Epic Adventure Vacation Rentals is an Indianapolis-based vacation rental management company built by two people who own and host every property in their own portfolio. Five states. Mountains, Gulf Coast, ski slopes, bourbon country and city. Over 770 guest reviews and a 4.9 average rating behind us, with Superhost status verified for cleanliness and communication.
That matters because most short-term rental management companies have never hosted a guest. We have handled the 11pm message about the hot tub, the tournament family arriving three hours early, and the black bear on the deck. We run our own direct booking site alongside Airbnb and Vrbo, which is how we keep more revenue per stay rather than handing it all to the platforms. Hand us your property and you get hands-free hosting, a listing that actually converts, and owners who answer the phone.
Eight properties of our own across five states. Every process we would put on your home is one we already run on ours, and we feel the cost of getting it wrong before you do.
The line that appears most in our reviews is how fast we respond. Slow replies lose bookings and cost you nights. We answer, and we do it ourselves.
We run a direct booking site alongside the platforms, so a share of every stay skips the OTA commission. More revenue per booking, and a guest list that belongs to you rather than to an app.
A Smoky Mountain cabin, a Gulf Coast pool home and a ski condo inside a managed complex do not run the same way. Seasons, regulations and guest expectations all differ, and we have operated in each.
Verified for cleanliness and communication. That standard is what keeps a listing ranking and what stops a single bad turnover undoing a year of good reviews.
We are deliberately small. When you call, you get Bill or Heather, the same two people who will be answering your guests at 9pm on a Saturday.
You keep the asset and the decisions. We take the operating work, the guest messages and the 2am problems.
We write and build the listing, brief the photography, and keep the copy working across Airbnb, Vrbo and your own direct site. Vacation rental marketing that describes the actual home, not a template.
Rates reviewed against demand, local events, school holidays and your competitive set, rather than a number set in January and forgotten by June.
Enquiries, questions, mid-stay problems and post-stay reviews, handled by us. Guests are screened before they book, not apologized for afterwards.
We coordinate vetted local cleaners and trades in each market and hold them to a Superhost turnover standard. Airbnb property maintenance handled before a guest notices, not after they review it.
Guests reach a real person, and so do you. No ticket queue, no offshore call center, no waiting until Monday.
Clear monthly reporting on occupancy, rate and net return, so you can see what your property earned and what it cost to earn it.
Our portfolio runs on Hospitable as the property management system, syncing calendars, rates and messaging across Airbnb, Vrbo and our own direct booking site so there is one source of truth and no double bookings.
Alongside it sits our direct booking engine, which shows guests a live price comparison against Airbnb and Vrbo at the point of booking. That is the piece most owners are missing, and it is why a share of our nights arrive commission-free.
Software alone does not answer a guest at midnight or notice that a hot tub is running cloudy. The tools handle the repeatable part. We handle the rest.
We offer competitive, performance-based pricing. Our rates vary slightly by market and property type. Contact us for a custom proposal.
Yes. It stays your property and your calendar. We manage availability day to day, but owner blocks always take priority and you can close dates whenever you need them.
Of course. Block the dates you want and they come off the market. We will tell you honestly what a block in peak season costs you in revenue, then book it anyway if that is what you want. It is your house.
Short-term and vacation rentals, in the markets where we already operate: the Smokies around Gatlinburg and Sevierville, the Gulf Coast around Bradenton and Anna Maria Island, Indianapolis, Bardstown, and Beech Mountain.
Size is rarely the deciding factor. Our own portfolio runs from a studio that sleeps two to a four-bedroom pool home that sleeps twelve, and includes mountain cabins, city homes, a farmhouse and a condo inside a managed complex with its own HOA rules. We know how to work within restrictions like those rather than pretending they are not there.
What matters more is whether the property can deliver the standard our guests expect and whether the numbers work for both of us. Send us the address and we will tell you straight, including if the answer is no.
We handle all of it. Pre-booking questions, check-in instructions, mid-stay issues and review responses. Guests message us, not you.
Our own reviews consistently single out response speed, and that is not an accident. Fast answers convert enquiries into bookings and stop small problems turning into one-star reviews.
Most properties can be onboarded and listed within 7–14 days. Let’s connect and get you earning quickly.
Twenty minutes on the phone and we will tell you what we would change about your listing, your pricing and your turnover, whether or not you go on to work with us. If your property is not a fit for us, we will say so.
