Best platform for STR direct booking website

[Mike Olson]

We are ready to start short term rentals at our Palm Springs.
We will use Air BnB, but ultimate goal is to drive the Air BnB renters to a direct booking site so we have more control and pay fewer fees.

We think Lodgify looks like a good choice.
Let us know what you think of Lodgify or if you have a platform you prefer.

Thank you
Mike and Kelli :)

I recommend Houfy.com now while it is free to get your site up and running. It is really difficult to get traffic to a direct booking site. My recommendation would be to use Houfy while it is still free (they are planning on charging in the future) and use that to buy time while you build up a customer base.
