If a Host location is listed on our site, that means the hHost location is active. However, they may not be available to Host guests every day of the year. Hosts can block out days or weeks that they are not available.

Each Host is also able to set their preferences for their window of accepting stays in advance, ranging from 60 -180 days for Harvest Hosts and 7-180 days for Boondockers Welcome Hosts. Most of our Hosts use the default number of 90 days in advance. If a Host's calendar is grayed out into the future, their window may not be open yet and you will need to check back at a later time.

Some Hosts allow same-day requests, which will be listed on their profile. As long as the Host's calendar is open and available, you may request a stay!

While on the Host Profile page on the website, click on the Check Availability button on the right just below the photo header to see their availability. Here you can see the dates that they are available to Host (in black) versus the Hosts that are unavailable (in light grey).
