The Value of VRA+

We earn you more

Our competitive edge lies in our use of professional software, supply/demand and economic insights, our dedication to you, and extensive experience in the Lake Tahoe market. These tools enable us to outperform competitors, continually optimizing pricing strategy based on analysis of the local and global vacation rental market.

Our team remains vigilant in reviewing prices, concentrating on both short and long-term booking windows to maximize returns.

We build great listings

Beginning with a home assessment we help optimize properties, to meet the needs of guests. We then build your listing, hi-lighting desired amenities, and coordinate professional photography.

Listings receive widespread exposure, distributed across various platforms, including our direct booking site, Airbnb, VRBO, and Expedia’s network.


We provide unparalleled experiences

Our in-house hospitality is a significant source of value, as guests seek memorable experiences without worrying about the essentials. A clean and functioning home is paramount, and with direct control of service quality, we ensure homes are well-maintained, clean, and fully stocked.

We’re here if guests need us, 24/7 and 365 days a year. If we make an error or there is an issue, we’ll be there to address it, fast. We love sharing great homes, answering questions, and setting guests up for the best time.

We have fair and simple pricing

We believe pricing should be simple and fair, starting with a free quote and an initial home consultation. Our commission includes listing, guest and revenue management, field support, a professional admin team, 24/7 support 365 days per year, professionally laundered textiles, guest starter supplies, owner portals, our local expertise, hot tub treatments, and more.

Guests pay service fees. Hourly cleaning such as setup and periodic deep cleans are billed separately. We stock additional inventory and property items at cost.

Meet the owner, Caleb

Caleb, founder of Vacation Rental Assistance (VRA), started his journey with vacation rentals while attending Lake Tahoe Community College in 2008. His neighborly act of helping with a rental exposed a need for a local partner in the rent-by-owner market. Caleb became a reliable local contact, expanding his service offering into a comprehensive vacation rental turn around operation. VRA grew to manage over 200 homes in the Lake Tahoe area, evolving into a full service property management company.


Caleb’s natural inclination to lead has always fueled his relentless pursuit of excellence. His entrepreneurial spirit flamed at the age of 15 when he founded his first business. As rumor has it, Caleb’s commitment to client satisfaction was so strong he considered payment collection his least favorite, as he pressed to ensure his clients received the full value they deserved.


Beyond work, Caleb embraces outdoor activities and contributes to the Lake Tahoe community, which are values engrained in VRA’s culture. He established a local non-profit, promoting sports and social opportunities in Tahoe. Caleb’s commitment, passion, people-centric approach, and tireless drive to be the best has transformed VRA into a respected enterprise, leaving a lasting impact on Lake Tahoe property management.

From the moment we switched Vacation Rental Assistance (VRA), our Vacation Home has performed better than I could have ever expected. I’m a super analytical person, and am constantly impressed by the booking rate they’ve achieved while maintaining exceptional service and feedback with guests. They understand and make valuable recommendations for enhancing the appeal of our listing, from professional photography to thoughtful amenities that have delighted our guests. Thanks to that, along with their comprehensive understanding of the Tahoe market and Vacation Rental pricing strategies, our property has consistently attracted significantly more bookings than anything else I’ve seen or heard of. But even beyond the numbers – VRA has excelled in guest satisfaction. Their team’s prompt and friendly communication with guests and neighbors has made a huge difference, resulting in numerous glowing reviews that highlight the exceptional service they provide. They are remarkable at staying in close constant communication, and it really shows from both the reviews and critical neighbor relations. We are incredibly grateful for VRA dedication to our property and guests. We wholeheartedly recommend VRA to any property owner looking for a partner that will elevate their Vacation Rental listing to new heights. – Scott and Kim

Before discovering Vacation Rental Assistance we were struggling with juggling all the different aspects of managing a short term rental in Lake Tahoe. After partnering with VRA the process became so efficient and streamlined. I believe the value with Vacation Rental Assistance is they are a local team and have W2 employees for all aspects of managing a rental. They are incredibly responsive and have great communication which is the most important aspects with a rental business. When the occasional hiccup occurs VRA communicates it well and have great suggestions on how to move forward. My overall experience with VRA has been great and I have since recommended 3 friends to VRA and all 3 have also partnered with them.
