I'm not sure I can post the link here, but you can search for "wheelhouse str pricing".

@Ann72 @Laura2592 Wheelhouse has pushed our prices way up for 2021 and we are already booking for next summer, with July and August almost full at our lake house. Demand is huge for a private getaway within driving distance of Seattle/Portland. We got a cancellation for Thanksgiving week, and within three hours it rebooked at 4x the original rate.
Before this, the primary way Wheelhouse increased our revenue was increasing occupancy. My manual pricing was much less variable, and we had significant gaps for low-demand dates. Wheelhouse varies the rates widely, so we get more for high-demand dates, and fill low-demand dates that would previously have gone unbooked. I think trying to do this manually would be extremely time-consuming, if not unmanageable.
When we get discount requests, we just say that the price is set automatically according to regional supply and demand, and we don't offer further discounts.
