What is included in a direct booking vs Airbnb/VRBO booking?

When you book directly with Everwild Retreats, you receive the most transparent rate and the best overall value.

Third-party platforms like Airbnb and VRBO typically add additional guest fees (often around 10–15%), plus platform service charges and taxes that may vary by site. These fees are set by the platforms and are outside of our control.

By booking direct, you benefit from:

It’s the simplest way to book — and often the most cost-effective.

Yes — we’re happy to accommodate when availability allows.

Early check-in and late check-out are subject to our cleaning schedule and same-day turnovers. When possible, we offer them at no additional charge.

If you’d like to arrive early, depart later, or even extend your stay, just send us a message and we’ll do our best to make it work. If the home was booked the night before or immediately after your stay, early access or late departure may not be possible — but we’ll always confirm as soon as the schedule allows.

If you need a place to store luggage or groceries before check-in, we’re happy to help coordinate that as well.

Are the hot tubs and wellness amenities private and professionally maintained between stays?

Yes — all hot tubs and wellness amenities are private to each home and are not shared with other guests.

Each feature is professionally cleaned, sanitized, and inspected between every stay to ensure it is ready for safe and comfortable use upon arrival.

Are baby/child-friendly items available (cribs, high chairs, etc.)?

Yes — we provide baby and child-friendly essentials across our homes to make traveling with little ones easier. This may include Pack ’n Play / travel cribs, high chairs, and baby gates in select homes. Availability can vary by property, so we recommend letting us know in advance what you’ll need so we can ensure everything is prepared before your arrival.
