Best Airbnb Suppliers & Trade Programs for Furnishing a High-End Vacation Rental

Creating a successful Airbnb takes more than beautiful interiors. The best vacation rentals combine thoughtful design, comfortable furnishings, quality guest amenities, and the practical supplies needed to deliver a consistently exceptional stay.
For homeowners in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, furnishing a vacation rental can be a significant investment. From premium bedding and furniture to bathroom toiletries, kitchen essentials, and cleaning supplies, costs add up quickly.
At Hudson Valley Hosting, we help owners furnish, prepare, and maintain vacation rentals with a focus on guest experience, durability, and long-term value. We also have access to exclusive trade programs and preferred pricing from a growing network of premium home and hospitality brands, helping our homeowners furnish and elevate their properties while making the most of their investment. More on those benefits below.
Here are some of our recommended suppliers, brands, and purchasing resources for setting up or upgrading a high-end Airbnb.
1. Minoan — Furniture, Decor & Hospitality Discounts
Minoan is a purchasing platform designed for vacation rental owners, property managers, and hospitality professionals.
It provides access to furniture, lighting, mattresses, linens, and accessories from participating brands, often with hospitality-focused pricing. It's particularly useful when furnishing an entire property or planning a major refresh.
Best for: Furnishing new Airbnbs, upgrading interiors, and sourcing premium products.
2. Hudson Valley Lighting Group, Schoolhouse & Ruggable — Lighting, Rugs & Finishing Touches
The finishing details can transform how a vacation rental looks and feels.
Hudson Valley Lighting Group and Schoolhouse offer distinctive lighting and home accessories, while Ruggable provides stylish washable rugs that are particularly practical for family- and pet-friendly properties.
Thoughtful lighting, durable rugs, and cohesive design details help create a polished interior without requiring a complete renovation.
Best for: Statement lighting, washable rugs, bedside sconces, and design-focused upgrades.
3. Boll & Branch, Brooklinen & Thuma — Premium Bedding & Bedroom Essentials
Few things influence the guest experience as directly as a comfortable bed and quality linens.
Boll & Branch and Brooklinen offer premium sheets, duvet covers, towels, and bedding, while Thuma specializes in minimalist bed frames and bedroom furniture.
For vacation rentals, we recommend comfortable, easy-care fabrics, quality mattresses, and enough backup inventory to support efficient turnovers.
Best for: Luxury bedding, premium bed frames, comfortable bedrooms, and boutique-hotel-inspired guest experiences.
4. West Elm, Rejuvenation, Article & Plywood — Furniture That Elevates Your Listing
Furniture plays a major role in how a property photographs and how guests experience the space.
West Elm, Rejuvenation, Article, and Plywood offer options for creating stylish, cohesive interiors, from living room furniture and dining tables to bedroom furnishings and decor.
For Hudson Valley vacation rentals, we favor timeless materials, warm textures, and comfortable furnishings that complement the property's architecture and surrounding landscape.
Best for: Living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms, and full-property furnishing projects.
5. HostGPO — Group Purchasing for Vacation Rental Owners
HostGPO is a purchasing group designed specifically for short-term rental operators.
Members can access negotiated pricing across participating brands and suppliers, covering furniture, mattresses, linens, kitchenware, and hospitality essentials.
It's particularly useful for owners making larger purchases or managing multiple properties.
Best for: Vacation rental purchasing, property setup, and potential savings on larger orders.
6. WebstaurantStore — Kitchen & Hospitality Essentials
A beautiful kitchen should also be practical.
WebstaurantStore offers cookware, dinnerware, glassware, storage solutions, and hospitality supplies.
For larger Hudson Valley vacation rentals accommodating families and groups, having sufficient plates, glasses, serving dishes, and cookware is especially important.
Best for: Fully stocking kitchens, replacing broken items, and purchasing durable essentials in quantity.

7. Bulk Apothecary — Toiletries & Bathroom Amenities
Bulk Apothecary offers bulk personal care products, including soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions.
For higher-end Airbnbs, we generally recommend thoughtfully selected toiletries in attractive, easy-to-maintain dispensers rather than an assortment of mismatched travel-size bottles.
Best for: Bathroom toiletries, bulk personal care products, and refillable amenity programs.
8. RestockIt & DollarDays — Everyday Airbnb Supplies
Not every purchase needs to be a design investment.
RestockIt and DollarDays can be useful for sourcing everyday supplies such as paper products, cleaning materials, and other consumables.
Buying frequently used products in bulk can simplify restocking, reduce last-minute shopping trips, and help maintain consistency between guest stays.
Best for: Paper goods, cleaning supplies, and recurring household essentials.
Don't Overlook the Small Details
Premium furnishings make a strong first impression, but consistent guest amenities are just as important.
We recommend keeping every vacation rental stocked with:
Quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
Plenty of toilet paper and paper towels
Coffee, tea, and basic kitchen essentials
Dishwasher detergent, dish soap, and sponges
Laundry detergent and cleaning supplies
Extra towels, pillows, and blankets
Firewood and fire starters for applicable fireplaces and fire pits
Outdoor essentials such as grill tools and pool towels
For larger homes, quantities should reflect the maximum guest capacity—not simply the number of bedrooms.
Why Trade Programs Are Worth Exploring
One advantage of working with a professional vacation rental management company is access to established vendor relationships and purchasing resources.
At Hudson Valley Hosting, we have access to a growing network of trade programs and preferred purchasing opportunities across furniture, lighting, bedding, rugs, and other property essentials.
For homeowners furnishing a new vacation rental or planning substantial upgrades, these programs may help reduce costs without compromising on design or quality.
Discounts and eligibility vary by brand and program, but the potential savings can be particularly valuable when furnishing an entire property.
Furnishing a Vacation Rental Is Only the Beginning
A successful Airbnb needs more than attractive furniture and a well-stocked kitchen. Professional photography, thoughtful listing optimization, dynamic pricing, reliable cleaning, and responsive guest communication all contribute to the overall experience.

Whether you're launching a new luxury vacation rental, refreshing an existing property, or looking to improve an underperforming listing, we can help you make informed decisions about furnishing, amenities, operations, and revenue management.
