Lake Tahoe, NV/CA · Local studio
A studio for Lake Tahoe hospitality, rentals, and the outdoors
Websites and booking-ready apps for lodges, rentals, guides, and events around the lake — built to survive a season-high rush and keep earning off-season.
Around Tahoe, a website is a storefront that opens before your guests ever arrive. We build custom sites and web apps for vacation rentals, lodges, restaurants, outfitters, and wedding venues on both the North and South shores — the kind that load fast on a cabin's slow Wi-Fi, take bookings without a third-party skim, and hold up when a powder day or a summer weekend triples your traffic. Founder Michael O'Hair scopes each project in plain language and builds automation around the seasonal reality of Tahoe work: inquiry floods, turnover days, and the shoulder-season lull where you want the site quietly filling next month's calendar.
What you get
Booking-ready rental & lodging sites
Availability, inquiries, and payments wired into your own site so guests book with you directly — not through a platform taking a cut of every night.
Seasonal automation that works while you're on the mountain
Auto-responses to inquiries, turnover reminders, and follow-up that keep running through peak weekends and the quiet weeks between them.
One good-looking dashboard for the season
Occupancy, inquiries, turnover days, and payouts in a single custom dashboard built around your properties and your season — and made as clean and pleasant to open each morning as it is useful. If you can picture the view you wish you had, we can usually build it.
Weddings, events & guide experiences
Elegant one-page sites for lakefront weddings and event venues, and clean trip-request flows for guides and outfitters.
Fast, credible, and mobile-first
Built to load quickly on weak mountain connections and look right on the phone a guest is holding at the trailhead.
Serving both shores of Lake Tahoe from nearby Reno — in-person kickoffs at your property when it helps, fully remote when it doesn't. Same custom-built work either way.
Questions
- Can you take bookings without a service like Airbnb or Vrbo?
- Yes. We build direct-booking into your own site with real availability and payments, so you keep the guest relationship and the platform fee. Many owners run both, using their site to convert repeat guests directly.
- Will the site hold up during a peak weekend or a storm surge in traffic?
- That's exactly what we build for. Tahoe traffic is spiky, so we host on infrastructure that scales for a busy Saturday and quiets down midweek without you touching anything.
- Do you work with both North and South Lake Tahoe?
- Both shores, and the Nevada and California sides. We're based in nearby Reno, so an on-site visit is a short drive, and everything else is handled online.
- Can you handle a wedding or event venue site?
- Yes — from a single elegant landing page for a lakefront ceremony to a full venue site with inquiry forms, galleries, and date requests.
- What about guides, outfitters, and seasonal outdoor businesses?
- We build trip-request and reservation flows for guiding, watersports, and outdoor outfitters, with automation to manage the inquiry rush in-season and stay quiet off-season.
- Can one dashboard connect the tools I already juggle for my rentals?
- That's the idea. We connect the services you already pay for — booking channels, payments, messaging, cleaning schedules, smart locks — into one command center that does the legwork: compare a replacement appliance's price and reviews across sellers and order it to the property, reorder consumables when a turnover depletes them, or brief you each morning on arrivals, departures, and what needs attention. You decide what it watches and what it's allowed to buy.
