From Weekend Hosts to Full-Time Pros
Frustrated by impersonal ‘big-box’ managers, we created Ridge Stays to offer boutique care, data-driven pricing, and genuine Southern hospitality—so owners earn more and guests feel right at home.
What started as a single vacation home in Blue Ridge quickly grew into a portfolio of high-performing rentals. Along the way, we discovered that great hospitality isn’t just about clean sheets and key codes—it’s about care, connection, and treating every property like our own. Ridge Stays is built on the belief that short-term rentals should deliver long-term value—for homeowners, for guests, and for the communities we serve.
