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.

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
