Why Booking Direct Saves You Money on Your Stowe, VT Vacation (Small Business Saturday)
Book Direct and Save
Small Business Saturday is all about supporting the local people and independent businesses that make destinations like Stowe, Vermont feel authentic. For us at the 1820 House, it’s also the perfect time to share a simple truth that many travelers don’t realize:
Booking your stay directly through our website gives you the best price, the clearest policies, and the safest overall experience.
Whether you're planning a ski trip, a foliage getaway, or a family vacation, here’s why booking direct at 1820HouseStowe.com is the smartest way to reserve your Stowe vacation rental.
The Best Price, Every Time
When you book a Stowe vacation rental on Airbnb or VRBO, you’re paying platform fees that can add 12–18% to the total cost of your stay. Direct bookings avoid those fees completely. You see the true rate, without markups or surprise charges.
Our direct website always offers our lowest pricing, and our email list receives exclusive promotions that we cannot publish on the big platforms.
Direct-Only Discounts & Return-Guest Perks
Some of our most popular deals — including Small Business Saturday, winter midweek savings, and return-guest promotions — are only available when booking directly.
Direct guests also get early access to high-demand dates such as ski weekends, summer holidays, and fall foliage season.
Clear, Transparent Booking Policies
Direct booking means you get straightforward cancellation policies and no hidden fees. Everything is displayed clearly at checkout, with no confusing platform layers or vague fine print.
You'll always know exactly what you're paying for and what’s included in your stay.
Safe, Secure & Professionally Protected Stays
Every direct reservation at the 1820 House automatically includes Guesty Damage Protection — a professional protection program that covers accidental damage to the home, furnishings, and appliances during your stay.
It’s an added layer of security and peace of mind for both guests and owners.
Local Support and Faster Communication
Whether you book on a platform or through our site, you’re always communicating directly with us — the owners and operators of the 1820 House.
With a direct booking, your questions, special requests, and arrival details come straight to us without platform filters or delays. It’s a smoother, faster experience from start to finish.
Support a Small Business
When you book direct, 100% of your reservation dollars stay in the small business community. That support helps us maintain the historic 1820 house, pay our local cleaners and contractors, and reinvest in the guest experience.
It’s a small choice that has a big impact.
