Get RED-y Vacations is a woman-owned, mother–daughter run property management company, founded by Chris and Sara. Chris moved to the Finger Lakes for love. Sara arrived later, with no plans to stay. Then the lakes worked their magic: sunsets over the water, seasons that each feel like a whole new place, and small towns full of character. Before long, this wasn't just where they lived. It was home, and it's kept them here ever since.
It all started with Chris's own vacation homes. When COVID hit, travelers looked for getaways close to home with room to spread out, and Chris's homes were booked nearly every night. She was managing it all, and with so many moving parts, it was quickly more than one person could lead. So Sara quit her job to help. Side by side, they discovered how much they loved it: getting each home ready, welcoming every guest and hearing what a stay meant to them.
By 2021, they loved it too much to keep it to themselves. They began caring for other owners' homes, and Get RED-y Vacations was born. The name is a nod to those original homes, each with its red Adirondack chair, and to where it all began.
From day one, Chris set the standard: every home spotless, every detail considered and every guest cared for the way you'd want to be cared for yourself. As Get RED-y grew, that vision never changed. They grew slowly and with purpose, building the team and the process first and adding homes only when each one could get that same care. Today, Get RED-y cares for homes across the Finger Lakes, and every one is held to the standard Chris set in that very first home.
Chris and Sara love to travel, and they know what makes a stay great: spotless rooms, a bed you sink into, someone who answers on the first text, and little touches you didn't even know you needed until they were there. They were once the ones arriving from out of town, so they know what guests hope to find and what owners hope to hand off. They're always chasing that five-star stay, where everything you want is waiting before you even knew you wanted it. The message is simple: exceptional is the standard, whatever brings you here. A quick weekend away or a week-long celebration, every stay gets the same care, the same attention to detail and the same promise to go above and beyond.
Chris and Sara are the foundation, but it's the team that brings Get RED-y to life. Every day they turn houses into stays, from spotless kitchens and fresh linens to a quick fix before the next check-in, and there's always someone local to pick up when you call. They hold the standard high with real passion, and truly with a smile. That might be the most incredible part of all. It's the warmth you feel the moment you walk through the door, and it's what turns a great stay into one you'll want to come back to again and again.
