A Brief Company History
We have been working on our unique product since 1997. It all started with the dream of owning a mountain home.
Lots of things didn't work out. Some initiatives were wildly successful while many good ideas still needed some work in the lab. The site started as a few static pages with no search features and no online bookings. Our idea of marketing was pasting our information on the grocery store bulletin board. Our concept of sharing property photos was to send photo copies by snail mail!
We are here today thanks to fantastic owner-clients and fanatically loyal site users. Our entire business is driven by helping individual site users, owners and local businesses succeed online. It is the biggest joy we get from our jobs and this company.
The Present, And Beyond
In April 2017, two long-time employees (Matthew Hick & Taivo Evard) purchased the company from the previous ownership. Today, alluraDirect.com enables guests to search and find what they want within one minute, and is the only owner-direct lodging site in the world with instantly confirmed online bookings, world-class standards and accountability to protect site users and owners. Plus, we offer customer support for site users and property subscribers.
In the ongoing tradition of solving unique problems, creating a fair and fun online environment and making vacation and home ownership dreams come true, alluraDirect.com is staffed by creative and committed individuals who can quickly adapt to change and adjust with today's ever changing online playing field.
We are committed to helping others have a great experience and bypass unnecessary expenses so that your dreams can come true, whether you're an owner or a guest.
We aren't perfect and we know it. We live with the gap of where we are now and where we want to be on a daily basis. Hence, we are always moving forward! Send us your feedback and suggestions about how we can increase your site enjoyment, and have a great vacation!
