Now's your opportunity to walk the
Blue Ridge Collection in person, before you invest
We're taking 10 accredited investors through Willow Falls and The Ellijay Resort. Both are bought, titled, and generating revenue right now.
The biggest risk in any deal is the operator. A pitch deck can't help you vet one.
Most funds show you a pitch deck and send you on your way. You get renderings, projections, and a Zoom call, but you never stand on the property or meet the people running it.
On May 30, we do the opposite. We walk both properties with you, show you what's been renovated and what hasn't, and put you in front of the team that runs them.
When you invest in a deal like this, you're betting on the property and the operator both. The operator bet is the one a pitch deck can't answer, so we're not asking you to take it on faith.
Who you'll be vetting on May 30
Since the operator is the bet that decides the deal, that's where the day starts.
Blake Dailey and the StayVest team. Eight boutique hotel properties acquired, four already exited. Operations run in-house, so the same team that acquires a property also renovates it and runs it day to day, with full transparency. Blake puts his own capital in every deal StayVest does.
You don't have to take any of that from a video. The day is built so you can test it in person, before you ever look hard at the numbers.
The portfolio behind the offering
Before you walk the current deal, here's what the team has already acquired, run, and exited.
Six boutique hotels acquired before this offering. Four exited, two still held, and operations run in-house across all of them.
The two properties you'll walk
We could describe these in a slide deck. We'd rather you stand in them. Click either property to see it up close.

The Blue Ridge Collection
We put the numbers in front of you now, on purpose. You should arrive already knowing the deal, so the day is about verifying it, not hearing it cold.
Two boutique resort properties in Blue Ridge, Georgia. $6.8M in properties acquired, $2.4M under combined asking, with seller financing on both. Run together, they share costs, systems, and talent across both sites. Four revenue streams per property: rooms, food and beverage, events, and memberships.
Ninety minutes from Atlanta, in the heart of the mountains. A popular destination wedding market with limited competition, fed year-round by the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, national parks, and lakefront attractions.
Both properties are underutilized today. The plan adds pickleball courts, pool cabanas, expanded event space, wellness facilities, and a group-buyout model on top of what's already operating.
- 17%+ targeted IRR
- 13%+ projected cash-on-cash starting Year 2
- 2.4x targeted equity multiple
- 2 to 7 year hold
- $100K minimum investment
- $5M raise, 506(c) syndication
See The Ellijay Resort, rendered
Square footage and unit counts don't tell you what a property feels like.
So we had The Ellijay Resort rendered, top to bottom: the lodge on the 10th hole, the pool and deck, the grounds, and the way all 15 rooms come together as one property. It's the closest look at the asset you'll get without standing on it.
On May 30, you stand on it. You walk the rooms and the grounds, and you put your questions to the team that runs it.
What the day looks like
The day is built so you're not sitting through a presentation. Two property tours, real conversation, and lunch with the team.
Blue Ridge is about 90 minutes from Atlanta and two hours from Chattanooga. Drive up Saturday morning, be home by dinner.
Who this is for
We cap the group at 10 because a real conversation doesn't happen in a crowd. This is who the room is for.

Questions, answered
What does it cost?
$59 per seat, booked through Eventbrite. That covers welcome coffee, both property tours, and lunch with the operating team. Your travel to Blue Ridge is on you.
Do I have to invest?
No. The tour carries no commitment. Verification of accredited status is required before any investment is ever considered, but that's separate from showing up on May 30.
What happens after the tour?
If the deal's a fit, the next step is a one-on-one to walk the PPM and the full financials. If it's not, you'll leave with a sharper framework for evaluating any fund. Either way, the decision and the timeline stay yours.
What if I can't make the date?
Registration includes a refund window up to 7 days before the event. If May 30 doesn't work, reach out and we'll talk about a future walkthrough.
How many people will be there?
The group is capped at 10 accredited investors so there's time for real conversation, not a crowd.
What should I bring?
Your questions. Break-even occupancy, the renovation budget, how overages are handled, references from current investors. Bring all of it.
10 seats. One Saturday. Both properties.
