THE STORY BEHIND STAYTHERE

Why I built this

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

The direct booking movement had a major discoverability problem.

While managing ReHive Stays properties, I watched the industry grow. Excellent property management systems made it easy for hosts to create their own websites. The problem was that every website stood on its own, leaving guests without a simple way to discover and compare direct stays in one place.

I built StayThere as a completely free, unified search engine to bring those properties together.

Now guests can explore destinations, check real-time availability, compare options, and continue to a host's own checkout from one place.

There are no listing fees, booking commissions, or middlemen. StayThere is an open index built to connect guests with your brand, while you keep every dollar and remain in full control of your guest relationships.
