PorchLight Host Get started

The light's always on.

A done-for-you guest experience for self-managing short-term rental owners. We build the guidebook, design the welcome kit, and ship the signage — so every guest feels looked after, and comes back.

Welcome them once. Bring them back forever.

For owners with 1–3 properties

You didn't get into this to manage software.

Most guest-experience tools are built for property managers with fifty doors and a tech team. If you run a lake house, a cabin, or a beach place yourself, they're overkill — and they still leave you printing your own WiFi signs.

No dashboards to learn

You fill out one form. We handle the rest.

Real, physical pieces

Branded signage and cards that live in the home, not just a link.

A guest experience that returns

Warm, complete, and yours — the kind guests remember and rebook.

What we do

Your whole guest experience, handled.

We turn your property details into a polished digital guidebook and a matching welcome kit you can set out the same week. You stay the host. We're the team behind the scenes making it feel effortless.

Everything is built for you and delivered ready to use — no apps for your guests to download, nothing for you to assemble.

The full welcome kit

  • A mobile guidebook guests reach by scanning one code
  • Weatherproof QR stickers for the door and fridge
  • An acrylic WiFi & house-info sign
  • A laminated property card for the counter
  • Framed prints to make the space feel cared for

Digital hub in every plan · printed pieces with Professional & Exclusive.

Why PorchLight

Not another app you have to run.

Plenty of tools hand you a login and wish you luck. We hand you a finished guest experience — and one thing none of them offer.

Done for you, start to finish

From your listing details to printed signage on the counter — we build and ship it. You approve, we deliver.

A physical welcome kit

Branded signs, stickers, and cards in the home. The part guests actually see and touch — and no software competitor includes.

Nearby Events & Pricing Calendar

A 12–15 month look-ahead at local events and demand, delivered monthly. So you raise rates the weekend the lake fills up — not after.
