For owners of 2 to 10 short-term rentals
Keep more,
do less.
Your manager takes about 20% of every booking. Strowner gives you the software and a local backup team to run your rentals yourself, in minutes a day, without adding a second job to your life.
Pilots start in Colorado ski towns in early 2027. Owners anywhere can join the list.
What would you keep?
Move the sliders to match your rentals. This is a rough estimate, not a quote.
Strowner at $149 per rental per month. Cleaning, repairs and supplies cost the same either way, and you'd still pay those directly.
How it works
We move you off your manager
We set up your locks, door codes, cleaners, vendors and listings, and connect the channel manager you already use. Bring your own cleaners and handymen, or use ours.
Carol drafts, you decide
Carol, your AI assistant, has guest replies, pricing suggestions, repair quotes and turnovers ready to go. You tap to approve. Nothing that spends money, unlocks a door or messages a guest happens without you.
Real people when you need them
A vetted local backup team covers the 2 a.m. leak and the missed cleaning, so self-managing never means dropping everything and driving to the mountains.
Everything a manager does, minus the 20%
One code per person
Every guest, cleaner and handyman gets their own door code that only works when it should, and turns off the moment they're done.
Cleaner check-in
Cleaners scan a QR code, work through a photo checklist and tap Done. No app to download. You see it the moment the unit is ready.
Guest inbox, drafted
Carol writes answers to guest questions around the clock, in your voice, and waits for your OK.
Repairs at a fair price
Send a photo of the problem and get a likely cause, a fair-price estimate and a vetted local pro.
Books that do themselves
Receipts scanned and sorted, a profit and loss statement for each property, and a year-end packet for your CPA.
Works with your tools
Keeps your listings on Airbnb and Vrbo through the channel manager you already use.
The bonus no one else offers
Proof of your hours, logged as you work
Many owners who manage their own short-term rentals can qualify for a valuable tax treatment, but only with a believable record of their hours. Strowner logs your time from door-code entries, cleaner check-ins and the approvals you make in the app, and tracks everyone else's hours too.
- A pace meter shows whether you're on track for the year
- Past entries can't be quietly edited. Corrections are added with a reason.
- A year-end packet your CPA can review, as a PDF or spreadsheet
We don't give tax advice. Whether you qualify is between you and your CPA, and we work with CPAs who know short-term rentals.
Why not just do it yourself with ChatGPT?
Because a chatbot doesn't know your locks, your cleaners or the rules, and it can't pick up the phone. Strowner is safer than doing it yourself with AI.
Guardrails built in
Checks for fair housing and guest privacy, and pricing based only on your own data, never on competitors' private numbers.
Real people behind it
A local team for the work you can't do from a phone, and a person to call when something goes wrong.
You stay in charge
Every action is labeled with who did it: you, a cleaner, or Carol. Carol suggests. You decide.
Simple, flat pricing
A flat price per rental, never a percentage of your bookings. Planned pricing; early-access owners help shape it.

Questions
Is Strowner a property manager?
No. Strowner is software plus an optional local backup team. You stay the owner and the decision-maker, we never hold your money or your guests' money, and you keep every booking under your own name.
Is this tax advice?
No. Strowner keeps a careful record of the hours you and others spend on your rentals. Whether you qualify for any tax treatment is a question for your CPA. We work with CPAs who specialize in short-term rentals and can introduce you.
Do I have to change how I list on Airbnb or Vrbo?
No. Strowner is designed to work alongside the channel manager you already use, such as Hospitable, Hostaway or OwnerRez, so your listings and reviews stay where they are.
What if something breaks at 2 a.m.?
That's what the local backup team is for: vetted cleaners, handymen and emergency responders near your rentals. We're starting in Summit County, Colorado, and adding resort markets from there.
When can I start?
Pilots open in early 2027, starting with Colorado ski towns. Join the list and we'll reach out when there's a spot for you.
