YOU’RE MORE THAN A GOOD HOST, YOU’RE SUPER
YOU TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR PROPERTIES AND OPERATE YOUR BUSINESS WITH INTEGRITY. YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GUESTS AND YOUR NEIGHBORS, CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECOSYSTEM.
YOU ARE COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY AND HOSPITALITY.
OUR MISSION
Stay Good is a resource hub that takes a thoughtful and strategic approach to responsible hospitality. Our goal is to be an advocate for ethical STR hosts while building a network of stakeholders that will establish future industry standards. We aim to represent and celebrate operators who love their locale while supporting their efforts to become assets to their neighborhoods. Whether you’re a seasoned host or just entering the space, Stay Good is your go-to digital destination.
We believe that you don’t have to sacrifice integrity to be successful.
The hospitality sector can be a positive balance of numbers and neighbors.
It’s no secret that Airbnb and STRs can trigger some less than positive perspectives. Stay Good was founded to combat the Airbnb Ick. We have identified a need for a “top-of-mind” seal of approval for hosts, guests, and businesses who benefit from the influx of travelers. As more hosts align with the Stay Good ethos, we will become a symbol of community-minded operators who are recognized for their commitment to doing good and staying good.
Building connections
beyond the guidebook
What do we mean by beyond the guidebook? We are referring to the connections you make with your guests and the contribution of cash to your local economy: occupancy, taxes, guest spending at local establishments.
YOUR BUSINESS ADDS VALUE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND LOCAL BUSINESS LANDSCAPE.
Stay Good helps elevate short-term + mid-term rental operators and guest stays through data insights, community dialogue, and resources for day-to-day optimization. We support hosts to build a competitive edge and contribute to conscientious travel experiences by building connections beyond the guidebook.
NUMBERS
WE BELIEVE THAT SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY POSITIVE NUMBERS AND NEIGHBORHOOD POSITIVITY.
GUESTS WANT TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT OF ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES WITH THEIR DOLLAR$.
NEIGHBORS
STAY GOOD BELIEVES THAT SHORT AND MID-TERM RENTAL OPERATORS HAVE A RECIPROCAL IMPACT ON THEIR LOCAL BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM.CONNECTING AND COLLABORATING WITH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IS KEY TO SUCCESS.
OUR GOAL - THE ROAD TO STAYING GOOD
Stay Good is building an education-rich digital community and evaluation tool that helps hosts to showcase their commitment to neighborly practices and responsible hospitality, with an emphasis on efficiency and implementation. As a multimodal initiative, Stay Good will first serve as a hub for elevating short-term rental (STR) businesses and guest stays through data insights, community dialogue, and resources for day-to-day optimization.Ultimately, our goal is to become an industry standard for STR operators that is easily recognizable by guests, businesses, legislators, regional stakeholders, and fellow hosts. Similar to the “Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval,” we will develop a framework of criteria for what qualifies a property to be a Stay Good member.
ANTIDOTE TO THE "AIRBNB ICK"
We aim to provide an antidote to the “Airbnb Ick” that plagues both guests and hosts by addressing the negative reputation that STRs have gained over the years due to concerns about its impact on local communities and housing markets. By offering an alternative perspective to the more corporate-driven model of Airbnb, Stay Good appeals to guests and hosts who are looking for a more authentic and engaging travel experience.Aligned with a growing movement that seeks to promote responsible and sustainable tourism, our ethos is centered around uplifting small-scale independent operators of STRs who are embedded in and committed to positive economic development in their neighborhoods.
"Short term rentals have an increasing and sometimes profound impact on the communities around them. It's critical that operators of STRs acknowledge this responsibility and take meaningful steps to be good neighbors. Heather has proven to do this well, so it's great to see Stay Good developing this capacity and mindset among other STR operators."
