Founder of Recreation Stays | 25 Years in Luxury Hospitality

Great stays aren’t built on luck. They’re built on structure. After two+ decades running five-star hotels, I learned that consistency, not charisma, is what drives reviews, revenue, and reputation. I’m here to help you build the same systems top hoteliers use, tailored for short-term rentals.

Hospitality Isn’t Magic. It’s a System.

Run Your Vacation Rental Like a
Five-Star Hotel

Frameworks and playbooks from 25 years in luxury hospitality.

Upcoming events

  • Seattle STR + Boutique Hospitality Meetup

    December 4, 5:30 to 7:30 PM
    CitizenM Hotel, South Lake Union – Lobby

    This meetup is for operators who want clarity, practical insight, and a place to compare notes with people facing the same market conditions. If you run a short term rental, manage a portfolio, or operate a boutique property in the Seattle area, this is a useful session to attend.

    For December, we’re taking a focused approach. Winter is when margins tighten, demand gets uneven, and small operational gaps become visible.

    The goal of this meetup is to give you one or two improvements you can implement before the end of the year.

    What we’ll cover

    • Current performance patterns in the Seattle market

    • Tactics hosts are using to stabilize winter occupancy

    • How operators are approaching pricing, pacing, and minimum stays

    • Practical midterm strategies that are working right now

    • A short workshop to identify one conversion leak in a specific listing and outline a fix you can apply within 48 hours

    Why this session matters

    January’s event at the Airbnb office will go deep into policy, listing quality, and platform expectations. December is the step before that. It’s a chance to tighten your listings, sharpen your approach, and make sure you’re positioned to get the most out of that session.

    The environment is casual. The structure is deliberate. You’ll leave with clear next steps and a better understanding of how other operators are navigating the winter market.

    If refining your listings, improving performance, and connecting with serious operators is important to you, this is a good meeting to attend.
