If you're here, you likely believe that hosting is more than keys, codes, and clean sheets. This community exists for owner-operators who personally care about the guest experience — from the way a space feels when someone walks in, to how a stay is remembered long after checkout. This is not a place for shortcuts, growth hacks, or "scale at all costs." It's a place for hosts who take pride in what they've built — and want to keep raising the bar. Start here: introduce yourself. Before you jump into discussions, take 2 minutes to post an intro (required). This is what makes this community feel different — we actually know each other here. Use the pinned New Member Intro Template (copy text and make a new post). Tell us: - Your name and where you host - What makes your property or experience stand out - One thing you're working to improve right now - What you're hoping to take away from this community _________________________________________________________________________________ This community is for you if... - You owner-operate one or two thoughtfully run properties - You believe hospitality is a craft worth mastering - You want better guests — not necessarily more guests - You're drawn to experience-based hosting: stays people actually talk about If you're focused on arbitrage, scaling to 10+ units, or set-it-and-forget-it management, there are great communities for that. This isn't one of them — and that's intentional. ________________________________________________________________________________ Free members get: access to the community and the PMS comparison guide.

PMS software demos Video walkthroughs of the tools serious hosts actually use — OwnerRez, Guesty, Lodgify, Hostaway, Pricelabs, etc. and more — so you can make confident decisions on how to run your hospitality business and own more of it by moving away from dependence on platforms (airbnb/vrbo).

Welcome! Please copy the prompts below and paste them in a NEW post under the NEW MEMBER INTROS tag. DON"T POST YOUR ANSWERS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW. Please answer thoughtfully. Short is fine—intentional is better. 1. Your name & where you host or will be hosting (Region/city and state/country is perfect—no need to share exact location) 2. Your place in a sentence or two. What makes it yours? (Age of the home, setting, story, or experience you’re creating) 3. Owner-occupied or owner-operated? How hands-on are you with your guests and the space? 4. How long you’ve been hosting? New, growing, or seasoned—all are welcome here. 5. What part of the guest experience you care most about (Arrival, comfort, food, design, communication, privacy, moments of delight, etc.) 6. Do you offer any "experienced- based", optional add-ons that set your listing apart from others (cooking classes, private chef, barista, tours of the city, art classes, etc.)? 7. What you’re currently refining or questioning? One specific thing you want to improve or think more deeply about. 7. What “unforgettable hospitality” means to you? There’s no right answer—this helps us understand your point of view.
