Redwoods in Yosemite, one of the premier vacation rental companies operating inside Yosemite National Park, offers a unique collection of cabins and homes nestled in one of the most iconic destinations in the U.S.
Looking to diversify their guest base and tap into new travel channels, Marketing Manager Yuli Gotsev partnered with Livily to promote select properties to corporate travelers, remote workers, and extended-stay vacationers. In just 30 days, Redwoods in Yosemite secured 19 new bookings, totaling over $32,000—with an average booking value of $1,700.
Even with Yosemite’s strong seasonal demand, Redwoods in Yosemite was looking for ways to:
Increase midweek and shoulder-season occupancy
Reach non-traditional guests, such as remote professionals and long-stay travelers
Streamline booking operations without increasing overhead
While Redwoods had a strong brand and premium inventory, they needed a new distribution partner that could bring qualified demand from outside the typical OTA ecosystem.
Redwoods in Yosemite connected to Livily via their Streamline property management system, allowing for fast onboarding and real-time syncing of calendars, pricing, and availability.
🔹 Seamless Integration via Streamline
Livily’s tech team worked directly with Redwoods to connect listings through Streamline, enabling a frictionless launch.
🔹 High-Intent Corporate & Remote Travel Audience
Livily distributed Redwoods’ listings to corporate travel managers, relocation partners, and digital nomads seeking peaceful, nature-based retreats for work and recharge.
🔹 Instant Booking & Verified Guests
All bookings were pre-screened and pre-approved, helping Redwoods minimize guest risk and avoid delays.
🔹 Support from Dedicated Livily Team
Livily’s account team partnered with Yuli and the Redwoods marketing team to position properties that performed best with longer stays and flexible itineraries.
Following this early success, Redwoods in Yosemite plans to expand its partnership with Livily by onboarding more premium listings and tailoring inventory to meet the needs of remote professionals, relocation clients, and corporate travelers seeking a quiet, natural escape.
