What are hosts doing as alternatives to Airbnb?

Hi all, I have been an Airbnb and VRBO host for 3 years. I recently paused my VRBO listing because of their onerous cancellation fees, technical glitches allowing people to stay past our stipulated minimums, etc. etc. VRBO has not been the same since they were bought by Expedia. Airbnb has also become unfriendly to hosts, so I feel like I definitely need some better alternatives.
I assume I will need to build a direct booking website - any other hosts on this forum have suggestions or familiar with this?
