I have a triplex that is booked as single rental for all three, as well as whole home.  Is there a way to block the single properties on weekends from being available and keep the whole home available?

If you're using our Mutual Block feature:

Then, yes, you can create blocks in specific connected properties that do not block their other connected properties as they normally would.

Thank you.  Is there a way to do a mass blocking for the individual units on weekends only? The mutual booking with our Whole Home has been a success and we want to make it so the individual units are not able to be blocked on the weekends.  I see that there is a place for check in/check out under Changeover Restrictions, but I don't think that will do what I need to do.  I want to restrict units 1, 2, & 3 from being able to be booked for a weekend. Only allowing the whole home.

At present, there is not.

You could probably hack a solution though: just make the weekend rates for the individual units something crazy high so nobody will book them.  Or for that matter, just make them the same price as the Whole House, in which case you don't really care if someone does.  :-)

Tobias, did you ever figure out the workaround for this? I have the exact same situation and can't figure out how to best do this.
