Calendar and availability

One calendar drives availability for your host website, the marketplace, and external channels you sync with iCal.

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 on the public API.

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

  • Export — Copy the listing iCal URL into Airbnb, VRBO, or other tools that import calendars.
  • Import — Add external iCal sources and sync (manual sync now or scheduled cron). Those blocks then show on Yall Come Back.
  • Always verify both directions after you change another channel. Keep nights aligned.

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.
