About Us
Your Hosts
NestWell Stays is a family-operated business founded by Betty and Brandon, a husband-and-wife team with deep roots in Oregon. Childhood sweethearts from the Oregon Coast, they have been married for 17 years and built their lives in Salem while serving in the Oregon National Guard. Brandon remains on active duty, while Betty, after over a decade of service, has shifted her focus to growing NestWell Stays into a hospitality brand that reflects their family’s values of sustainability, community, and exceptional guest experiences.
Hospitality runs in the family—Betty grew up in her grandmother’s bed & breakfast, where she developed a passion for creating welcoming spaces and meeting people from all walks of life. That same love of hospitality now fuels NestWell Stays, where she and Brandon have made it their mission to offer more than just a place to stay. They are dedicated to providing beautifully designed, eco-conscious rentals that feel like home while fostering a sense of connection with the surrounding community.
What makes NestWell Stays truly special is that it’s a full family effort. Their three children play an active role in the business, helping with cleaning, landscaping, administrative tasks, and guest services. Beyond just contributing to daily operations, they are learning invaluable lessons about responsibility, entrepreneurship, and what it means to live sustainably. For Betty and Brandon, NestWell Stays isn’t just about offering great rentals—it’s about creating a lifestyle that reflects their values and sharing it with others who appreciate mindful, intentional living.
Our Philosophy
NestWell Stays was founded on the belief that where you stay shapes how you live. We embrace a philosophy of mindful living, meaningful connections, and sustainable hospitality. Our homes are thoughtfully curated to offer a balance between comfort and conscious living, allowing our guests to recharge in a space that aligns with their values.
We believe that community matters, which is why we prioritize partnerships with local businesses, foster connections between guests and the surrounding area, and create spaces that inspire engagement with both nature and people. At the heart of our philosophy is a simple idea: a stay at NestWell Stays should enrich your life, not just accommodate it.
Our Specialities
NestWell Stays specializes in providing eco-conscious, fully furnished mid-term rentals that cater to professionals, families in transition, and individuals seeking a peaceful, high-quality living experience. Unlike traditional corporate housing or generic apartment rentals, our homes are located within Salem’s Pringle Creek Community, a thoughtfully designed, sustainability-focused neighborhood that fosters both tranquility and connection. We provide a personalized guest experience that ensures a smooth transition into each stay. Whether it’s through thoughtful touches, local recommendations, or curated experiences that connect guests with the best of Salem, we are committed to making every stay at NestWell Stays more than just a temporary arrangement—it’s an opportunity to feel truly at home.
