About Stays Lab

What We're Building

The short-term rental landscape changes constantly. Regulations shift. Platforms evolve. Guest expectations rise. What worked last year doesn't work today.
StaysLab is a community for operators who want to stay ahead—through real conversations, practical strategies, and shared experience.

What we're doing:

• Monthly meetups starting in Seattle (more cities coming)
• Video content breaking down what's working in STR operations
• Real insights from operators running actual properties, not consultants selling theory

This community is for hosts and property managers who take their businesses seriously and want to learn from others doing the same.Founded by Recreation Stays — STR operators who believe in building community, not just collecting rents.
