I have been a General Contractor in the San Antonio area for the last 16 years and now looking to grow in this new face of business.

Maybe reach out to VRBO and ask about it.We had an issue late last year where we stopped getting VRBO bookings for our Smokies cabin.

We have been able to find a few in the last year and many others are too.
