Now that the big end of the year holidays are over, it is time to start that slow build to the crescendo of festivities all over again, and because time moves so quickly, the first holiday of the year MLK Day has already passed. February, however, brings a new batch of days to look forward to, including Presidents Day (with its extra day off), Valentine’s Day, and one that you may not have heard of, Book Direct Day! The latter, held on February 5th, doesn’t offer special meals or decorations, but it does offer a fantastic way to save money on your upcoming Bend, Oregon vacation and your stay in one of our rentals, and this guide will show you all the reasons you should be thinking about booking directly from us!

Book Direct, Shop Local

Many people don’t realize that when you book your vacation accommodations directly from our website, you are actually shopping local. The money you spend on your retreat will be filtered into the local economy, enabling new businesses to open, local people to be hired, and acting as a shot in the arm in our nation’s overall economy. We at Bend Vacation Rentals don’t just work in the area; we live here, our kids go to school here, we play here, and you just can’t get any more local than that. When you utilize the standard third-party platforms, however, your money goes into the pockets of some faceless mogul who lives in other states, doing nothing to keep Bend beautiful and thriving.

Flexibility Matters

When you are first scrolling through the listings on our page, you probably have every intention of following a schedule, arriving at a certain time, taking part in certain activities on certain days, and then packing and leaving by the time we have posted as checkout time. And we know your intentions are good, but life often happens— flights get cancelled, alarms may be forgotten, and you could find yourself worrying that all the upheaval could interfere with your accommodation choice. If you didn’t book direct and used those “other” companies, it could very well wreak havoc with your plans, but because you took our advice here to heart and you booked direct, you will be dealing with us, real humans who understand that life happens and offer flexibility that will be a treat in a world that can be quite rigid.

Your Personal Concierge?

Although you won’t find a concierge sitting at a desk in the lobby (especially since you rented a vacation home without a lobby!), it will feel as if you do have your own personal concierge. Bend is a vibrant and bustling town, known for its beautiful and verdant landscape, its fantastic breweries, and for its historic downtown, and we love this place. Our passion for our hometown is something we love to share, and because you booked direct, you know we are just a phone call, email, or text away, eager to share all our knowledge with you, our treasured guests. Personal service has become quite a rare commodity in the world these days, but when you book direct, it is just another amenity that we offer.

Book Direct, Save Money

The best part about booking direct can be the money that you will save, especially as all the fees that are common with those other companies are not going to be tacked on to your bill. Just that difference alone can save you up to 10% or more, but there are other ways to save money when you book directly from our page. Last-minute discounts, holiday sales, and exclusive packages and deals can lead to a significant decrease in the costs associated with vacation accommodations. Book direct and use your savings to buy a new outfit for your trip, enjoy a bottle of wine with the meals you devour out on the town, and pat yourself on the back for vacationing the smart way in 2025.
