Swiftstay rolls out the welcome mat for a new kind of vacation

The company just launched its spontaneous travel concept in a few drivetime cities — and Nashville made the list.

From added fees to surge pricing, booking a hotel or rental can leave you spending more time exploring your bank account than somewhere new. That’s where Swiftstay comes in. The new home exchange club launching in Nashville allows members to spend the weekend away for the price of a cleaning fee.

Spur of the moment stays

If you’re imagining Nancy Meyers’ classic rom-com “The Holiday,” you’re on the right track.

Every Sunday, Swiftstay will drop listings within a 1-5-hour drive from your home. That means you can escape to a new Nashville neighborhood or travel a little further away to other launch cities (Chattanooga, Asheville, Charleston, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Savannah).

Ready, set, list

You have to start by applying for membership and submitting photos of your home. It can be big, small, owned, or rented — and even pet-friendly. If your property and its surrounding neighborhood qualify (namely, it has a nice atmosphere, is in good condition, and isn’t too far from the hustle + bustle), you go through an interview process. Then, you’re introduced to the community and gain access to the app.

Swiftstay is based off of a credit system, and every member starts with three credits (one credit = one night). You gain more credits each time you list your home, but you aren’t required to list every time you stay somewhere else. Beyond credits and the $300 yearly membership cost, you pay a cleaning fee of $150 to stay at another member’s home.
