The launch of RentKentuckyCabins.com draws near

June 1, 2019

Coming soon! JM Creative Group, LLC is launching the seventh book direct regional website under the It’ Cabin Time brand.

logo-ky-ict

New to Kentucky, but not new to the vacation rental industry. In fact, we’ve been a pioneer in the #BookDirect movement by helping vacation rental owners and local property managers get more DIRECT bookings since 2009. What is a DIRECT booking? Renters book directly with our listing members, not through us. This allows renters to skip the traveler fees found on every middleman booking site.

Our mission is to give vacationers a clear path to inquire, plan and book directly with rental owners and property managers who are also the best local tour guides.

Five Reasons US Travelers Book Vacation Rentals Direct

When booking vacation rentals in Wisconsin or anywhere in the US, they have two options. They can book directly with homeowners and local property management companies, or they can go through a third-party site like Airbnb, TripAdviser.com and Booking.com and pay more. While the latter is certainly a common route, experienced and savvy travelers are likely to avoid it.

Here are five reasons travelers ditch the big online travel agencies and book direct using the websites listed at ItsCabinTime.com. 

ict-cclh

  1. Best Price Guaranteed

Third-party booking sites add a high percentage of service fees to the reservation total. A service fee of 20 percent on a $1500 weekly stay is 300 bucks; money that is better spent on a nice meal and a local adventure like ziplining, or shopping in the town you’re staying in. Why pay more for the exact same vacation rental found on book direct websites like RentTennesseeCabins.com.

  1. No Surprises

When you book direct, there are no surprises—hidden fees or otherwise. (You can rest easy knowing your personal information will not be sucked up into the wide world of data mining and aggressive targeted marketing.)

  1. More Flexibility 

We’ve all experienced minor bumps in our travel plans that forced us to modify our trips. Unfortunately, most booking sites are not understanding. The real people interacting with you when you book direct at RentWisconsinCabins.com offer tailored pre- and post-stay communication to ensure you still have a great vacation and return next year.

CottageKeeper

  1. Exclusive Options

Did you know that many of the best vacation rentals are not listed on the major sites? Listing on a major site costs money that many homeowners do not want or need to spend. Don’t miss out on these Michigan cabin and cottage hidden gems! 

  1. Better Customer Service

Do you have any questions about the property or the area that aren’t already addressed on the website? When you book direct, you get personalized answers and genuine human interaction. No one can give you better trip advice than local experts. Interested in a remote vacation in Ely, MN? Connect with the rental owners at RentMinnesotaCabins.com.

Searching for New York resorts? Now you can see all resort cabins on one page

RentNewYorkCabins.com has rolled out resort pages. Now, every New York resort has their own “resort page” that displays an interactive map with pins to show the location of each NY rental, a description of the resort, the property website link, phone number, videos, and a display of each cabin details page at the bottom. We decided to create these New York resort pages because it allows renters to see the exact location of each cabin plus learn more about the resort.

nyresort1

Check out an example of a resort page – The Gold Eagle Resort. This is a huge step in differentiating ourselves from the competition. Not only is it a great feature for renters, but it also adds extra exposure for multi-cabin resorts in New York.

How do Potential Renters Find the New York Resort Pages?

nyresort3

The first way is through the Google map found on the homepage of our website. When renters click on a pin, a small window will display with an option to select that specific cabin details page or they can select “View more cabins at (Resort Name)”. Once the potential renter clicks on the “View more cabins at (Resort Name)” they will see the resort page. The image above with the blue circle shows where to find the resort pages.

nyresort6

The second way to find the resort page is through the cabin rental details page. If a vacationer is looking at the details page and wants to see more cabin rentals at the resort, they can select “View all (Resort Name) Cabins”. The blue circle above indicates how to find the resort page from a cottage details page.

JM Creative Group announces launch of its 6th state-specific, vacation rental website: RentTennesseeCabins.com. Disrupts OTA’s online transaction service model.

Tennessee-cabin-rental

Nothing compares to the vacation experience found at Tennessee cabins, cottages, lodges, or homes. With passion and an entrepreneurial spirit, my JM Creative Group has taken advantage of a growing online opportunity in the vacation rentals niche – booking direct. Allowing travelers to easily book vacation rentals directly with owners or local managers is becoming a big competitive advantage. Middleman OTA (Online Travel Agency) booking websites are slowly removing their annual subscription (book direct) option making travelers book through their online system. However, vacation rental owners and local property managers have always relied on personal interaction which leads to repeat bookings.

JM Creative Group launched RentTennesseeCabins.com in March 2016. With just one introductory email we received our first 28 property listings. We now have 63. Book direct service is alive and well.

RentTennesseeCabins.com is not the first vacation rental website launched by our JM Creative Group. In 2009 we launched our recently trademarked RentWisconsinCabins.com. Since 2014, we’ve launched five more websites: RentMinnesotaCabins.com; RentMichiganCabins.com; RentNewYorkCabins.com; RentMontanaCabins.com and the newest; RentTennesseeCabins.com. We own dozens of rental-industry smart domains for many states, so watch for more websites coming soon.

A membercentric philosophy – We have a strong membercentric philosophy. Instead of being guided by shareholders, our business decision makers include rental owners/managers and travelers.

Membership report – As of 11/3/16, our JM Creative Group has grown rental owner/manager membership to 325 listing 1,500+ vacation rentals across 6 states.

Website organic traffic report – Our six websites recently surpassed 3 million page views.

No booking fees. No traveler fees – All JM Creative Group websites are free for traveler, and owners/managers pay a low annual fee based on the number of rentals they list. Our book direct model also eliminates booking website scams and double bookings.
