A digital welcome book for your Vrbo
Vrbo gives you a property guide inside the booking, but it is a spot for a few notes and links, not a real welcome book, and it only reaches the guest who booked that stay on Vrbo. It is not the place to keep your wifi password, your arrival steps, and your house rules in a form a guest can actually find at the door. Some hosts call the thing they need a house manual or a digital guidebook. FreshLinen is that: a welcome book with the practical half of hosting in it, at one link.
What a FreshLinen book holds that Vrbo's guide does not
- The wifi network and password, on a page a guest can find in one tap
- Arrival steps and parking, in a book that saves to the phone and loads with no cell service at the door
- House rules, quiet hours, trash and recycling, the quirks of the place
- Your favorite nearby food and things to do, chosen by you, with a map
One link for every guest, however they booked
Vrbo's guide lives inside the Vrbo booking, so it does not exist for the guest who found you on Airbnb or came to you direct. A FreshLinen book is a plain link and a QR code, so the same book works for your Vrbo guests, your Airbnb guests, and anyone who booked direct. Paste it into your check-in message or leave the QR at the property. There is no app for guests to download and nothing to set up on Vrbo's side, so there is nothing to break when Vrbo changes something.
One flat price, every property covered
If you run more than one Vrbo, the price is where most tools start to hurt. The usual guidebook apps charge per property, so the second and third listing each add to the bill. FreshLinen is one flat price, $49.99 a year, and it covers every property on your account, whether that is one cabin or ten. A guest reading your book never sees an ad, a sponsored pick, or anything with a price on it, which is simply a nicer thing to hand someone staying in your home. See what $49.99 covers, or read how it compares to the per-property tools (prices checked July 2026).
Hosting on Airbnb too?
Most hosts who list on Vrbo list somewhere else as well, and the same book works everywhere at once. If Airbnb is part of your mix, our guide for Airbnb hosts covers the same ground with Airbnb in mind, and what to put in a welcome book walks through what belongs in it, in the order a guest needs it.
