Stand Out from the Crowd

I first became an Airbnb host with an abandoned trailer. I turned it into a stylish, buzzy destination and became a Superhost. And I was soon able to demolish it to build a premium space.

Airbnb chose me as one of fifty hosts nationwide— their first “Superhost Ambassadors”— to mentor and onboard new hosts, and I’ve helped more than 800 hosts create their Airbnb listings with a 100% satisfaction rate. Successful hosting means making your guests feel valued through every step of their experience. 

As the ten-year leading Airbnb Superhost in my region, I bring a powerful boost to my clients’ search rankings and as a Virginia Airbnb Community Leader, I’m part of an elite group of hosts with an inside track to company information.

I know how to create a premium space to differentiate your property in the market, how to stock it stylishly on a budget, and how to maximize profits without ethical or aesthetic compromises. I can make your Airbnb a luxury destination without a premium cost to you. 

Your Airbnb listing will be branded with a Superhost badge immediately if I am your co-host, helping to boost your listing in searches. I work with transparency, you can see all of my communications with your guests, automated messages, and listing details.  More importantly, you own your listing and photos and your reviews stay with your account. 

I bring my Superhost Ambassador level of Airbnb dedicated customer support to your listing, with access to company services that few hosts have. 

If a guest damages your property, you’ll have my know-how, connections, and intimate understanding of Airbnb’s in-house insurance program, Air-Cover, to properly complete your claim. But generally, expect hosting with me to be smooth sailing and consistently profitable.

Host With Elise

I only accept a few clients each year, because I want to give them the same level of dedication that I lavish on my own property.

It’s important that my clients understand the value of superior communication and kindness to guests, of creative differentiation of their listing, and of the value of hosting without sacrificing ethics, aesthetics, or profitability.

My background as an English professor, editor, and artist have given me a unique position in the market. I approach my listing as set-dressing. (I grew up backstage, and have worked with designers and set decorators.)

My position as an Airbnb Superhost Ambassador, Community Leader, and Airbnb “insider” gives your listing an unfair advantage in a tightening market.

I have been focused on my home region of Central Virginia, but I am open to unique properties statewide.

Services

I I provide top-tier, complete, hands-on co-hosting that will maximize the profitability of your property. Unlike most Property Managers, cleaning is NOT included my co-hosting fee.

I also offer complete decorating services for your short term rental. Through my deep connections to the local design and maker community, resale markets, and brand partnerships, I can make your space a one-of-a-kind, authentic experience, on your budget.

Concierge service is included in my co-hosting. If your guests need champagne waiting for them, an in-house massage, or directions to the best spots to go tubing on the river, I’ll handle it. Meeting workers? I’m on it. Seasonal landscaping? I can make that happen.

I can make your listing “shoppable” so you earn from guests inspired by your listing’s design chops. My partnerships with major design brands making furnishing and styling your listing a pleasure— not a hassle.
