Our Story

Why We Built Recreation Stays

After decades operating luxury hotels, we saw a gap: incredible homes and boutique properties being run with inconsistent standards and opaque management practices.
Owners deserved better.

Recreation Stays was founded to bring hotel discipline and modern technology to vacation rentals and boutique hotels. We combine curated hospitality with data-driven operations to deliver consistently excellent guest experiences — and transparent, aligned results for owners.
