    Stop Paying Service Fees

    Why Smart Travelers Book Direct in Fruita

    We love platforms like Airbnb and VRBO—they help new guests find us every day. But did you know that these sites charge "Service Fees" that can add hundreds of dollars to your trip?

    The Math is Simple

    When you book Maple Cabin or Blair Bungalow through a third-party site, you often pay an extra 12-15% on top of the nightly rate. On a week-long stay, that could be the price of a brand new dropper post or a few rounds of celebratory dinners at Hot Tomato!
