About STAY UPSTATE

STAY UPSTATE, a leading short-term rental management business, was founded by Austin Urban, a visionary entrepreneur with a BSBA in Finance from Elon University and a background in the investment management industry with Morgan Stanley. Austin has sold, bought, and managed dozens of properties and handles thousands of guest bookings. 

Born out of a genuine passion for real estate and a keen eye for finance, the business emerged organically when friends turned to Austin for help in managing their short-term rentals. Through word-of-mouth referrals and an ever-growing client base, STAY UPSTATE has evolved into a trusted industry player with over a decade of experience in privately held real estate and short-term rental properties.



STAY UPSTATE has expanded its services to the public, sharing its wealth of expertise and knowledge gained through managing an in-house portfolio of rentals. With a remarkable track record of over 5,000 successful stays under its belt, this business has set a new standard for short-term rental management.

What sets STAY UPSTATE apart is its unwavering commitment to excellence. From creating visually stunning and meticulously curated online listings to maintaining professional interactions with guests, they prioritize the guest experience at every turn. A rapid response to emergencies and a vigilant approach to property maintenance and upkeep ensure that each stay is nothing short of exceptional. 

Based in the scenic Hudson Valley of New York, STAY UPSTATE has expanded its operations to encompass The NY Capital Region, Adirondacks, Western Massachusetts and Southern Vermont, offering property owners a reliable partner in managing their short-term rentals. Whether you're a property owner seeking top-tier management services or a traveler in search of a memorable getaway, STAY UPSTATE is the name you can trust for a seamless and unforgettable experience.
