Who it’s for
This service is best suited for owners in the Big Bear area, or those with properties in Joshua Tree, Florida, or North Carolina, who value a local, owner-operator feel. It appeals to those who prefer a smaller portfolio size, trusting a dedicated manager with a proven track record.
Our take
While Sky High Cabins is woman-owned and managed by a 5-year Superhost in Big Bear, their management fee structure is not published, only described as 'low'. They operate in a limited number of markets, suggesting a focus on specific regions rather than broad expansion. With approximately 20+ listings, their size allows for a more personalised service.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
On the published figures alone, Sky High Cabins shows Not published ("low fee") and One Fine BnB shows 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
Sky High Cabins presents a local, experienced option for owners in their specified markets. For an owner-first alternative, consider One Fine BnB.

Questions to put to Sky High Cabins
- “What does the published Not published ("low fee") 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.
