This summer, we had the incredible opportunity to host the amazing Sioux Falls City FC soccer players at two of our properties. Partnering with Sioux Falls City for the second season has been an absolute joy! These players are not only fantastic on the field but also wonderful off the field.

Now that their spectacular season has wrapped up, we're excited to announce that Atomic Ranch and The Good Place are open for bookings again! Don't miss out on experiencing these fantastic spaces. Book your stay today!

History has always been one of our favorite subjects. So, when the opportunity arose to add a nationally registered historic property that’s over 100 years old to our lineup of Sioux Falls properties, we couldn’t say no.

When I tell people that SoDak Stays is a team of two (plus our amazing inspectors and cleaners), and that we manage 20+ properties on our own, people often wonder how we do it. Truthfully, we wouldn't be nearly as successful without these tools that make our lives so much easier.

If you've ever been curious to learn what it takes to manage your own short-term rental, we go over hosting tools plus so many other topics when you book a consultation call! Learn more in our latest blog post.

This month marks 2 years of owning The Ziggy! Owning an investment property has not been easy (our fault for buying an 100+ year old home 😅), but it has taught us SO much and we believe it's made us better hosts for all of the properties we manage for other owners.

Have you ever thought about owning an investment property? Shoot me a DM and I'd love to chat about some great investment properties that are on the market in Sioux Falls right now!!

We're celebrating THREE years in business this month! Year after year, our favorite thing about being business owners is the connections we get to make. Whether it's guests staying in one of our properties, owners that trust us with their investments, or our turnover team members that are the heart and soul of our company - connecting with human beings is where it's at. Our family thanks you for being a part of the journey the past 3 years! 🫶

Did you know that Airbnb charges a 14% or more service fee on each reservation? That's money that goes straight into the pockets of Airbnb. We don't charge any extra fees when you book on our website at sodakstays.com. Read more reasons to book direct on our recent blog post!

You want to know what my biggest annoyance is when searching for an Airbnb for a trip? Not knowing the layout of the house and what size beds are in each bedroom!

We are currently planning a family trip with my parents, siblings, and their kids. In total, it's 11 adults + 10 children. It's been SO difficult to figure out if an Airbnb is going to be a good space for us based on the layout of the home which is why we strive to be AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE in our listings! In each of our SoDak Stays listings you will find a description of what size bed is in each bedroom along with what floor the bedroom is on and whether or not it has a bathroom attached. To bring it even further, we now have floor plans (swipe to check them out) so you can visually see everything.

We get it – planning family trips can be a puzzle! That's why we spill all the details on our listings – bed sizes, floor plans, you name it. Your ease matters, and we've got your back! Ready to make some memories?
