Live calendar demo

Pick dates, gather approvals, lock the stay

This is the exact flow co-owners see inside Cottagr. Tap the calendar to explore availability, then watch how requests move from proposal, to vote, to a confirmed stay without sending a single text.

  • Availability syncs with blackout dates and fairness rules.
  • Owners vote in-line; results are logged automatically.
  • Approved stays push straight to everyone’s calendar.

What co-owners love about the workflow

The booking flow is opinionated enough to keep things fair, and flexible enough to handle surprise guests.

Stay fair automatically

Assign allocation rules once. Cottagr keeps track of prime stay usage so every owner gets a balanced season.

One place for context

Requests keep relevant notes, previous votes, and prep checklists together. New owners catch up instantly.

Zero inbox chaos

Approvals, reminders, and change logs stay in-app. Everyone’s calendar updates without a single reply-all.

The first “invite-only” guest booking system

Send exclusive, custom links to trusted guests, let them propose a stay, and keep owners in control from approval to prep.

1. Send a custom link

Create an invite-only custom URL for trusted guests — your own private booking system.

2. Guests propose a stay

Guests pick dates, add notes, and submit booking request. Pricing, if any, is transparent.

3. Owners vote

Each owner gets a one-tap approve/reject vote. Weighted shares apply instantly.

4. Confirm and prep

Approved stays lock in, calendars update, and guest-specific checklists and arrival information unlock.

Designed for calm, not chaos

Families keep returning to the cottage workflow they can trust.

Audit-friendly

Every decision stores votes, rationales, and who confirmed the stay for future seasons.

Shared accountability

Owners see who is staying, for how long, and where fairness counters stand before approving.

Transparent timing

Prompt emails are sent to owners so requests don’t linger unresolved.
