Walk in season is upon us

[GoodScout]

I use dynamic pricing so that when I get down to one or two rooms, my rates go up automatically. I don't apologize for my rates - ever. But I am amazed at the number of last-minute bookers who think they deserve a deal.
And if I've got a zero night and really don't want a guest, I bump the rate $50. That way, if someone does desperately need a room, I at least am well paid for giving up my night off.

The best walk-ins - just booked for next summer! Got tired of never being able to get in here..

We were given an agent that my uncle used. A lot of her clients that end up here are families or a bunch of couples that her other places can't take. So for folk fest she gave us a family of five. (The three children turned out to be at least teens.) They were in the cottage maybe two hours when the father came over and asked to book the cottage for 2017. He said it was the best place the agent had ever put them up in and they don't want to end up anywhere else next year!

Same here, I've had 3 phone calls this evening from people wanting rooms for tonight.
One asked "is there something on, everywhere is full?" ........

Yes, there is something. We like to call it, 'summer.'
