Escape for the weekend with Swiftstay

Pack those bags + get ready to explore a new city.

Have you ever wanted to take a spontaneous weekend trip, but couldn’t find an affordable option on short notice? Enter: Swiftstay , a concierge home exchange club in the Holy City, where guests only pay cleaning costs to spend a weekend away.

How does it work?

• Swiftstay is based on a credit system; every member starts with three credits (one credit = one night).
• Every home is one credit per night no matter how big or small.
• You can travel for three nights before having to list your home (you receive more credits once your home is listed).
• Members get a fifth of a credit per night a home is listed, and one credit per night when the home is booked.

Swiftstay is available in Charleston, Chattanooga, Nashville, Savannah, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Asheville — with more cities dropping soon.

Every Sunday at 6 p.m., homes that you can drive to (between an hour and five hours away) are posted. Whether you’re looking to try out a different neighborhood in the 843 or travel a little further away, there are lots of homes to explore.
