Stay Over is a professionally managed short-term rental operator based in New York, managing a portfolio of 62 active listings across destination-driven markets, including Red River Gorge, Kentucky. The portfolio focuses on well-appointed cabin accommodations designed for travelers seeking nature-forward stays without sacrificing comfort or reliability.
Many of Stay Over’s properties are located outside major urban centers, where demand is typically more seasonal and leisure-driven. To stabilize booking volume and unlock new demand sources beyond weekend getaways, Stay Over partnered with Livily to access managed corporate travel demand—without changing pricing strategy, operational workflows, or internal systems.
During the reporting period, Stay Over generated $35.8K in total booking value across 66 completed bookings, with an average booking value of $542.64. The results demonstrated Livily’s ability to deliver consistent, repeatable corporate bookings even in non-urban, experience-oriented destinations.
Why This Matters
Stay Over’s success with Livily is particularly notable because the portfolio is not concentrated in major urban business hubs. Properties in destinations like Red River Gorge are traditionally viewed as leisure-only markets.
Livily proved that managed corporate travel demand extends beyond city centers—supporting use cases such as project-based work, extended assignments, relocations, and insurance-related stays in secondary and destination markets. This expanded Stay Over’s addressable demand and reduced reliance on weekend-only leisure bookings.
Stay Over connected its 62 listings to Livily, unlocking access to corporate travel demand distributed through Travel Management Systems (TMS) and Travel Management Companies (TMCs)—channels historically dominated by hotel inventory.
Livily operated as a corporate distribution layer rather than a traditional leisure OTA. Inventory, pricing, and availability synced automatically, allowing Stay Over’s properties to be booked by business travelers operating within managed corporate travel programs, relocation workflows, and short-term project assignments.
Corporate Discounts & Corporate Rate Plans
Through Livily’s corporate travel infrastructure, Stay Over participated in structured corporate pricing programs aligned with enterprise travel purchasing standards. These rate plans were designed to support repeat usage, predictable booking behavior, and portfolio-wide consistency—not one-off discounts.
For Stay Over, this approach favored booking volume and stability. While individual bookings reflected moderate values, the cumulative impact delivered meaningful revenue through higher reservation counts and dependable utilization across corporate use cases.
Flexible Cancellations Aligned with Corporate Travel Policies
Corporate travelers often operate under changing schedules driven by project scope, client needs, or internal approvals. Livily aligned Stay Over’s listings with cancellation terms expected within TMS and TMC environments, removing a key barrier that typically limits vacation rental adoption in corporate travel.
This flexibility increased booking confidence and reduced hesitation at checkout. In practice, Stay Over saw stronger booking completion rates and earlier commitments, while cancellations remained within predictable, manageable ranges.
By partnering with Livily, Stay Over successfully expanded into corporate travel distribution without disrupting existing operations. The partnership delivered consistent booking volume, improved weekday utilization, and reliable revenue from managed corporate travel programs.
This case study highlights Livily’s ability to support urban, professionally managed portfolios by delivering enterprise-grade demand traditionally reserved for hotels—while preserving operational simplicity and control for operators.
