For vacation-home owners

Your vacation home can earn income without losing its history.

A second home becomes a rental one booking at a time, but it does not have to become anonymous. StayPage gives every guest a simple way to leave a page behind, so the cabin, lake house, condo, or beach home keeps the story of the people who loved it for a while.

Every stay leaves a page.

Made for the owner who cares about the home and the rental.

StayPage sits beside Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, or your direct-booking site. It belongs to the property, so the journal remains useful even when your listing, manager, or booking mix changes.

01

Keep the home’s story between stays

Published pages collect into yearly volumes instead of disappearing into a review feed. You can return to the first season years after the booking calendar has moved on.

02

Give future guests a feeling, not another feature list

Listing photos show the rooms. Guest-written stories, trip photos, and local discoveries show what families actually do there. Share the public journal as one link you control.

03

Welcome participation without giving up control

Use an optional guest PIN, publish pages immediately or review them first, and hide a page whenever you need to. Replacing a QR code never disturbs pages already saved.

The useful distinction

A digital vacation-home guestbook should still feel like a guestbook.

Most digital guestbooks are actually house manuals: the owner telling guests the Wi-Fi password, checkout time, and where to eat. Those tools can be useful, but they do not preserve what guests wanted to say back.

StayPage runs in the other direction. The QR card opens a blank keepsake page in the guest’s browser. A guest can write the story of the stay, add photos, leave a local recommendation, and sign the page without downloading an app or creating an account.

The result is not another social feed. It is a journal arranged by home and year, ready to keep private among the people who stayed or share with someone considering the home for a future trip.

From the next stay forward

A simple invitation becomes a growing journal.

  1. Step 1

    Create the home

    Name the property, add its cover photo, and choose whether new pages publish instantly or wait for approval.

  2. Step 2

    Set out one QR invitation

    Print the card and place it by the door, welcome binder, or kitchen counter. Guests scan with the phone they already have.

  3. Step 3

    Let each stay add a page

    Stories, photos, and local finds become a growing volume you can revisit and share long after checkout.

Questions from vacation-home owners

Does StayPage work if I rent only one vacation home?
Yes. StayPage starts with a one-home plan at $18 per year for written pages. The Host plan adds photos, stickers, guided templates, and full page styling for one home.
Can I use it with Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct bookings?
Yes. StayPage is independent of the booking platform. The invitation lives inside the home, and the public journal has its own link, so guests from any booking source can participate.
Is this a vacation-rental welcome book or house manual?
No. A welcome book gives guests instructions from the host. StayPage is guest-written: it collects the stories, photos, signatures, and local finds guests leave for the home and future visitors.
Can I approve a guest page before anyone sees it?
Yes. Each home can publish pages instantly or hold them for approval. You can also hide a published page at any time.
What happens to the journal if I stop renting the home?
You can keep the journal as the home’s record. If billing lapses, it becomes read-only rather than being deleted, and it can be reactivated later.

Give the home a record of everyone who loved it for a while.
