Help/Host guide

Calendar and availability

Open Admin → Calendar. This is the host home. One calendar drives availability for your website, Find a Place, and Airbnb or VRBO when you connect those calendars.

Calendar and Listings

  • Calendar is for nights. Switch stays with Your stays on the left. That list stays in view as you scroll.
  • Listings is for the stay itself: photos, amenities, on or off, and fridge magnets.
  • From Calendar you can open listing tabs (photos, amenities, and more) when you need to edit the stay.

Public calendar

  • Guests see available and unavailable nights on the listing reserve card calendar when they pick dates.
  • Private notes and occupant names on blocks never show to guests.

Manual blocks

  • In Admin, block dates for owner use, maintenance, or offline bookings. Add a type, optional occupant name, and private notes.
  • Confirmed bookings and pending holds also block nights. This helps prevent double booking.

iCal export and import

  • Open Admin → Calendar, pick a stay, then Edit listing and open Sync. Connect every calendar you use — Airbnb, VRBO, and any other .ics feed. A booked night is then booked everywhere.
  • Step 1 — Export — Copy the Yall Come Back calendar URL once. Paste it into each site as an import calendar. Those sites then show Yall Come Back bookings as busy.
  • Step 2 — Import — In each site’s host settings, copy Export calendar / the .ics link (not the public listing page). Connect it here with a name such as Airbnb or VRBO. Repeat for every feed. Busy nights from all of them show on this calendar.
  • This syncs busy nights, not guest names or messages. We cannot log into those sites for you. Use Sync now anytime after you connect.

Tips to avoid conflicts

  • Update Yall Come Back first when you take a direct phone booking.
  • Leave buffer nights if you need turnaround time between guests.
  • Check the calendar again after a guest cancels so reopened nights are intentional.
