it.
Same company, two situations
- The remote owner. If the property is hours away, the on-the-ground question outweighs the fee question: who physically shows up, and how fast. Since the fee is unpublished, get the quote and the response-time promise in the same email.
- The hands-on owner. If you live nearby and enjoy the work, a full-service fee buys you time you may not need — run the math on what you would actually delegate before you sign anything with iTrip.
Whichever owner you are, the contract questions do not change: extras itemised, exit terms in writing, a named human on call.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — see the numbers — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If iTrip beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with iTrip
- “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
- 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:
- Haustay — does not publish a price.
- Prickett Properties — does not publish a price.
- Stay Awhile Cohosting — 20% of net + $150/mo laundry.
The benchmark we hold this against is One Fine BnB — see One Fine BnB's management for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
