Guest ranches

Guest ranch booking and marketing. Built for ranches and resorts.

A single condo and a 15-cabin ranch are not the same business. Multi-unit properties need coordination, staffing and systems that most property managers were never built to handle. Roostio runs the booking and marketing side, and your own team handles the physical work.

What guests come for

Guests book the experience, not just the cabin

A guest ranch stay is often built around more than a bed: horseback riding, open space, family reunions, weddings and retreats. The booking side has to sell and coordinate all of it.

Ranches also run on a calendar of their own, with ramp-up periods, peak weeks, group blocks and full-property buyouts.

What a ranch or resort needs

Staffing coordination

A shared coordination tool for your cleaning and maintenance team across every unit. You handle the physical work; we handle the visibility and scheduling.

Seasonal and group bookings

Ramp-up periods, buyouts and group reservations handled without the manual juggling.

On-site amenity management

Activities, retail add-ons and shared spaces managed as part of the guest experience, not an afterthought.

Experiences and add-ons

Horseback riding, ropes courses, weddings, business retreats and other add-ons, bookable alongside any stay.

Multi-property visibility

One dashboard view across every unit and every channel, not a spreadsheet stitched together by hand.

Pricing and channels

Every cabin, one calendar

Each unit is listed and synced in real time across Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google and a direct booking site, so a group block or a buyout stays in step with single-cabin bookings.

Dynamic pricing adjusts nightly rates with demand, seasonality and local events. Weddings, business retreats and multi-unit buyouts are handled as part of our booking process.

Every system we use was built running real properties day to day, including a working ranch.

Pricing

How pricing works

No rate sheet, because no two properties are the same. Here is how it works before we ever talk numbers.

What it costs

  • A percentage of booking revenue. We only earn when you do.
  • Zero setup fees.
  • Quoted per property during your free assessment, usually as an annual agreement.
  • Channel fees handled for you, and tax remittance where applicable. Your statement shows net rental funds, our commission and your payout.

What stays yours

  • Your cleaning and maintenance team. We coordinate through you, or directly with them. Choose direct, and it feels like full-service management with the people you already trust.
  • Your original Airbnb and VRBO accounts, with every review on them.
  • Full visibility: an audited owner statement every month, and occupancy in your portal 24/7.

We list your property on our own accounts, across more channels than most owners run alone. The honest trade-off: reviews start fresh on our channels, while your original accounts stay 100% yours.

FAQ

Questions from ranch and resort owners

How do you handle staffing for a ranch or resort?

Cleaning and maintenance staff are provided by the property owner. We do not staff or manage physical upkeep directly. We provide the marketing, technology and guest-facing layer: multi-channel distribution, guest communication, and a coordination portal your on-site team can use to stay organized.

Can you manage weddings, retreats or group buyouts?

Yes. We handle group and event inquiries as part of our booking process, coordinating availability and communication for weddings, business retreats and multi-unit buyouts.

Where do you work with ranches?

We work with property owners across the US, Canada and Mexico. Roostio is headquartered in Moab, Utah.

Do I need permits for short-term rentals or events?

Rules for short-term rentals and events differ by city and county. We walk through permits and lodging taxes with each owner during the free assessment, before anything goes live.
