Elevate BNB

Why Elevate BNB Outperforms the Big Property Managers in Colorado

When owners shop for a property manager, the conversation usually starts with fees. It should probably start with results.

We pulled our numbers from AirDNA's Property Manager Comparison — the same data guests and investors use to evaluate who's actually doing the job. Here's what it shows.

The Numbers, Side by Side

Across our current portfolio of 63 active properties in Colorado, Elevate BNB is running a 63% occupancy rate and an average daily rate of $326, with a 4.84 average guest rating across 5,079 reviews.

Compare that to the names you've probably heard of:

  • Vacasa — 45% occupancy, 4.58 rating (46 properties in market)
  • Evolve — 56% occupancy, 4.77 rating (1,368 properties)
  • First Chair Destinations — 38% occupancy, 4.58 rating
  • SkyRun Vacation Rentals — 51% occupancy, 4.80 rating
  • RedAwning — 44% occupancy, 4.59 rating

Elevate BNB leads the field on both occupancy and guest satisfaction. That's not a marketing claim — it's what the data shows.

What's Behind the Occupancy Gap

A 63% occupancy rate versus 38–56% for the competition means your property is booked roughly one to three more weeks per month. At an ADR of $326, that gap adds up fast. The difference comes down to hands-on pricing adjustments, local knowledge of Colorado's seasonal demand swings, and listings that are honest and well-photographed so guests book with confidence and come back.

What the Rating Tells You

A 4.84 average across 5,079 reviews isn't a fluke. It reflects consistent cleaning standards, properties that match their listings, and a team that responds when something goes wrong. Guests notice. So do the algorithms — higher ratings mean better placement on Airbnb and VRBO, which feeds directly into occupancy.

93 Properties Across 9 Markets

We manage 93 properties across 9 Colorado markets and 25 submarkets — from Rocky Mountain National Park cabins to Denver lofts to mountain retreats in Breckenridge and Jefferson. That scale gives us pricing intelligence and booking data that a single-market manager simply doesn't have.
