Callie Trivett
Software & automation at Appalachian Host Standard.
Self-manages a Sevierville duplex and a creekside A-frame, and gives every tool one full booking cycle on live listings — including a holiday week — before it is allowed a score.
What Callie covers
Callie covers host software and automation — whether pricing is per listing or flat, whether a free tier is real or just a trial, and whether a tool needs a PMS underneath it. Every piece of that work is held to how we test and our editorial policy, which means no company can pay for a place, a score, or a kinder sentence.
How Callie works
Nothing Callie publishes rests on a vendor’s summary of itself. Where a company does not publish a fee or a price, the review says so plainly rather than printing a guess dressed up as research. Our weighting leans hardest on guest experience (38%) and value (27%), and the same rubric is applied to every company in the field — the one we rank first included.
Where you will see Callie’s work
Across our two rankings — management companies and host software — and in the individual reviews, which now run to 24 management companies and 24 software tools, each on its own page with the provider’s published facts laid out in full.
