Live demo

Demo site. The property, the photos, and the reviews are examples, not real listings. It is here so you can see the quality before you buy.

$1,500 one-time. No monthly agency fee.

A done-for-you, custom-branded direct-booking site for your properties and your brand.

What you pay

$1,500 one-time, plus about $180 a year for hosting. No monthly agency fee and no retainer.

What you keep paying

Your own booking system, if you have one. Lodgify, OwnerRez, Futurestay, or Hospitable. We build on top of it; we do not replace it. If you don't have booking software and you book straight through Airbnb, or the system you have has no direct-booking widget, I can still sync your direct bookings with Airbnb.

The honest caveats

Direct bookings carry about 3% card processing. The 15.5% host-only fee still applies to bookings made through Airbnb.

You keep your booking system. We build the site.

01

Keep your booking system

Your booking engine stays where it works today. We build on top of it; we do not replace it. If you don't have booking software yet, or book directly through Airbnb, I can still sync your direct bookings with Airbnb.

02

We design and build your site

A custom-branded, done-for-you site built around your properties and your brand.

03

Go live

Your branded site goes live with your existing booking widget embedded.

Built by a Cleveland operator, on the system you already own.

You keep your booking system

Your site sits on the PMS you already pay for, whether that is Lodgify, OwnerRez, Futurestay, or Hospitable. We add the branded, conversion-optimized layer on top. We do not replace your system.

15.5% host-only, not an API fee

Effective October 27, 2025, Airbnb consolidated its split fee into one mandatory 15.5% host-only fee. It is not an API fee for updating availability. Bookings you take direct keep that 15.5%.

Own your guest and your reviews

A direct booking builds a guest relationship you own. Reviews you collect inside an OTA account are not yours to take with you when you leave.

Local and founder-led

You work with Jake in Cleveland, not a faceless agency.

The four things STR owners ask us.

I can build one myself for about $30 a month. Why pay $1,500?

A self-serve builder gives you a template and a booking engine. Lodgify starts around $14 a month for one property and about $47 a month at 3 to 10 properties. This is the done-for-you, custom-branded, conversion-optimized site: $1,500 one-time, about $180 a year for hosting, no monthly agency fee, built on the system you already pay for.

We tried marketing before and it did not work.

This is a fixed price, not a retainer. $1,500 one-time, no monthly agency fee, and you keep the result. No lock-in and no open-ended agency contract.

Will guests actually book direct?

That is what the payback math is for. On real Cleveland revenue of about $29.5K per listing per year, $1,500 pays back in about 4 to 13 months at a 10% to 20% direct share, and about 4 to 6 months at 1-in-5 direct. Direct bookings are the ones that avoid the 15.5% host-only fee.

Do I lose my Airbnb reviews?

No. Your Airbnb listings and reviews stay on Airbnb. Direct booking adds a guest relationship and a set of reviews you own instead of rent.
