Same homes. Same hosts. Lower total.
Airbnb and VRBO add ~15% in service fees. Booking direct skips them — and gets you the people who actually hold the keys.
Skip the ~15% service fees
Our direct price is set below the Airbnb/VRBO total for the same dates. On a typical weekend that's real money back in your trip budget.

Booking direct, answered
Is booking direct really cheaper than Airbnb or VRBO?
Yes. Airbnb and VRBO add roughly 15% in service fees on top of the nightly rate. Our direct prices are set below the OTA total for the same dates — same home, same hosts, lower total.
Is it the same home I see on Airbnb?
Yes — the exact same four homes (South Ridge, Kooser, Eagles, and the Farm House), managed by the same hosts, with the same calendars synced hourly.
What's the cancellation policy?
Full refund, self-service online, until 14 days before check-in. Inside 14 days, email hosting@blisshavens.com and we'll do our best to help.
Is payment secure?
Checkout runs on Stripe — the same payment processor used by Amazon and Shopify — with 256-bit encryption. We never see or store your card number.
Is there a minimum stay?
2 nights, with longer minimums on some holiday weeks. The calendar shows live availability and pricing for your exact dates.
Can I bring my dog?
The Farm House is pet-friendly ($75/pet). For the other homes, email us before booking and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
Do I need an account to book?
No. Pick dates, enter contact info, pay — done. Your confirmation email has everything, including a self-service cancellation link.
What is the best-rate guarantee?
If you find the same home and the same dates listed for less on Airbnb or VRBO, email us before booking and we'll match it. Booking direct should never cost more.
