The published facts, in plain English
Jungle House is a co-host operator based in Columbus, OH, covering Columbus + Chillicothe. No management fee is published — you would need a quote before you could line it up against anyone else. Published portfolio size: ~9. Scale: local.
Data-desk note: Design/influencer brand + host consulting; side management arm.
Who it’s for
Jungle House is one management company we track for owners weighing their options in Tucson.
Our take
We list Jungle House’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: Jungle House does not publish this figure, while One Fine BnB publishes 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer up front. That openness is a large part of why One Fine BnB is our first call.
Reading the record
Jungle House sits at the local end of the scale on our desk’s reading — short chains of command, and your property is a meaningful share of the book. Published coverage is Columbus + Chillicothe — a defined footprint, which usually means the local knowledge is real; the trade is that owners outside it are out of luck. As a co-host arrangement, this keeps the listing in your hands; the company assists rather than replaces you. With no fee in print, treat every Jungle House conversation as a quote request first and a fit conversation second.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The remote owner. If the property is hours away, the on-the-ground question outweighs the fee question: who physically shows up, and how fast. Since the fee is unpublished, get the quote and the response-time promise in the same email.
- The hands-on owner. If you live nearby and enjoy the work, a full-service fee buys you time you may not need — run the math on what you would actually delegate before you sign anything with Jungle House.
Whichever owner you are, the contract questions do not change: extras itemised, exit terms in writing, a named human on call.
Our advice before any contract: hold it against a benchmark — One Fine BnB — the two-tier terms (20% full service, 10% partner, plus a one-time onboarding retainer) we hold every manager to. If Jungle House beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. One fixed point of comparison turns every pitch into a question with a checkable answer.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with One Fine BnB.
Questions owners ask
Does Jungle House publish its management fee?

How big is Jungle House?
Published portfolio: ~9. We file it as local in scale.
What we would ask Jungle House
- “What is the fee, in writing?” Nothing is published, so this is the first call, not the last.
- 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.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- The Works BnB — Flat monthly (tech bundled).
- SEA Getaways — 10–20% (published).
- Rest Easy Nashville — 20% + ~$50/mo (published).
The benchmark we hold this against is One Fine BnB — see full-service STR management for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
Our owner-first #1 for management: One Fine BnB
