Vacation Rentals, Meet Rewards: Our Pilot for Hosts Begins Now

Imagine earning rewards every time you stay at a vacation rental. Now imagine using those rewards to unlock perks, support local businesses, or save on your next trip.

That future begins now.

We’re excited to announce the pilot launch of Project Redemption, a blockchain-powered rewards platform designed specifically for vacation rental hosts, small businesses, and their guests. And like all good stories, this one starts at the lake.

The Idea That Started on the Water

In 2021, we created House2Play, a vacation rental brand at Lake of the Ozarks. What started as a single property, The Hideout, quickly became one of the top-performing two-bedroom listings on Airbnb. From there, we grew a small portfolio focused on giving guests more than just a place to stay.

But despite our repeat visitors and glowing reviews, there was no real way to say thank you. No loyalty perks. No direct connection outside the platform. No rewards.

That’s when Project Redemption was born.

From Stays to Rewards: How It Works

Project Redemption gives hosts the ability to issue digital reward tokens to their guests. These tokens can be earned through bookings, referrals, or engagement—and redeemed for meaningful perks like early check-ins, late check-outs, or even free nights.

And here’s the best part: those tokens don’t stop at one property.

In our pilot at Lake of the Ozarks, guests can exchange their House2Play rewards with participating partner businesses around the lake. Grab a coffee, rent a kayak, or enjoy a local meal, all while using the points you earned just by booking your stay.

For guests, this means:

• Earn points every time you stay with a participating host

• Redeem for perks, discounts, or local experiences

• Use rewards across different businesses in supported areas

• Enjoy a seamless, secure digital experience

For hosts and local businesses, this means:

• Control your own branded rewards

• Attract repeat guests and direct bookings

• Collaborate with other merchants in your area

• Build lasting loyalty with a tool that actually fits your business

Why It Matters

Hotels have points. Airlines have miles. Vacation rental hosts? Until now, we’ve had... email follow-ups.

Project Redemption changes that. It puts the power of loyalty back into the hands of independent operators, whether you run one lake house or a network of short-term rentals.

And because it’s built by the same team behind House2Play, it’s designed with real-world simplicity and flexibility at the core.

Join the Pilot

Over the next few months, we’ll expand access to more hosts, property managers, and communities ready to rethink how rewards work.
