How to choose a name for your cabin

Say it out loud. If you have to spell it on the phone, it is too hard. "Fern Hollow" works; "Phernhollowe" doesn't.
Let it hint at the place. A creek, a ridge, the pines: guests should picture the cabin before they see a photo.
Keep it yours. Search your area on Airbnb, Vrbo and Google Maps: if a cabin nearby already uses the name, pick another.
Pick a name that lasts. Puns are fun on a sign; check you'll still like the joke after a hundred guests.
Think of the sign and the domain. Two or three words fit a sign at the door, a guest book cover and a short web address.

Check the name and the domain before you print the sign

Search the name with your town on Google, Airbnb and Vrbo.
Press the globe button next to a name in the generator: you see which domains are still free for it, such as fernhollowcabin.com, and your free yourname.stayveo.com address. A Stayveo plan includes one of these domains, renewed free every year.
Check the Instagram and Facebook handle you'd want.
For a brand you plan to grow, search the trademark registers too.

Your cabin's name, your listing title and your own website

On Airbnb your title describes the stay ("Creekside cabin with hot tub, 2 bedrooms"); your name is your brand. Put the name on your door sign, your guest book and your welcome book, and on your own booking website, so guests who loved the stay can find you again by name and book direct next time.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good name for a cabin?

A short name that hints at the setting (the trees, the creek, the mountain) and that no other rental nearby uses, such as Fern Hollow, Timber Ridge or Creekside Cabin. Say it out loud, check the domain, and make sure it fits on a sign.

What are some funny cabin names?

Puns on cabins, bears and trees are the classics: Cabin Fever, The Bear Necessities, Knotty Pine, Pine & Dandy, Hibernation Station or Logged Off. Pick one that still makes you smile after the hundredth guest.

Should a cabin name include the word cabin?

It helps when the name is otherwise abstract (Ember Cabin instead of Ember), and it tells guests what kind of place it is. Names like Timber Ridge or Fern Hollow already sound like a cabin and work without it.

How do I check if a cabin name is taken?

Search it with your town on Google, Airbnb and Vrbo, look for the handle on Instagram and Facebook, and press the globe button in the generator to see whether the domain is still free.

Can I get a domain for my cabin's name for free?

Yes, with a Stayveo plan: it includes a domain such as fernhollowcabin.com, registered in your name and renewed free every year while you subscribe.
