Welcome to StayBC
British Columbia isn't just a destination.
It's an experience.
A great trip is about more than where you stay — it's about the people you meet, the food you enjoy, the places you discover, and the memories you take home.
StayBC connects travellers with local restaurants, shops, attractions, activities, and hidden gems that make each British Columbia community unique.
We invite you to become a StayBC Partner. Your business can be part of what turns a visitor's trip into an unforgettable experience. A wonderful meal, a friendly welcome, a unique attraction, or a memorable local experience can leave visitors with an even greater love and appreciation for British Columbia — and a reason to return.
Together, we can encourage visitors to stay longer, explore more, support local, and fall in love with BC.
Join the StayBC family and help us show the world what makes British Columbia so special.

Why Book Independent?
Skip the chains. Stay somewhere real.
Independent motels aren't just cheaper — they're better. Here's why travellers who know BC always go independent.
Real owners, real care
You're not dealing with a call centre. Independent motel owners live and work in the communities they serve — and it shows.
Local knowledge included
Ask the owner where to fish, eat, or hike and you'll get a real answer — not a TripAdvisor link. That's the independent difference.
Your money stays in BC
Every dollar you spend at an independent motel stays in the community — supporting local families, not distant shareholders.
Unique character, every time
No two independent motels are the same. From lakefront cabins to mountain lodges, you get a place with a story — not a room number.
Pet friendly, people friendly
Independent owners are far more likely to welcome your dog, accommodate your schedule, and treat you like a guest — not a booking ID.
