Once upon a time there was a company called Inn Style… Hopefully that was enough to elicit a small chuckle from the reader but if not, no worries, it’s still well worth the read.
When it comes to products like Inn Style talking about why they’re a good fit for accommodation businesses, they usually talk about why they’re better than their competitors. Come on, you know the ones – a page on their website? Outlining all of their features? Then making up a load of random things their “competitors” don’t do by comparison? It’s often effective of course, but in reality we are all very similar and the differences between us are nuanced.
So rather than slandering a mixture of features from a mixture of random other property management system products, we’d rather tell you a little about why our Cabin users love using the system. It’s not quite a story about finding that cabin in the woods, away from modern civilization and living our best lives, but hopefully with a bit of imagination you’ll be able to see why Inn Style can help drive your cabin bookings to the next level.
Simplicity is our game and we want to keep things simple in explaining exactly what it is about Inn Style which makes us perfect for powering your Cabin’s bookings.
1. User-Friendly Interface
Ease of Use: Inn Style’s property management system is designed with simplicity in mind, making it easy for cabin owners who are first timers to learn and use without extensive training. The neat, intuitive interface minimises the learning curve, allowing users to quickly become proficient in managing their property.
Time-Saving: The straightforward layout and design reduce the time spent on administrative tasks, enabling you to focus more on guest experience and other important aspects of running a cabin business. What gives us that little sprinkle of je ne sais quoi where cabins are concerned is that it doesn’t matter if you are a first timer with one cabin, or a thriving business with 20, Inn Style’s property management system is guaranteed to save you time and money up front.
2. Affordable
Cost-Effective: Inn Style’s property management system is the affordable option for managing your cabin accommodation business. As we’ve alluded to above, we love simplicity and the pricing model is no different. We keep it straightforward, with no hidden fees, ensuring you get value for your investment.
Reduced Overhead: By automating many tasks and streamlining operations, Inn Style’s property management system helps reduce overhead costs, contributing to better overall profitability.
3. Customer Support
Responsive Support: We’re known for our excellent customer support… and we love it! From day one, minute one, our team of genuine skin-and-bone humans provide assistance and expertise to ensure that any issues are quickly resolved and users can make the most of the system. Our support team is (and always will be) accessible, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping our users succeed.
Training and Help Guides: Want to DIY your setup and running? No problem. We offer comprehensive training screenshares, and help guides to assist users in fully understanding and utilising all the features of the system.
4. Scalability
Growth: Inn Style’s property management system can scale with your business, accommodating increased booking volume and additional features via our extension store as and when needed. This ensures that the system grows with you, providing long-term value.
Multi-Property Management: For businesses with multiple properties, Inn Style’s property management system can manage them all within a single platform, providing centralised control and coordination.
5. Channel Management
Integration with all the main Channels: Inn Style’s property management system integrates with various booking channels, ensuring that your availability is synchronised across all platforms. This helps to avoid double bookings and maximise occupancy during quieter periods.
Rate Management: Easily adjust rates on your Inn Style’s property management system to send over to Booking.com and Expedia based on information you have gathered from our reports – particular demand, seasonality, and occupancy levels. This ensures competitive pricing and maximises revenue potential for your cabin business.
More than that: We partner directly with Cabin-centric booking sites and influencers to offer special rates and extended free periods to their customers. What’s more is they love working with us! Canopy & Stars users wanting to utilise Inn Style for direct bookings for example get a whopping 3 months free when transitioning across to working with both brands. A Cabin property management system, backed by the cabin OTAs… what more can you ask for?
6. what3words
Say goodbye to phone calls from lost guests as what3words provides your exact location to within three square metres. Our what3words integrations allows you to provide your Cabin’s precise location.
It’s all automated: Once you’ve selected your cabin using our integration, the details will be shared with your customers in both their reservation confirmation and reservation reminder emails.
It’s not at all difficult to see that we do the basics well, and that we do them well for Cabin businesses specifically. However, surely you didn’t expect us to tell you all about Inn Style’s property management system without showing you some of our favourite cabins already benefiting from our system? Well maybe you did, but we won’t disappoint. Check a few of our users below and what we love about their implementation of our booking engine:
The Lazy Duck offers luxurious off grid accommodation in the Highlands of Scotland in the shape of unique eco cabins. They’ve done an amazing job of utilising our fully customizable booking calendar for each of their cabins, showing the availability alongside the description and images to encourage conversion in the booking flow. We love it!
Samsu Cabins offer amazing luxury off-grid cabins in the wilds of Ireland and are a great example of a startup utilising our system. They’ve gone one step further with their implementation of our booking engine, utilising their technological expertise to give the booker a great booking experience. Another great user!
Cove Valley is a rewilding project in the heart of the Exe Valley, on the edge of Exmoor National Park, designed to bring nature and those who dwell there back to life. Any what a great job they are doing! We love powering their bookings!
Cabins & Castles are little different to our other users – they take the best properties including cabins and sell availability as a boutique OTA powering their bookings and operations using the Inn Style system. We’re proud to have them onboard!
We’ve left a doozy for last here… Kip & Nook are leading the charge in the cabin space, utilising repurposed shipping containers and creating amazing spaces for bookers to escape to. Utilising our booking engine traditionally, they capture all the information they require from guests upfront. We agree, they’re The Ultimate Yorkshire Hideaway!
