Our Story

Why we started Hub City Stays

Hub City Stays was founded on a simple observation: Lubbock has a growing demand for quality short-term accommodations — from Texas Tech families and visiting professionals to corporate travelers and event guests — but the supply of well-managed, guest-ready properties hasn't kept pace.

We bridge that gap. By sub-leasing residential properties from local owners and operating them as premium short-term rentals on Airbnb and VRBO, we create a win on every side: owners earn guaranteed monthly income without lifting a finger, guests enjoy a home-like experience at a competitive price, and the Lubbock community benefits from elevated hospitality standards.

Our team handles everything from furnishing and photography to guest vetting, cleaning, and 24/7 support — so owners never have to worry, and guests always feel at home.

Our Mission

Redefining short-term rentals in West Texas

"To provide property owners with a stress-free, guaranteed income solution while delivering exceptional guest experiences that make Lubbock a destination worth returning to."

What We Stand For

Our core values

Integrity First

We operate with full transparency — owners know exactly what to expect, and guests know exactly what they're getting.

Local Expertise

We know Lubbock's neighborhoods, demand patterns, and seasonal rhythms better than any out-of-state operator.

Owner-Centric

Every decision we make is designed to protect and grow the value of the properties entrusted to us.

Guest Excellence

Five-star reviews aren't a goal — they're a standard. We invest in every detail that makes a stay memorable.

How We Operate

The sub-lease model, explained

Unlike traditional property management, we don't charge owners a percentage of revenue. We sign a direct sub-lease agreement, pay a fixed monthly rent, and take on full operational responsibility. Owners get predictable income. We earn our margin by maximizing occupancy.
