Those surprise "service fees" at checkout on major booking platforms? We feel your pain. This guide will show you how to save significant money and unlock exclusive perks by booking your Lehi luxury stay directly with us.

The Hidden Costs of Third-Party Platforms

Direct booking means reserving your stay through the property's own website, bypassing third-party platforms like Airbnb or Vrbo and their associated fees.

When you book on a major Online Travel Agency (OTA), you're paying for more than just your stay. These platforms often add service fees ranging from 12-18%, use "dynamic pricing" to mark up rates during peak times, and offer limited flexibility if your plans change.

7 Perks You Unlock When You Book LuxeDen Direct

  • Best Rate Guarantee: Without the middle-man, we can offer you the absolute best price—guaranteed.
  • Early Check-In / Late Check-Out: We offer complimentary early check-in or late check-out whenever our calendar allows, a perk rarely offered on big platforms.
  • Priority Support: You get direct access to us, the owners, via text or call 24/7. No support tickets, no waiting queues.
  • Flexible Payment Options: We can accommodate split payments or provide direct invoicing for corporate cards, simplifying business travel.
  • Exclusive Welcome Extras: Enjoy a complimentary s'mores kit, locally roasted coffee, and special treats for your pup—just for booking direct.
  • Loyalty Credits: We value our repeat guests. Get 10% off future stays, perfect for recurring business travel or annual getaways.
  • Customized Add-Ons: Need your ski passes delivered, the fridge pre-stocked, or gear rentals arranged? We can help with that.
