The family cabin,
without the group-text chaos.
hostfnf sits on top of your Airbnb listing so family and friends can request dates, you approve with a tap, and approved stays block the calendar automatically. No more promising your sister a week and watching a paying guest book it.
Coordinating a shared place is a part-time job
You listed the cabin to help cover the costs. You didn't sign up to be the family booking desk.
Death by group text
“Is the cabin free in July?” lands across three different threads. Someone always misses the reply, and you're the one holding it all in your head.
The double-booking
You told your brother he could have the week, then forgot to block it on Airbnb. A paying guest books it. Now someone's disappointed, and it's on you.
Who's had it more?
With co-owners it gets political fast. Nobody's tracking who used the place last 4th of July, so every high-demand week turns into a negotiation.
More time at the place, less time managing it
Requests in. Approvals out. Calendar handled.
Set it up once on top of the listing you already have. No new booking platform, no moving your guests anywhere.
Link your calendars both ways
Paste your Airbnb calendar link so hostfnf can see what's already booked, then drop the hostfnf calendar link into Airbnb once so approved dates flow back. That's the whole setup, about two minutes.
Invite your people
Add family and friends as viewers, requesters, or approvers. They see live availability and request the dates they want, no phone call needed.
Approve and it blocks itself
Tap approve and the dates block on Airbnb automatically, so no paying guest can book over a promised family stay.
Everything the group chat was pretending to do
Request & approve
Family requests specific dates and you approve or hold with one tap. An expedite option pings you the moment someone needs a faster yes.
Two-way calendar sync
Reads what's booked and writes approved family stays back. Set it up once and it runs itself. You can always block a date by hand for instant, guaranteed protection.
Airbnb now, VRBO & Booking.com coming soonRoles & auto-approve
Make someone a viewer, a requester, or a trusted approver. Turn on auto-approve for off-season dates or for the people you fully trust.
Fair-use tracking
See nights and weeks used per person, per year. When the holidays get contested, you have the receipts instead of the argument.
The part no property tool will ever build
Big property software is built around paying-guest bookings. Coordinating family use earns them nothing, so they never build for it. That gap is exactly what hostfnf is for.
- ✓Multi-owner approval. Require sign-off from co-owners before a high-demand week is locked in.
- ✓Seasonal rules. Auto-approve the quiet months and require approval only in peak season, when every night has revenue on the line.
- ✓Usage and fairness.A shared, transparent record of who's used what, so allocating the 4th of July isn't a standoff.
Priced like a solo host, not an enterprise
Simple per-property pricing when we launch. Early-access members get in free while we build with you, and lock in founding pricing after.
Indicative pricing, not final. Early-access members help us set it.
The questions everyone asks first
Does this replace Airbnb?
No. hostfnf sits on top of the listing you already have. Your paying guests keep booking on Airbnb exactly as they do now. hostfnf handles the family and friends side and keeps the calendar in sync so the two never collide.
Do my family members need an account?
They get a simple invite by email and can view availability and request dates. No app to download, no password to remember. You stay in control of who can see and request the place.
How fast does a blocked date reach Airbnb?
Approved dates sync automatically on Airbnb's normal calendar-import schedule. For a date you need protected instantly, you can also block it by hand in Airbnb in seconds, and hostfnf will show it either way.
Which platforms are supported?
hostfnf works with Airbnb today. VRBO and Booking.com support is coming soon, so you'll be able to coordinate family use across every platform your place is listed on.
What if the property has more than one owner?
That's exactly what it's built for. You can require multiple owners to approve high-demand weeks, set seasonal auto-approve rules, and keep a shared, transparent record of who's used the place, so nobody has to be the referee.
What does early access get me?
Free use while we build, a direct line to shape what gets built next, and founding pricing locked in when we launch. We're onboarding a small group at a time so we can actually talk to everyone.
