Free, forever
Your listing is free and stays free, with 0% commission. Every booking happens on your own site — no booking fees for your guests, ever, and we never touch the money.
Founding host
Become a founding host.
This directory is new, and the hosts who join now are the ones who make it real. In return you get its best offer — everything below, free, with your bookings staying entirely yours.
What founding hosts get
The founding badge
A founding-host mark on your listing that says you were here first. Hosts who join after the founding period can’t earn it — it’s yours for as long as you’re listed.
A year of featured placement
Your listing rides up front for a full year — featured on the homepage and at the top of your destination’s page, where travelers start looking.
Optional fast site build
No direct-booking site yet? We build one in days — your domain, gallery, availability calendar synced from your Airbnb/VRBO iCals, request-to-book. Optional and paid; services like this are how listings stay free.
Who this is for
- You rent out a vacation home — on your own, or alongside Airbnb or VRBO.
- You have your own direct-booking site — or you want one.
- You want the guest relationship — direct inquiries, your policies, your repeat guests, no one standing in between.
Honest questions, honest answers
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Listings are free for everyone, forever — not just founding hosts — and we take 0% commission on every booking. Founding status adds the badge and a year of featured placement on top. Also free.
- So what’s the catch?
- There isn’t one. We make money on optional services — building direct-booking sites and enhancing listing photos for hosts who want that — never on your bookings. If you never spend a dollar with us, your listing stays live all the same.
- Do you handle bookings or payments?
- Never. Your listing links travelers straight to your own booking site. You set the rates, the policies, and the guest experience; the money moves between you and your guest, and we never see it.
- What do I need to list?
- A home you rent out and a way for guests to book you directly — your own site, or one we build for you. An Airbnb or VRBO listing is optional; if you have one, we show the link so guests can read your reviews there.
- Who keeps my listing up to date?
- You do. Photos, prices, your rating and your calendar all live in your dashboard, and changes go live within a minute.
- I don’t have a direct-booking site yet — can I still apply?
- Yes — apply and tell us. You’ll need one before your listing goes live, because linking travelers to it is the whole point. Bring your own, or we can build you one: your domain, a synced availability calendar, request-to-book. That’s an optional paid service, and the application has a box to tick if you’re interested.
- How long does founding status last?
- The featured placement runs for a year from the day your listing goes live. The founding badge stays on your listing for as long as you’re listed — later hosts can’t earn it.
- Who counts as a founding host?
- The earliest hosts — the ones who take a chance on a young directory and shape it with us. We’re not going to invent a countdown or a fake “only 12 spots left”: while this page says the offer is open, it’s open. When the founding period ends, we’ll say so here.
The application takes about five minutes.
