Brand & Web Studio for Short-Term Rentals

Stop renting your brand from Airbnb.

Nest & Nook builds websites, brand identities, and booking systems for independent STR owners — so the guest relationship belongs to you, not the platform.

DESIGN THAT BOOKS

The Real Cost of the Platforms

The fee isn't the expensive part. The relationship is.

Airbnb takes 15.5% of every booking — but the bigger loss is everything attached to it: the guest's email, the review, the rebooking, the referral. The platform owns all of it. You get a payout and a stranger.

A direct-booking brand returns all four. Guests who book with you once become guests who book with you again — without the platform standing in the middle.

The cut, on every single booking

What We Do

Design & systems,
under one roof.

Every engagement pairs the two things a direct-booking brand actually requires: a site worth booking on, and the systems behind it.

Website Templates

Why Trust Us

We don't theorize about hosting. We host.

Fjellsangin is our five-star cabin near Mount Rainier — featured in Seattle Magazine, self-managed, and booked direct. It's also the live testing ground for every system we recommend.

Nothing goes into a client build that hasn't already run at our own property: the booking flow, the email capture, the smart-home stack, the guest experience design.


30+ years of interior design behind every property recommendation


Squarespace design practice since 2017


A working direct-booking operation, not a portfolio piece
