Frequently Asked Questions
Host Questions, Answered
Is listing really free?+
Yes. There is no listing fee, no commission, and no monthly cost. Our platform is funded entirely by local Lakeland businesses that advertise to your guests.
Do I need to leave Airbnb or VRBO?+
No. Stay in Lakeland is a discovery and guest-experience layer, not a booking engine replacement. Most of our hosts continue to accept bookings through Airbnb, VRBO, or their own website — we simply add an extra visibility channel.
How long until my property appears on the site?+
We review every listing personally within 1 business day. Once approved, your property typically appears on stayinlakeland.com within 24–48 hours.
What is the Lakeland Guest Guide?+
It's a hardcover coffee-table book we produce each year featuring every listed property, curated local recommendations, and advertising from Lakeland businesses. We deliver a copy to every property on our platform — free to you.

Never. You keep listing wherever you want. We are non-exclusive by design.
Can I remove my listing at any time?+
