The published facts, in plain English
Mantra PM is a hybrid operator based in Columbus, OH, covering Columbus metro. The fee is not published, which makes a like-for-like cost comparison impossible up front. Published portfolio size: 150+ (self-reported). In scale, we file it as local.
Data-desk note: STR+LTR + conversion under one roof; weak trust signals.
Who it’s for
Mantra PM suits property owners in the Columbus metro area seeking a manager that handles both short-term and long-term rentals. Their approach combines strategies for both types of stays.
Our take
This company operates locally in Columbus, OH, managing over 150 properties. They are a hybrid operator, meaning they manage both short-term and long-term rentals, aiming for conversions between the two. However, specific details such as their management fee are not published, and trust signals are noted as weak.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
A like-for-like comparison is not possible here: Mantra PM 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.
Verdict
Mantra PM is a local option for Columbus owners; for an owner-first alternative across all markets, consider One Fine BnB.

What to pin down with Mantra PM
- “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

- Evolve — 10% Core / 15% Plus.
- Preferred Guest Services — does not publish a price.
- SEA Getaways — 10–20% (published).
