Hosting should feel like you.
Not like a property management company. Not like a algorithm. Like a genuine expression of who you are and what you love — the kind of hospitality that guests feel the moment they walk in the door.
In 2020, Airbnb asked me to mentor new hosts nationwide. I said yes because I believe short-term rental hosting, done right, is deeply fulfilling work — and too many hosts are building businesses that don't feel like theirs.
I offer custom solutions, not templates. Whether you need full-service co-hosting, a listing that finally sounds like you, a pricing strategy that actually works, or just someone who's been doing this long enough to know what matters — I'll meet you where you are and help you build something you're proud of.
My listings are crafted with an artist’s eye and a writer’s aplomb— and I sweat the details create calm, beautiful spaces. I bring that same intention to every host I work with.
I'm in this for the humans. Are you?
Consulting and Mentoring
Whether I'm building your listing from scratch or optimizing what you've got, you'll walk away with a listing that books more often and earns more per night.
Would it blow your mind if I said you don’t have to be on every platform? That you don’t need to partner with dozens of companies for add-ons and optimizations? That in the short term rental space, the corporate overlords are here to nickel-and-dime you, but you don’t have to play?
I'll show you how to use what makes YOUR property special—the things you love about it—to create genuine value for guests.
I use the things I love to add value to my Airbnb. Let’s figure out how to do that for yours.
Full-Service Management
Superior communication. Zero compromises on ethics, aesthetics, hospitality, or profitability. And unparalleled attention to your property—because my team and I genuinely love houses.
Hand over the keys (metaphorically) and relax—I'll handle the guests, the details, and the revenue optimization while you collect the checks.
Your property and guests are in expert hands.
Oh, and with my background as an English professor, painter, and ceramic artist? Your listing won't just be good. It'll pop.
Based in Nellysford, in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, and specializing in unique properties statewide.
No surprise fees. No surprise repairs or supply costs. A genuine, human relationship between host and co-host that centers hospitality and care for your home.
Let’s create a management package that feels right for you.
Properties that earn more, with no drama.
My secret weapon: I'm an elite Airbnb Superhost Ambassador and Airbnb Community Leader with insider knowledge of what actually works. Combined with my creative background, your property gets listings that don't just perform—they dominate in a tightening market.
I have an unfair advantage in the Airbnb market, and I want to put it to work for you.
“Elise is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and reliable. We have a large home that needs a lot of attention, and she is always one-step ahead, which I am so grateful for.
She has a real talent for making a home feel warm and welcoming, and she takes the time to add thoughtful details.
She is the reason my property has maintained Superhost status for so long, and she is also the reason my home had so many repeat guests over the years. ”
