Does your Airbnb have the delight factor? The most successful short-term rental (STR) hosts surprise their guests with unique hospitality experiences. They leverage the playful headspace we’re in when we travel to create quirky spaces that keep people coming back.
Amy Gilbert is the creator of Givingtree Hospitality, an STR property management firm out of Blue Mountain, Canada. An Airbnb host since 2011, Amy has a special talent for turning unlikely spaces into popular and profitable vacation rentals.
On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Amy joins me to explain how she creates unique hospitality experiences with quirky listings like the Lovable Karma Cabin and the Retro Airstream Glamping Retreat. She shares some of the delight factors that make her listings special and discusses how she pitches cohosting clients with the prospect of making more money—by working less! Listen in for Amy’s insight on running with your fun ideas and learn how to turn imperfections into features that guests will love.
