“Have You Heard of Harvest Hosts?”
Paul Oettinger, co-owner and head brewer, discovered Harvest Hosts when a traveler suggested it during a casual visit. The idea was simple: offer a one-night parking space to self-contained RVs, and in return, travelers support the business. No hookups, no hassle—just good beer, great company, and new customers.
Getting Started Was Easy
Pal’s set up their custom Host profile with photos, parking details, amenities, and availability. They started by hosting two RVs a night and quickly saw results—guests visited the taproom, bought food and drinks, and spread the word.
Soon after, they expanded to 10 RV spots and enabled automatic booking approvals to keep things simple.
Harvest Hosts Members Drive Results
With an average spend of $65 per visit and more than 2,100 stays, Pal’s brought in over $136,000 in extra revenue—just by opening up their parking lot. Guests stay, eat, drink, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
“We have a captive audience. Once they’re here, they tend to stay.” – Paul Oettinger, Pal’s Brewing Company
