I’m looking to set up my direct booking site exclusively for mid-term rentals (30-day minimum stays), while keeping my Airbnb calendar settings at a 3-night minimum.

The last time I tried to configure this, the 30-day minimum setting on the direct site also applied to my Airbnb listings through calendar sync. Can you confirm if there’s a way to separate these settings so that:
    •    The direct booking site enforces a 30-day minimum stay, and
    •    My Airbnb calendar remains at a 3-night minimum?

I’d like to use the direct site for corporate housing and longer stays while continuing to host short stays on Airbnb.

Thanks in advance for your guidance on how to make this work.

Hi ​@Host 

Yes, you can technically achieve this setup in Hospitable, but it requires a workaround using the parent-child property setup, with two separate properties in Hospitable, each having different minimum night settings.

Here’s how you can do it step by step:

  1. Create a new Airbnb listing and set its minimum stay to 30 nights.

  2. Unlist this Airbnb property so that it’s no longer bookable on Airbnb — this way, you won’t receive bookings through Airbnb on this listing.

  3. In Hospitable, publish your Direct Booking site using this unlisted Airbnb listing. This will enforce the 30-night minimum on your direct site.

  4. Then, set up a parent-child relationship between your original 3-night Airbnb listing (for short stays) and this new 30-night listing (for mid-term stays). This keeps calendars synced while allowing different stay rules per channel.

Unfortunately, Hospitable currently doesn't support creating a direct booking property unless it's first imported from an OTA like Airbnb or Booking.com. If this limitation affects your workflow, I’d encourage you to upvote this feature request:

Hope this helps clarify things! Let me know if you need more detail.
