Thursday, December 9th, 2010ReserveMyHome, LLC the “All-In-One” booking site for verified vacation home and cabin rentals, reported today that bookings over the last three months have doubled in the Lake Tahoe region compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Property managers who have partnered with the company have helped drive booking conversions higher. The housing market for Tahoe rentals Real Estate is rising. 
ReserveMyHome, a branded hybrid vacation rentals and cabin website, reported today that the company looks to at least double its bookings vs. the fourth quarter of 2009 in its Lake Tahoe test market. Throughout 2010 the company added over 350 new homes, cabins and condos in the Lake Tahoe region, making it the largest local vacation rentals company in all of Lake Tahoe in just 18 months of operation. 300 new rentals were added in Maui, Hawaii during the same time period. Projections show that 100,000 rentals will be added nationally through several strategic agreements in 2011.
Local property managers that have been in business for many years are lining up to have their properties included on the website as a way to increase their bookings without any added expense to their bottom line. ReserveMyHome processes reservations through its large network of marketing channels which allows a renter to search, find and book verified vacation rentals faster than other rent-by-owner websites. After selecting a rental home, cabin or condo on the site, a renter can book it and go in minutes.
For renters, this eliminates the painstaking task of trying to reach an owner who in many cases will not respond to inquiries for hours and sometimes days. Vacation rental owners have day jobs and have little time in the evenings to answer calls and emails from renters. The logistics also take time to process back and forth between the renter and owner. ReserveMyHome’s automated software processes everything in real time down to the driving directions and entry information for access to the vacation property.
The overall state of the economy has second home real estate owners looking for ways to increase their income by converting their second homes into vacation rentals. More travelers are staying closer to home and making road trips to local destination travel hot spots. Low interest rates, are helping owners generate personal revenue and lodging tax for the local communities. ReserveMyHome now has approximately 670 vacation rentals just in the Lake Tahoe located on the North and South shores of the lake.
The company is now seeing repeat renters from last year booking on average 45 days in advance. Most bookings are for families and groups with five or more people with an average stay of 4 nights.

This is Going to Be Good!
Over the last several months this idea has been coming back to me time and time again. Initially it came on strong and I put it behind the more pressing things on my plate. A little over a month ago the sky opened up and creativity settled back in and sure enough boom… there it was again, dead center: an idea with a purpose that has every chance to change and enhance the vacation rental industry, and people’s experiences.
My usual method when starting a new project is to grab a piece of paper, pencil and ruler since I cannot draw any better than my seven year old. For some strange reason this approach did not work this time as I was overcome with thoughts of “You know what you need to do so just crank it out.” This is usually the second step.
For the next week or so all my waking energy went in to tapping on the keyboard, using the copy and paste feature in Word, capturing all those thoughts that had been rumbling around and applying them to this new concept. The phone rang, email filled my email inbox. I think I was a bad dad for a while by not paying attention to the family but this just had to get done. My mind was simply tired of storing up all the little ideas. Those ideas needed to fall into place. So I had to let it happen and put everything else on hold.
Days went by, and then weeks. I worked deep into the late night hours (this is when I do my best work) and finally it all fell into place. Everything that had been stored was now in digital format ready for the next step. The click of a button and off this project went to land on the desktop of my friend that is much more adept than I.
Upon first glance he said, “It’s a winner,” and something that “should have been done long ago.” I actually think he was as excited as I was which is hard to believe because I do tend to get a little wound up. You should see me at professional hockey games when the refs are out of line.
By now you may be wondering, “Just what the heck is this guy blogging about?” Or you may just think I’m nuts. Whatever the case may be, the vacation rentals industry will take notice. Perhaps not today or tomorrow or even this year but this idea will be launched and I believe will make an impact for the better of the wonderful vacation rentals industry I am involved in. The initial announcement will take place right here on WEDNESDAY MARCH 31, 2010 so…
Be Ready. Be Excited. It’s Going to Be Super! Coming April 2010.
