How to Set Vacation Rental Prices Without Guessing or Losing Bookings

"Are you charging too much, too little, or simply guessing?"

Pricing is one of the biggest sources of stress for vacation rental owners. Many hosts spend hours adjusting rates, watching competitors, and second-guessing every booking.

In this episode, Gerry MacPherson shares a simple pricing framework that helps vacation rental owners stop guessing and start making confident decisions.

You'll learn:

• How to calculate your minimum profitable rate

• Why most hosts overcomplicate pricing

• The simple three-rate framework

• How to avoid the discount trap

• How to improve occupancy without sacrificing profits

This episode is perfect for vacation rental owners, Airbnb hosts, short-term rental operators, and anyone looking to improve pricing confidence.

Gerry MacPherson knows hospitality ownership isn't always glamorous.

Years ago, he helped operate a small hotel in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he experienced first-hand the pressure, unpredictability, and daily chaos that many hospitality property owners still face today.

Since then, Gerry has spent decades working in hospitality and tourism, visiting properties across the world and learning what truly makes independent hospitality businesses succeed.

Today, through Vacation Rental Resolutions, he helps vacation rental owners create calmer operations, stronger guest experiences, improved profitability, and less stress through practical systems and honest hospitality conversations.
