Case Study: Shenandoah Yurt boosts direct bookings and automates operations with Hostaway

Shenandoah Yurt - Customer Case Study

Shenandoah Yurt, a unique glamping business near Shenandoah National Park, was looking for a flexible vacation rental platform that could support its highly customized operations, direct-booking strategy, and automation-heavy workflow. The team evaluated several tools before choosing Hostaway for its flat pricing, API access, and responsive support, along with features like custom fields, notes, and a WordPress plugin.

With Hostaway, Shenandoah Yurt built a customized website and streamlined operations with automated messaging, guest portals, billing, and direct Stripe integration. The results have been strong: over 71% of reservations in the last 90 days were booked directly through their website, with an average nightly rate of $809.11, and Hostaway’s API also powers their internal bots and reporting tools.
