Unique Stays

What Unique Stays does

Enjoy Unique Stays LLC operates a curated vacation rental management business built around eight distinct sub-brand resorts — Treetop Escapes (treehouses on Lookout Mountain), Paradise Pointe (Nickajack Lake resort with indoor pool), Grant Summit Cabins (nine cabins in Bryant, AL), Saluda Grade Cabins (seven rustic cabins in NC), Cabins in the Clouds (Lookout Mountain, GA), Lake Huron Cottages, Sister Lakes Cottages, and River's Edge Lofts (a boutique hotel in Niles, MI). The company is privately held, founder-owned by Fred Boothby since 2014, headquartered in Niles, Michigan (20 N 2nd St, Suite 201), and operates with 11-50 employees across seven U.S. states (Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Indiana, South Carolina). It also offers property management services to third-party owners via a "List My Property" channel program.

The underlying technology stack is a WordPress/Elementor-based direct booking website (enjoyuniquestays.com) with property search, destination pages, amenity filters, and a property management backend, layered alongside third-party distribution on Airbnb (where the company holds consecutive Superhost status for 11 years) and Booking.com. The platform supports curated browsing via themed collections (Inspired Homes, Cabins, Pet Friendly, Spa Amenities, Waterfront). The business model is a transaction-fee marketplace: revenue is generated from guest booking fees and property management services, with unit-pricing nightly rates that vary by property, location, and season; weekly stays receive a 10% discount and monthly stays 18-20%, with a best-rate guarantee on direct bookings. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds and depends on organic portfolio expansion, OTA visibility, and direct-booking incentives (10% off for email signups) for growth.
