Short-Term Rental Management

Vacation Rental Management at Watts Bar Lake & Tellico Plains

Vacation rental management is extremely different from long term rental management. This is a business operation. Not just a rental.

If you want to be in the vacation rental business and actually be successful, everything should be done through a hospitality lens.

This strategy has two core goals: provide 5 star vacations and maximize recognized annual revenue.

Why a Small Manager Beats a Big Company

With a large national management company, your property becomes a unit number. Calls go to a call center. Your manager has likely never seen your home.

At Starr, you work directly with the people managing your property. We keep our portfolio intentionally small — so every owner gets real attention, fast responses, and a manager who actually knows your home, your guests, and your market.

Local Knowledge. Real Results.

We’re based in Athens, TN and we know this market — the lake seasons on Watts Bar, the outdoor draw of Tellico Plains, the vendors you can actually trust. That local edge shows up in better pricing decisions, faster maintenance, and guests who leave five-star reviews.

We serve property owners across McMinn, Monroe, Bradley, Meigs, Roane, Loudon, and Polk counties. If you own a vacation property in East Tennessee, we’d love to talk.
