For independent mountain stays

Your guests are already filming your property. Keep the footage.

StayTakes turns your guests' phones into a steady stream of real, rights-cleared video clips, plus edited reels every month for Instagram, ads, and your listings.

How it works

Three steps. Your guests do the filming.

Guests scan a card

A QR card sits in the room or at check-in. One scan opens your property's page in their phone browser. Nothing to download.

They follow your shotlist

A short list made for your place: arrival, the view, the hot tub, sauna, fire pit, sunrise, and a one-line "why we came." Each clip is 3–10 seconds.

You get the footage

Clips land in your private library, sorted by shot. Each month we cut them into ready-to-post reels.

What you get

Real footage from real stays, organized and ready.

Why guests do it

Film 3 clips, get a reason to come back.

Guests who upload 3 or more clips get a reward, by default 15% off their next direct booking. They're already filming the view. Now they get something for sharing it, and you get a repeat guest who books direct instead of through an OTA.

Rights & privacy

Usage rights are handled on the page.

Guests opt in

Before uploading, guests agree on-page that your property can use their clips in your marketing. No chasing permission after the fact.

Your library is private

Clips go to your property's private library, not a public feed. Guests choose what they film and what they upload.

FAQ

Questions owners ask

Do guests need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR card and film right in their phone's browser.

Who owns the clips?

Guests agree on-page that your property can use their clips in your marketing. The clips sit in your private library for you to download and use.

What if guests don't film?

The pilot runs free until you have 20 usable clips, so you don't pay for a pilot that never gets going. The 15% reward gives guests a real reason to film.

What do you need from me?

A quick rundown of your property's best moments so we can build the shotlist, and a place to put the cards: in rooms or at check-in. We handle the upload page, the cards, and the reels.

Can I cancel?

Yes. There's no retainer. The pilot is a one-time 30-day fee, and the monthly plans after that are month to month.
