Wooded Wonder was even better than described, nestled into a secluded part of Sister Bay. Tom and his team were incredibly detail oriented in communications, leaving no stone left unturned.

I cannot recommend the Lazy Bee enough. It exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a beautiful place with all the perfect amenities, a super clean environment, and a host who is not only friendly and responsive but also incredibly helpful and accommodating, this is the place.

The host was outstanding and incredibly responsive at all times. When we noticed the heating wasn't fully reaching the lower floor, he immediately provided a technician and a space heater. That level of care and thoughtfulness says everything.

One of my favorite Airbnbs. The house and yard are bigger than we anticipated. Well furnished. Great kid-friendly features, built-in baby gates, pack and play, fenced yard.

Sitting in the hot tub while it was snowing was magical. The host is super responsive and very accommodating. We will definitely be looking to stay at one of their properties again.

We loved being able to take the kids there and would return! They were very responsive to our questions and within walking distance of downtown but it felt very private and peaceful.

We came to the area in the middle of winter and it was a frozen lake and just beautiful. We even got a glimpse of the northern lights. The manager is super responsive, extremely professional.

Our stay exceeded all expectations, the place was spotless, fully stocked with every amenity, and offered stunning views of the sunrise over the lake. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Bayside Bear was perfect for us. Well organized and exceptionally clean. The mattresses were actually comfortable. The view is spectacular, and you can open the living room curtains and watch the sunset.

This place was something like out of a magazine. Spotless and had everything we needed. My family enjoyed the house so much, there was so much to do. We will be booking here again next year.

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb. The listing was exactly as pictured. In fact, the house was even more impressive in person. This was my favorite Airbnb we have ever rented.

Top-notch amenities in a convenient location. We had a minor issue with the kitchen sink and Tom had someone out same-day to fix it. That says everything about how he operates.

About us

A family-owned company that takes this seriously.

Getaway & Stay was founded by Tom Ackley after years of managing vacation rentals for his own family and realizing the industry had a hospitality gap: most management companies optimized for volume, not guest experience.

We built the company the other way around. Every home in our portfolio is one we'd be proud to stay in ourselves. Every market has a local team. And every guest gets a direct line to a real person, not a call center.

That approach has compounded into 43 properties, six markets, and a review average that makes our owners proud and keeps guests coming back.
