The lacking of contact information…
The lacking of contact information (Hipcamp acting as gatekeeper), makes it more challenging to make a free and informed choice. There is a way, a link, that supposedly should take you to the renter, but it just took me down a rabbit hole, not very useful. Obtaining the contact information after a booking is anti-climatic. Ferreting out answers to would-be renters by talking directly beforehand is what is needed to determine final outcome of whether or not a would-be renter wants to make a booking.
