Specific check in and out days?

Hello! Finally got our cabin up and listed and have had a handful of bookings so far (thanks to the 20% off to first guests and being on the front page for that). Anyway, some guy booked Monday through Friday with a checkout Saturday morning. That’s fine but then I realized I’m likely out someone booking Saturday night which is when (obviously) the rates are higher. I make more having him there 5 nights than just 2 on the weekend but this made me curious. Does anyone utilize the feature where you allow guests to check in and out on specific days only? If so, why?

My favorite is using a pricing software. I use pricelabs.co they have ways to restrict lengths of books and well as price for demand. The fee they charge always pays for itself. A discount for them is on home-havens.com if you are interested in them.
