The Tools We Actually Use
We name the actual tools, not vague phrases like "industry-leading software." Here's exactly what we set up and why.
The Stack
Hospitable
Our primary PMS and channel manager specialization. Handles calendar sync, automated messaging, and native dynamic pricing across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.PriceLabs
For properties that need deeper pricing customization than Hospitable's native tools offer, especially in competitive or event-driven markets.TouchStay
Digital guidebooks and house manuals that answer guest questions before they're asked, reducing messages and improving reviews.Schlage Encode
Our recommended smart lock. Automatic access code generation and expiration per reservation, no physical key handoffs required.Ecobee
Our recommended smart thermostat. Remote temperature management between stays, and guest comfort during them, without manual intervention.Minut
Discreet noise and occupancy monitoring that catches a party or overcrowding issue before it becomes a neighbor complaint or a damage claim. No camera, no audio recording, privacy-respecting by design.
Why We Don't Just Push One Tool
Plenty of consultants recommend whichever tool is easiest for them to set up, or whichever pays them the best affiliate commission. We specialize in Hospitable because it fits most of the hosts we work with, not because it's the only thing we know. If your situation calls for PriceLabs instead, or alongside it, we'll say so.
