Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. Listing, site placement, Guest Guide inclusion, and the guest concierge are all free. We're funded by local Lakeland businesses that advertise to your guests — never by a commission on your bookings.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No contracts. Because everything is free, there's nothing to cancel — stay listed for as long as you like.
Do I keep my existing Airbnb/VRBO account?
Absolutely. You keep full control of your Airbnb, VRBO, or other platform accounts. We feature your home and send guests to your preferred booking platform — we don't take over your listings.
What does the free listing include?
Your property featured on stayinlakeland.com with a direct link to your Airbnb, VRBO, or booking page, placement in the printed Lakeland Guest Guide (published twice a year) with a free copy delivered, inclusion in our newsletter and social promotion, and a free 24/7 voice concierge for your guests.
What platforms do you support?
We work with hosts on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and those who take direct bookings. Your property is featured on stayinlakeland.com with links to your preferred booking platform.
Do you offer property management services?
No. Stay in Lakeland is Lakeland's local guide — not a property manager. You keep full ownership and control of your listings and bookings.
