The former Young Women s Christian Association Building and the site of the long-demolished home of former President James K. Polk will be renovated for use as boutique hotel space.

Much like Stay Alfred and Niido, Sonders offer more high-end hospitality services and spaces than many conventional short-term rental offerings affiliated with Airbnb, VRBO and HomeAway.
Sonder has an office presence at 600 Main St. in East Nashville, from which it partners with small businesses for operations such as cleanings and repairs.

Last year, extended-stay brands, particularly the economy and midscale segments, saw less dramatic declines in revenue per available room and occupancy than most traditional hotel brands.

Almost everything has remained the same at 70 Pine Street the oak floors, modern furnishings and colorful art except for the short-term rental startup operating its 132 rooms. After six years in business, Lyric succumbed to shaky finances and a travel shutdown in July 2020. Now, the 66-story Lower Manhattan building is the New York City flagship for Mint House, a three-year-old startup that caters to business travelers. Mint House is one of several short-term rental companies playing a game of musical chairs with its failed rivals. Startups such as Lyric and Stay Alfred which leased apartments and operated furnished rentals went out of business after the pandemic sent travel into a spiral, leaving behind several thousand vacant units across the country. That’s created a big opportunity for other short-term rental startups to expand without having to front the costs of outfitting and readying units from scratch.

Small home experts Alexis Stephens and Christian Parsons have been taking their tiny house on wheels around North America to find functional, attractive little abodes and advocate for living simply. After almost five years on the road, they were stopped in their tracks by a treehouse in the Columbia River Gorge.
Elevated 20 feet above the ground on private property in White Salmon, Washington, is the Klickitat Treehouse, a Scandinavian-style dwelling fully supported by three Douglas fir trees.
