Paste your listing and answer 10 quick questions. StayDesk gives you a phone-friendly guidebook with a QR code, a printable welcome book, house rules, polished listing copy, review replies and a checklist for your cleaner, all in about ten minutes.
No spam. One email when your spot opens. Built for hosts with 1 to 10 properties.
The problem
The guidebook is in one app, the welcome binder is in Canva, the house rules are in a Google Doc, and your cleaner works from a text thread. Most guidebook tools also charge per property.
What you get
A phone-friendly page with tap-to-copy Wi-Fi, check-in steps, how things work and your local picks. Print the QR code for the fridge.
A designed PDF for the counter, ready to print. It has the same facts as your guidebook, so the two never disagree.
Clear and friendly rules for quiet hours, guest count, pets and pool safety, written in your voice and easy to edit.
Rewritten for Airbnb, Vrbo and your own direct-booking site. It's built from your text and never adds amenities you don't have.
Paste a guest review and get three replies: warm, professional and short. You pick one and post it yourself.
A private link for your cleaner with a room-by-room turnover list based on your amenities, and a report they can text back to you.
How it works
Copy your description from Airbnb or Vrbo, or link your own website. We never scrape booking platforms.
Wi-Fi, check-in, parking, quirks and local favorites. Your answers fill in the facts, and the writing assistant only handles the wording.
Check everything, make edits, then share the guidebook link, print the PDF and send the checklist to your cleaner.

FAQ
No. Booking platforms don't allow scraping, so you paste your own description, which takes about 20 seconds. If you have your own website, you can link it instead.
The facts guests rely on, like Wi-Fi, check-in times, door instructions, parking and your address, come straight from your answers and are never rewritten. The writing assistant only handles the wording, and you review everything before you share it.
No, and it doesn't need it. StayDesk works on its own, with no calendar or channel connections, which is why setup takes minutes.
Never. You get three drafts, and you choose, edit and post the reply yourself.
