Most communities with vacation rentals share a common challenge: hosts are scattered across different platforms, and guests struggle to book directly within the community.
What if you could bring all your hosts together, offer a seamless booking experience, and create a new revenue stream for your organization—without changing how hosts manage their properties?
Introducing CraftedStays Collective
CraftedStays Collective is a new way for communities, organizations, and travel networks to build their own branded Online Travel Agency (OTA).
This means:
- A central booking hub for all properties in your community
- A seamless way for guests to search and book
- New revenue opportunities for community leaders
- Easy, one-click onboarding for hosts
Unlike traditional OTAs like Airbnb, CraftedStays Collective lets communities control the platform, keep direct booking benefits for hosts, and earn from listings.
Why We Built CraftedStays Collective
We’ve seen countless communities struggle to connect travelers with the right stays. Many rely on basic property directories or external platforms that send guests elsewhere to book.
Here’s the problem with that approach:
- Guests leave your site and book on third-party platforms.
- Hosts don’t get the full benefits of direct booking.
- There’s no easy way for community leaders to earn from bookings.
With CraftedStays Collective, we fix that.
Now, you can own the guest experience, unite your hosts under one platform, and generate revenue while helping them succeed.
How It Works
Launching your own community-driven booking platform is simple:
- Sign Up for a Consultation – We’ll meet to see if this is the right fit.
- Design & Build Your Site – We customize everything to match your brand.
- Onboard Your Hosts – Each host gets a unique sign-up link to connect their PMS instantly.
- Launch Your Platform – Start accepting bookings and growing your marketplace.
Since CraftedStays Collective is built on direct booking principles, hosts don’t have to change how they accept payments or manage bookings. Everything flows through their existing systems.
