Who it’s for
This co-host is suitable for Indiana property owners seeking a service with a broad, albeit remote, reach across more than 15 US states. Their model appears geared towards owners comfortable with a co-host operating from Canada, managing listings in the US via landing pages.
Our take
MasterHost manages approximately 300 listings and charges a management fee between 10% and 18%, which is published and varies by city and tier. While their operational base is in Vancouver, BC, they focus on US markets. The company has a small team of around 6 employees, indicating a more boutique or regionally focused operation despite their multi-state presence.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Side by side on published terms: MasterHost lists 10–18% by city/tier (published), while One Fine BnB lists 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
MasterHost presents a co-hosting option with a published, tiered fee structure. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with MasterHost
- “What does the published 10–18% by city/tier (published) exclude?” Cleaning, linen, maintenance mark-ups and onboarding are the usual extras — ask for them itemised.
- Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
- Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.
