Owner-helping-owner growth

Share StayNear. Help another owner. Get 3 months free.

Know an STR owner, cabin host, innkeeper, or rental company that wants more direct-booking visibility? Invite them to StayNear. When they activate at least one approved listing, you get 3 months free.

The mission

StayNear was built by lodging owners who understand how hard it can be to depend too heavily on OTAs. Our referral program helps small hospitality businesses find another way to be discovered — through experiences, attractions, events, seasonal getaways, and direct-booking visibility.

Help another owner get found without giving up a percentage of their bookings.
