If you watched Episode 5 of Renovation Resort Season 3 tonight and caught the Stay mention at the end, that was the prize. The real one.
Chalon and Liz took the episode win, and with it, exclusive use of all four lake houses on Round Lake in Havelock, Ontario (Cedar Shore, Driftwood Dunes, Coral Cove, and Moonlight Bay) for 6 nights and 7 days, for them and everyone they wanted to bring along. Booked directly through Stay, Scott McGillivray’s no-fee vacation rental platform.
And here’s the part that makes Stay different: those same four lake houses are available for anyone to book right now.
No OTA fees. No platform markup. Just four stunning lakeside properties on Round Lake, the way vacation rentals should work.
The Four Round Lake Houses You Saw on Renovation Resort
Every lake house on the resort was transformed by the competing teams this season.
Each one has its own personality, but all four share the same stunning setting on Round Lake, with private docks, hot tubs, fire pits, and shared beach access. All bookable on Stay with zero platform fees.
Cedar Shore: Lake House 1 — Sleeps 8
West coast modern vibes with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two outdoor living spaces, a hot tub, fire pit, and private dock. Cedar Shore is the ideal base for a larger group looking to take over the lake.
Driftwood Dunes: Lake House 2 — Sleeps 6
Coastal vibes with an indoor fireplace that makes this one as good in the shoulder season as it is in summer. Three bedrooms, two outdoor spaces, a hot tub, fire pit, and private dock on Round Lake.
Coral Cove: Lake House 3 — Sleeps 7
The most distinctive of the four — a fun, eccentric Caribbean vibe complete with a tiki bar. Three bedrooms, a hot tub, two outdoor spaces, fire pit, and private dock. Coral Cove is the one that gets talked about.
Moonlight Bay: Lake House 4 — Sleeps 6
The most serene of the four. Moonlight Bay features an indoor fireplace, a hot tub, a cold tub, two outdoor living spaces, and a private dock on Round Lake. For the group that wants to actually unwind.
What Is Stay, And Why Are These Properties on It?
Stay is the no-fee vacation rental marketplace co-founded by Scott McGillivray. Every property on Stay is listed by a professional host, and every booking is made directly with that host, with zero platform fees added at checkout.
On Airbnb or Vrbo, up to 15% of what you pay disappears into a platform fee before your host sees a dollar. On Stay, the price you see is the price you pay. Full stop. Hosts keep 100% of what their guests pay them, for a flat annual fee.
The Round Lake properties are listed on Stay because that’s exactly the kind of platform he built Stay to be, one that treats both the host and the guest fairly, without a middleman skimming the difference.
Own a Vacation Property? This Is the Platform Scott Built for You.
Renovation Resort is about what great vacation properties can become. Stay is where those properties belong once the renovation is done. Hosts pay a flat fee per property, and keep every dollar their guests pay.
No commission. No platform taking a percentage of your hard work forever.
Stay integrates with HostAway, Hostfully, OwnerRez, Lodgify, and many more leading PMS; so if you’re already managing properties professionally, getting listed takes minutes.
