Cabinator demo — full walkthrough

Every screen a host sees, in the order they use it. No signup, no account, and no connected systems.

Illustrative mockups — sample data. The cabins, guests, bookings and figures on this page are entirely fictional and were invented for this demo. They are not any real host's data.

Daily briefing — Hollow Pine Lodge

Next arrival: Fri — party of 2 (sample guest B. Marlowe)

  • Two new bookings overnight; October is now 71% booked.
  • Cleaning turn on Friday is unassigned.
  • Hot tub service is 4 days past its 30-day interval.

Pricing check

Rates sit 6% above the sample comp set and it still books first. Price is not the problem here — hold rates through the fall.

Property Health scores

One score per property, built from occupancy, pacing, reviews, readiness and maintenance. Color tells you where to look; the detail tells you why.

Property Health

Each cabin starts at 100 and loses points for what needs your attention: occupancy behind the market for the next 14 days, upcoming arrivals that aren't guest-ready (unsigned agreement, missing ID, unpaid deposit), and stale data when a connected tool hasn't synced recently. The number under each cabin is its single biggest drag — fix that first. 80+ is Strong, 60–79 Fair, below 60 Needs Attention.

Recommendations

Nightly-rate adjustments for specific dates. Every recommendation states its reasoning — nothing changes until you approve it.

Risk: Balanced
Hollow Pine Lodge72% confidence
Gap fill · Oct 5 → Oct 7 · 3 nights-8%$212/night

3-night gap in an otherwise strong window (86% occupancy in the next 7 days). A modest discount fills it before the peak period.

Cedar Hollow Cabin75% confidence

Forward occupancy 29% against a 41% market. Booking pace has slowed for two weeks; a short reduction restores pickup.

Automation center

Automation scoring, vendor-neutral smart-device research, and an ROI-ranked plan for what to automate next.

✨ Automation Center Preview

Build a smarter cabin — research smart amenities, plan automation investments, and let Cabinator recommend what to automate next. The full Automation Advisor is in development; here's what it will do.

Automation Score

Each cabin gets a 0–100 score across security, energy, maintenance, remote monitoring, and guest experience — opportunities, not judgment.

Smart Amenity Research

Vendor-neutral evaluations of locks, thermostats, hot tub monitors, leak sensors, and cameras — scored for vacation-rental fit, not consumer hype.

Automation Planner

An ROI-ranked roadmap from your Automation Profile: quick wins first, payback periods on everything, sized to your budget and technical comfort.

Available today

The Amenity Analysis tab already evaluates physical amenity ROI per cabin — hot tubs, pavilions, game rooms — with your real numbers and combination planning. The Automation Center extends the same engine to smart devices: monitoring, locks, sensors, and the systems that let you manage from four hours away.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

Send saved guest contacts to your own CRM or automation tool with a webhook URL, fire a test event, and enable phone notifications. Cabinator stays vendor-neutral — any tool that accepts a webhook works.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM)
The “Add Contact to phone” button on each guest readiness card also collates the guest's details for your CRM. Paste a webhook URL from your own CRM or automation tool and every saved contact is sent there automatically. Leave it blank until you've chosen one — contacts are still stored, ready to sync the moment you connect.
