Why Haus?
Why owners choose Haus Vacation Rentals: a founder-led approach to Airbnb management with published fees, daily pricing and a short list of homes.
Haus Vacation Rentals is a small, founder-led short-term rental management company. Justin Feldstein, a licensed New York State real estate broker, started it in 2022 and still reviews every home himself.
Who reviews your home
When you send us your home's details, Justin reviews them personally and replies within 3 business days. If your home is a fit, Justin will walk through the numbers with you on a call. If you want to see how that compares with a national platform or doing it yourself, we set it out on the comparison page.
How we price stays
We adjust rates daily within the price limits for each home. Justin reviews them weekly. Read more about how we price.
Day-to-day operations
We handle listing setup and optimization, guest messages, turnover cleanings, supplies and maintenance coordination, and licensing support where your town requires it. Guest support is handled in-house. Each home gets its own guidebook, and onboarding includes setup, inventory, staging and photography coordination. Repairs, supplies and optional furnishing projects are separate costs, billed at the invoice, and we review what the home needs before we start.
Owner statements and listing access
You receive a monthly statement showing revenue, fees, expenses and payouts. Your Airbnb listing stays yours, and you can check the booking calendar between statements.
Fees on the page
We publish what we charge: 25% of the rent the home collects after guest-paid taxes and platform fees, a $250 to $400 monthly property management fee by home size, and a one-time $1,500 onboarding fee. The fees page includes a worked example and explains when other charges apply.
Terms worth knowing before you apply
The agreement runs two years from the first booking and renews yearly. Either side may end it with 60 days' written notice. If an owner ends it, the management fee still applies to reservations already confirmed, and a $2,500 fee applies in the first 12 months. We ask that the home be available to rent at least 180 nights a year, and your own stays remain part of the plan. See the owner FAQ for more about the agreement.

Who we are a fit for
We work with whole homes, typically three bedrooms or more, in places with strong year-round demand, for owners who want full-service management. We manage homes in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, and we are now taking on homes in the Berkshires. If you are weighing several managers, our guide to Hudson Valley management companies and the owner overview are useful places to start.
