Direct bookings without buying a whole system. Accurate dates on your website, and payment only when it suits how you host.
Keep seasonal dates the same on every channel

Win repeat guests as direct bookings
Cabins and camp houses earn loyal seasonal guests. A booking form on your own site keeps those repeat stays off Airbnb and Vrbo.
Collect the details a cabin stay needs
Use custom fields on Pro to ask about pets, vehicles, firewood, or access notes before you approve the request.
Turn on guest payments when you are ready
Send a secure payment request after approval, or let guests pay in the booking form on Pro once your cabin pricing and rules are set.
Booking sites
Your dates match Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Paste each site's calendar link so open dates for your cabin match what they show. Free syncs one site; Plus and Pro sync them all.

Frequently asked questions. Answers for cabin and camp house hosts, from setup to payments.
Does RentalBeam take a commission on my direct bookings?
No. RentalBeam never takes a commission on your booking revenue on any plan, and Pro adds no RentalBeam booking or application fee. If a guest pays by card through RentalBeam, only the standard Stripe card-processing fee applies, and that fee goes to Stripe, the same as any payment processor. Inquiry, pay-later, and off-platform bookings (such as bank transfer) have no per-transaction cost at all.
Does RentalBeam support coupon codes and discounts?
Yes. RentalBeam Pro includes coupon codes, percentage and fixed-amount discount rules, seasonal prices, and a weekend price. You can run promotional codes for repeat guests, configure off-season discounts, and combine them with custom fees and booking rules from the same booking form widget setup.
Can I charge sales tax, VAT, or occupancy tax on my booking form?
Yes. RentalBeam Pro supports percentage fees built for taxes: you enter the rate (up to three decimals, so rates like 8.875% work) and it is calculated on the discounted subtotal plus your other fees, the same base tax authorities use. The rate can be added on top of your prices (US-style sales tax) or shown as already included in them (EU-style VAT, with an "Includes VAT (20%)" line under the total). You can exclude individual fees from the tax base when your jurisdiction does not tax them, and guests see the tax clearly labeled with the rate. Fixed per-person tourist taxes are also supported through per-guest-per-night fees with child age rules.
Can I message guests from my email inbox?
Yes. On Pro, every booking notification email includes a reply address linked to that booking. Reply in Gmail, Apple Mail, or any email app and your message goes to the guest. When they reply, it comes back to your inbox and is saved with that booking in your dashboard. Your personal email address is never shared with the guest.
Is RentalBeam cabin rental booking software?
RentalBeam is not a full property management system. It helps cabin and camp house hosts publish live website availability, collect direct booking requests, and optionally accept guest payments on Pro.
Can I keep listing my cabin on Airbnb and Vrbo?
Yes. RentalBeam works alongside Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and other iCal-compatible tools by importing their feeds. It does not replace your listings there.
Can I collect details like pets or vehicles before I approve?
Yes. On Pro, custom fields, guest-count settings, and booking rules let you capture the context a cabin stay needs before you confirm.
Can guests pay online for a cabin stay?
On Pro, hosts can enable Stripe Connect guest payments and use Instant book or Request to book. The availability calendar itself is free.
