This page lists 7 companies that manage Airbnb and other short-term rentals for owners in Oakdale. Among all the companies checked for Oakdale, no company names Oakdale on its own website, 3 more cover Minnesota without naming it, and 15 work across the United States. Furthermore, 4 of the companies here publish a management fee and 3 do not. Finally, One Fine BnB manages property in Oakdale too and charges a published percentage of rental revenue that is printed exactly in this page’s tables.
One Fine BnB manages short-term rentals for owners, so we compete with every company on this page. That is exactly why the claim beside each one is quoted from that company’s own website rather than written by us, and why a fee appears only where the company publishes it. Everything below was read in August 2026 and can change without notice.
The nearest town this guide also covers is North St Paul, MN, 4 km away, and the larger market nearby is Rochester, MN, 114 km away, where the same companies often work.

Property management fees in Oakdale
| Company | Published management fee | What the company adds to it |
|---|---|---|
| One Fine BnB | From 20% full management, 10% listing-only | A one-off $500 setup retainer. |
| Home Team Luxury Rentals | does not publish a fee | No owner rate published; the public site is a direct-booking storefront. |
| Awning | Starts at 10% of revenue | ‘Starts at’ is a floor, not a quote. A RedAwning brand rather than an independent operator. |

For a property owner in Oakdale, comparing the costs of an Airbnb management company requires looking beyond the headline figures. Out of the seven companies on this page, four publish a fee: Awning Starts at 10% of revenue, SWAP CoHosting 25% of Rental Revenue, TruStay 15% – 23%, and Checkmate Rentals 15% of the nightly rate only. Meanwhile, 3 publish none at all, and One Fine BnB charges a published percentage of rental revenue that is printed exactly in this page’s tables.
A percentage is only comparable when you know what sits inside it. For your short-term rental in Oakdale, services like linen, restocking, mid-stay cleans, maintenance call-outs, and photography are charged inside the fee by some companies and billed separately by others, meaning a lower percentage can actually be the more expensive arrangement.
A company that publishes nothing is not necessarily dearer, as it usually quotes per property, but it does mean the comparison cannot be made until you ask. Furthermore, one company publishes a retainer, and you must check whether these additional operational tasks are settled or excluded.
What Airbnb property management in Oakdale actually looks like
Choosing an Airbnb management company for your property in Oakdale, Minnesota requires understanding how different operational footprints affect daily guest turnover across a community of 28,080 residents. Since no companies on this page name Oakdale on their own websites, you must look closely at their geographic reach. Three of them cover Minnesota without naming Oakdale, which means a regional provider might still be situated an hour away when a guest needs urgent assistance or a cleaner fails to arrive. Meanwhile, 4 of them say they work anywhere in the United States, offering sophisticated digital marketing and dynamic pricing from afar, yet they ultimately rely on an unvetted local individual for the physical turnover of your short-term rental.
That operational distinction changes everything for your vacation rental management strategy on Sunday afternoons when a cleaning emergency occurs. A hyper-local presence ensures a cleaner actually arrives on a Sunday because their team knows the neighborhood geography intimately. By contrast, a remote national agency might handle your listings brilliantly through advanced software algorithms, but their reliance on subcontracted local labor can leave you vulnerable if that distant third party misses an afternoon turnover.
Evaluating One Fine BnB requires looking at their published percentage of rental revenue that is printed exactly in this page’s tables alongside their retainer. Because they balance transparent digital oversight with necessary on-the-ground support, weighing these tiers helps owners in Oakdale decide whether they prefer a statewide team or a nationwide operation.

Vacation rental management in Oakdale: full service, co-host or hybrid
- Full-service — Barclé Group, Home Team Luxury Rentals, TruStay, Vacasa
- Co-host — Checkmate Rentals, SWAP CoHosting
- Tech-enabled — Awning
For a property owner in Oakdale, choosing a full-service manager like Barclé Group, Home Team Luxury Rentals, TruStay, or Vacasa means you hand over the keys and the company runs everything from day to day. In this arrangement, the management company holds the guest communications and manages the online accounts, so travelers deal directly with their staff rather than you. If you decide to terminate the relationship, the company retains the reviews built up on their profiles, and you must start fresh with your own listing presence.
Opting for a tech-enabled approach in Oakdale with Awning changes your operational routine by utilizing modern software platforms to automate tasks while you retain certain responsibilities. The guest interacts with automated systems and support teams tied to the platform, and the digital account infrastructure is built around their technology rather than a traditional local agency. When this type of contract ends, the transition depends on how the software integrated with your assets, meaning you might keep your baseline data but lose specific workflow automation tools.
Selecting a co-host in Oakdale through Checkmate Rentals or SWAP CoHosting means you keep the Airbnb listing and account in your own name, staying the host of record. The guest deals with the co-host for daily needs, but the underlying account and all accumulated reviews remain legally and digitally yours. If you part ways with your co-host, you retain your account history and reviews completely, allowing one seamless transition to managing the property yourself or hiring One Fine BnB instead.

How many companies actually work in Oakdale, and how we counted
Everything below counts companies rather than listings, and it counts what the managers say about themselves on their own websites rather than what a directory says about them.
Property owners in Oakdale often type things like airbnb management near me into a search box, only to find dozens of businesses claiming local coverage. To sort through this noise, our independent evaluation began when 913 management companies‘ own home pages were read in August 2026. Directory listings and our own opinion were not used as evidence because what a firm says about itself on its website can be verified, whereas a simple directory entry cannot.
A company is listed for a town only if its OWN website says something that places it there, such as a page naming the town, a page naming the state, or a statement that it works across the United States. For Oakdale that gives no pages naming the town, 3 covering Minnesota, and 15 working nationally, leaving 18 companies in total with a claim on Oakdale. Out of those options, 7 of them are shown on this page to help an owner find the best partner.
When a property manager or an entire agency promises the world, you deserve proof rather than automated web pages. We examined whether every single company truly serves your area so you can trust the results. Whether you work with a local manager or a nationwide firm specializing in airbnb management, transparent data matters most.
Can a company manage your Oakdale property from another state?
The question is not hypothetical here. 4 of the towns nearest Oakdale are in another state altogether – Hudson, WI, 16 km away, River Falls, WI, 30 km away, New Richmond, WI, 37 km away, Menomonie, WI, 83 km away – and several of the companies above work in both.
As an owner of a short-term rental in Oakdale, you might wonder if a management company can successfully operate your investment from another state. Out of 850 verified American management companies, 43 state on their own websites that they can take on a property with no local office, and 17 say they work anywhere in the United States. Furthermore, 15 of those nationwide operations are available as options for Oakdale, meaning you have choices if you want to look beyond Minnesota for your property manager.
The underlying reality of hiring an out-of-state firm involves dividing duties between digital tasks and physical needs. Pricing, listing, guest messaging, review handling, and channel management are genuinely remote work and are often done better by a company with scale. However, cleaning, linen, restocking, key handover, inspections, and anything physically broken are not remote work, and a remote manager subcontracts them locally.
Therefore, the real question is never remote-versus-local. It is who the subcontractor is, whether the owner gets to know their name, and what happens on the day that subcontractor does not turn up. You must investigate these local vendor relationships carefully before handing over your keys, even if a large brand like One Fine BnB or another distant enterprise promises seamless oversight from afar.
How to choose a short-term rental management company in Oakdale
When evaluating any prospective short-term rental partner in Oakdale, start by asking who physically handles the turnover between guests, and specifically whether that person is directly employed or subcontracted out. It is always wise to tour the live listings the best agency already runs nearby, reading their recent guest reviews carefully. Ask who holds the main airbnb account and the accumulated review history, and clarify exactly what happens to that digital asset if you eventually decide to leave.
You should also ask what happens late at night when a guest is locked out or faces an urgent plumbing issue. A reliable property manager must have a clear protocol for after-hours emergencies so you are never disturbed while sleeping. Review the operational agreement to understand how much notice either side must give to terminate the contract without penalty. Every single manager you interview should be transparent about their internal staffing and support systems.
Compare the quoted fee against what is actually included in the service, because a lower percentage that excludes linen laundering and restocking supplies is not a lower price. You might find that a local company charges slightly more on paper, yet covers all essential consumables and operational overhead. Independent companies often structure their billing differently, so you must read every line of the financial breakdown before signing.
Finding the right partner near me requires diligence, and One Fine BnB understands how much trust you place in your chosen team. Ask tough questions about vendor relationships and cleaning quality to ensure your investment is protected. Multiple companies operate across this region, but only one manager will truly treat your home with the same care and attention that you would yourself.
