USEFUL BEHIND THE SCENES. WELCOMING OUT FRONT.
A practical foundation
for independent lodging.
Start with the booking application. Keep your existing website, or scope a separate Cassian Creative website project.
A booking page that feels like you
Your property name, brand color, accommodation details and policies. Link it from your existing website or discuss a separate website project.
Rates guests can understand
Nightly and seasonal pricing, cleaning charges, configured tax and a deposit shown before the request.
An owner desk that keeps you in control
Review requests, approve stays, reserve nights, check payment status and keep guest records together.
Payment options that fit your business
A Stripe Checkout integration path, another provider’s hosted payment page, or payment arranged directly with your property.
Your records, within reach
Private guest receipts plus reservation CSV, owner calendar and property data exports.
Improvements delivered together
A shared application brings maintained improvements to hosted customers while preserving their separate property data.
Built for resorts, hotels, motels and cabin-rental businesses.
We review your unit count, rate rules, current tools and payment needs together. If you need complex hotel operations, a channel manager or specialized integrations, we’ll identify those requirements before a quote.

What could more
direct bookings mean?
Move the assumptions to match your business. Compare listing fees with estimated direct processing and your entered project costs.
All inputs are hypothetical and editable. Use your actual listing fees and quote. Assumes the same stays and nightly revenue move to direct booking; it does not predict additional bookings. Percentage-only fees exclude fixed transaction charges, refunds, taxes and your staff time.
YOUR SCENARIO / NO BOOKING INCREASE ASSUMED

Payment choices,
without the guesswork.
The property uses its own merchant account. Cassian does not add an application booking commission or hold your guests’ payments.
Discuss my current payment setupA secure Checkout integration path
Deposits connect to approved reservations. Verified payment events drive confirmation after your merchant setup is activated and tested.
Another online payment provider
Use a hosted payment page with owner verification. An automatic adapter for another provider requires separately scoped integration work.
MEET THE PERSON BEHIND IT
You can reach me.
That matters.
I’m Jaron Tauschmann, the owner of Cassian SCS. Cassian Creative is the part of my business focused on websites, branding and useful business tools.
Northwoods Stay grows from the booking workflow developed through the Twin Bay Resort project. It’s a separate, reusable application, built to give independent lodging businesses a clearer way to manage direct stay requests.
I’ll walk you through the working pilot, listen to how your property runs and put the scope in writing before you make a decision.
Rooted in Wisconsin. Focused on the people running the property.
FROM FIRST LOOK TO A PROPERTY LAUNCH

GOOD QUESTIONS DESERVE CLEAR ANSWERS
Before you
make the move.
Ask about the details that matter to your property. We’ll confirm the final scope in writing.
Ask Jaron directlyIs there an annual software subscription?
The proposed model is a one-time license for the agreed core application, with no mandatory annual core-software renewal. Hosting, domain, email and payment-processing costs are separate. Optional personal support and any future major feature upgrades are agreed separately. Final terms are confirmed in your written quote.
What does it cost?
Your quote sets out the one-time software and setup price, property scope, operating costs and optional support before you commit. A customer-facing website rebuild, custom integrations or additional services are quoted separately. The calculator on this page uses editable examples, not a price offer.
Can I keep my current website?
Yes. You can link your current website to your branded booking page. We review your current platform and the best way to connect it during the demo. A full website redesign is optional and separately scoped.
Can guests pay with Stripe or another payment system?
The application has a Stripe Checkout adapter for an approved reservation deposit. Each property needs its own merchant setup, secure credentials, a reachable payment-event endpoint and testing before activation. Other providers can use hosted payment links with owner verification; automatic integrations require separate work. Eligible card and bank methods depend on the provider and account.
Will this replace Airbnb or Vrbo?
It can give guests a direct way to request a stay alongside your listings. This pilot does not include automatic Airbnb/Vrbo imports, two-way channel synchronization or a full channel manager. Existing external bookings must be reconciled before launch; discuss any channel integration you need in your quote.
Do bookings confirm automatically?
The current workflow is request, owner review, approval and deposit. A request alone does not hold dates. Approval reserves the nights while payment is pending, and verified Stripe payment events or an owner-verified direct payment confirm the stay. The arrival balance is not charged automatically.
What happens with future upgrades?
Hosted customers use one maintained core application. The written agreement will define included updates, support lifecycle and any optional major feature upgrades. Declining an optional upgrade is not intended to expire the purchased core license.
Who helps after setup?
You can contact Jaron directly. Optional remote support is scoped in your agreement; you can also discuss separately quoted work when needed. Response times, after-hours assistance, custom work and on-site visits are not assumed to be included.
Is it ready to take live payments today?
Personal demos of the working pilot are available. Each customer launch follows its own setup and acceptance process: approved pricing and policies, owner access, payment activation, guest and owner email delivery, calendar reconciliation, backups and a complete booking test. A demo is not a live reservation service.
