The Holiday Pause Before a New Chapter: Staycation Go Launches January 23

Journal #1 | Sat Dec 20 2025 (Updated Sat Dec 20 2025)


As the year slows down and the holidays settle in, there is always a brief moment of stillness. A pause between what has been and what is about to begin. For travelers, creators, and hosts alike, that pause feels especially meaningful this year.

On January 23, 2026, Staycation Go officially launches.

For those who have followed Staycation over the past four seasons, the idea will feel familiar. The Emmy-winning series has always been about more than destinations. It is about the places people actually stay. Homes with character. Locations with a story. Spaces that make you feel something the moment you arrive.

Staycation Go is built on that same philosophy.

Staycation began as a travel show created by Robert Parks and Valetta, focused on uncovering remarkable stays rather than standard hotel experiences. Over the years, viewers repeatedly asked the same question: “Can I actually book this place?”

Staycation Go is the answer.

It is a direct booking platform that brings together a curated selection of unique homes featured through the Staycation ecosystem. No inflated commissions, no unnecessary intermediaries, and no endless scrolling through anonymous listings. Just real places, hosted by real people, available to book directly.

This launch marks the first time viewers can move seamlessly from inspiration to reservation.

The platform is designed for travelers who care about where they stay, not just where they go. People looking for privacy, character, design, and connection. Hosts who prefer direct relationships with their guests, without sacrificing visibility or trust.

Staycation Go is not a marketplace built on volume. It is built on selection.

Every home on the platform fits within the Staycation ethos: distinctive architecture, thoughtful interiors, and locations that add to the experience rather than distract from it. These are places meant to be lived in, not passed through.

Staycation Go does not exist in isolation. It is part of the broader Staycation ecosystem, which includes the television series, digital content, creator collaborations, and now a booking platform that ties everything together.

The platform connects inspiration, storytelling, and travel into one continuous experience. Watch a stay. Learn its story. Book it directly.

As the holidays close out the year, Staycation Go is preparing to open its doors. The coming months will introduce new homes, new destinations, and new ways for travelers and hosts to connect without friction.

January 23, 2026 is not just a launch date. It is the start of a more intentional way of booking stays.

A way that values places over platforms, stories over algorithms, and experience over scale.

Welcome to Staycation Go.
