About
Whose houses these are, and how a booking works
I’m Joe. The eight houses on this site belong to me, held in a company called Beyond BnB Ventures: five in Texas, two in Tennessee, one in Pennsylvania. A small team keeps them clean and running. Nobody stands in the middle taking a cut when you book on this page, which is the whole reason the page exists.
Why we would rather you came straight to us
Our houses are on the big booking sites too, and plenty of people find us there. That’s fine. It just costs you more than it needs to, and the reason is arithmetic rather than opinion.
A listing site adds its commission to the nightly rate, and then charges that same commission on the cleaning fee as well. You pay for the house, and then you pay again for having found it there. We priced the same houses on the same nights both ways on 31 August 2026 and the stay came out about 10 percent cheaper here. On a three night weekend that is somewhere between $70 and $210, depending on the house.
There’s a 4 percent guest service fee on this site. It pays for the checkout and for the protections that come with it, and it is already inside the total you’re shown before you pay. We never add a line of our own on top of it. The number you see is the number the card is charged.
Prices last checked 31 August 2026. Every figure on this page comes from that check, and the quote you get before you pay is always the authority on what a particular stay costs.
What you get here that a listing site can’t give you
-
You’re talking to the owner
Write to bookings@beyondbnbventures.com and it reaches me. Not a queue, not a support tier, not a message thread inside somebody else’s app that closes when your stay ends.
-
The same team behind all 8
One small team looks after every one of these houses. The standard you get in Tennessee is the standard you get in Texas and in Pennsylvania, because it’s the same people setting it.
-
Nothing waiting for you at the end
Cleaning, taxes and the service fee are all inside the total before you pay. There’s no separate booking fee here, because there’s nobody in the middle to charge one.
Where the houses are
Four places, chosen because we know them well enough to tell you where to eat and which park most people drive straight past. 8 of the 8 houses take dogs, and each house page says which.
-
Columbia, Tennessee
1 house
Forty minutes south of Nashville, with a square worth walking and a park most people drive straight past.
-
Chattanooga North Shore
1 house
Walk to Coolidge Park and the carousel, with the river and the bridge at the end of the street.
-
Quiet country an hour out of Philadelphia, with a big yard, a fire pit and twenty miles of rail trail nearby.
-
Plano and Frisco, Texas
5 houses
Walkable to Legacy Food Hall and the shops, with pools, workspaces and room for the whole group.
How booking here actually works
-
Step one
You pick the nights on the house page
The booking panel knows which nights are free and how long the house needs you to stay, so it won’t let you choose a stay that can’t happen. The running total it shows while you are deciding is a good guide rather than a promise.
-
Step two
We price it properly
When you ask for the price, we get a real quote for your dates and your party: the nights, the cleaning, the taxes and the service fee, itemised, with any code you entered applied. That quote is the authority on money.
-
Step three
Hospitable takes the payment
The last step opens Hospitable’s checkout with your stay already priced. They take the card, and they collect and remit the lodging tax. Your card number never touches this site. Your confirmation and your arrival details come from them.
If you’ve a question first
Ask it. Most of what people want to know is already answered on the questions page, and if yours isn’t there then it is one sentence to me at bookings@beyondbnbventures.com.
The terms for booking here are on the terms page, and what this site does with your details is on the privacy page. Both are written in plain English.
