Travelers often like to plan and research things before beginning their vacation. Nearby restaurants, grocery stores, hiking trails, local attractions, and the weather, are just a few of the things travelers commonly ask hosts about.
Guests also appreciate knowing what to expect upon arrival, how to check into the property, and what items will or won't be supplied. Help your guests prepare and pack accordingly by creating welcome digital guest collections on Houfy.
All you have to do is send your guests your Houfy collection URL. The guest doesn't have to download anything. And they don't even need to create an account. And best of all, it doesn't cost a thing! Houfy collections and Houfy listings are free for members.
