Magazine-style guest guides for rental homes

The guide guests actually want to read.

A printed magazine about your home for the coffee table, and the same guide on every guest's phone. It answers their questions, covers your house rules, and gives them a reason to come back.

Why hosts use it

Most rentals have a binder nobody opens, so the host ends up answering the same five texts. Replace the binder with a guide guests actually read, and the texts slow down.

Answers before the questions. Step-by-step guides to the hot tub, the sauna and the fireplace, right where guests use them. Fewer "how does this work?" texts.

Everything you'd have texted. Check-in, wifi, house rules and checkout in one easy-to-read place, instead of a thread guests scroll past.

A reason to come back. Guests flip through it and remember it. A code on the last page lets them book you direct next time.

The questions hosts answer every week. Every issue answers them before guests think to ask.
