Hi! We’re Dustin & Jasmine! We design & host beautiful vacation homes where unforgettable memories are made. Own a property?

We offer expert co-hosting so you can boost profits & enjoy passive income, we do the work, you collect the checks. 🌍 We’re a travel-loving family of six with a passion for exploring the world together!

✨ Some of our favorite adventures have taken us to the breathtaking Cinque Terre, Italy, and the stunning landscapes of Scotland. We’ve explored destinations across North America, Central America, and Europe, and dream of visiting Israel, Thailand, and Zimbabwe someday.

🌿 Our travel style is all about immersing ourselves in local culture—doing what the locals do and savoring their cuisine. Whether it’s relaxing on the beach, snorkeling, hiking, biking, or horseback riding, we thrive on outdoor adventures. History and culture are always highlights of our journeys!

🏡 As a family, we know what it’s like to travel and host with families in mind. That’s why we’re passionate about creating spaces that are comfortable, welcoming, and designed for making unforgettable memories.

Is hiring a co-host worth it if you only own one vacation rental?

It’s a question worth asking, especially if you’re currently managing everything yourself.

Here are three things we’d consider before making that decision:
1. Your time.
How much time are you spending managing guest communication, coordinating cleaners, handling maintenance, and keeping everything running smoothly? And what is that time worth to you?

2. Your revenue.
Are you actively managing your pricing, monitoring market trends, and making adjustments throughout the year? A good co-host should be looking for opportunities to improve your property’s performance, not simply managing reservations.

3. Your guest experience.
Do you have reliable local teams, systems, and processes in place to consistently deliver a great guest experience? Those details matter when it comes to protecting your reviews and encouraging repeat bookings.

We own and remotely manage three vacation rentals, including the Rustic Ruby in the Blue Ridge area. We’ve learned that successful property management requires much more than getting bookings on the calendar.

So, is hiring a co-host worth it?

That depends on your goals, your time, and whether the value they bring justifies their fee.

If you’re doing well managing your own property, that’s great! But if you’re ready to get some of your time back while having a dedicated team focused on your property’s success, it might be worth exploring.

DM OWNER and we’ll send you our Revenue Gap Roadmap.

A quiet mountain home near Asheville, NC, for groups who’d rather slow down than squeeze in one more stop.

Big group trips can turn into a lot of planning. Who’s driving, where you’re eating, what time everyone needs to be ready. At The Lily Pad, the plan can be nothing at all. Six bedrooms means everyone gets their own space, and the shared spaces are where people end up anyway.

Downtown Asheville is about 15 minutes away for the nights you want to go out. The rest of the time, there’s no reason to leave.

Sleeps 14. Book direct through the link in our bio for the best rate.

📍 The Lily Pad | Leicester, NC (near Asheville)

Short-term rental lessons from Inner Circle, written down before they get buried under the to-do list.

I filled more pages than I’d like to admit. Most of it is tactical, the kind of thing we’ll be working through for months. But the ideas in this carousel are the ones I kept thinking about on the way home.

The repeat guest one got me. We put so much energy into reaching new people that it’s easy to forget the families and couples who already stayed with us and said they’d be back. That one is getting a lot of thought this week.

If you own a vacation rental, or you’re thinking about getting into one, which of these would you put at the top of your list?

Airbnb's new rules vs. a mountain full of bears. 🐻

Starting with bookings made on or after November 20, Airbnb says hosts generally can't ask guests to take trash off-site. Sounds reasonable, until your home sits on the side of a mountain in Massanutten.

Here's our reality at Evergreen Retreat:
🚫 The HOA doesn't allow trash outside, not even on a deck, because of bears and wildlife
🚫 There's no curbside pickup, only community dumpsters on the way out of the resort
🚫 Our garage is now a home theater, there's no basement, and the yard is a hillside

For years, guests have dropped their trash at those dumpsters as they leave. It's kept the bears out of the neighborhood and the home spotless. ✨

The good news: Airbnb's policy says local factors matter, and bear country is one of its own examples. No guarantees, so here's how we're preparing:
✔️ Rewriting our request so guests understand exactly why we ask
✔️ Keeping our HOA rules and documentation ready in case Airbnb questions it
✔️ Building a backup plan with our cleaning team, so the property and the wildlife are protected either way

Know the rules. Know your market. Have a plan before the deadline.

Own a rental and want a co-host who sweats these details so you don't have to? Send us a message. 📩

Hosts, how are you handling the new policy where you are? 👇

A little behind the scenes of what we were up to this past weekend! ✈️

Dustin and I headed to Nashville for our Inner Circle meeting, where we spent a couple of days learning from some incredible people in the short-term rental industry, exchanging ideas, and challenging ourselves to think bigger.

Even though we own and manage three vacation rentals, we’re always looking for ways to improve what we’re doing.

One of my biggest takeaways from the weekend was that growth isn’t just about adding more properties. It’s about building better systems, surrounding yourself with the right people, and continuing to improve the guest experience.

We came home with pages of notes, fresh ideas, and a long list of things we’re excited to implement!

One thing we’ve learned through this journey is that there’s always something new to learn, and being surrounded by people who challenge you to grow is invaluable.

Excited to put some of these ideas into action at Reservable Stays!

Check out our next post for our takeaways in this Inner Circle meeting 👀

Some trips are less about where you go and more about who gets to be there with you. 🤍

From setting up the perfect family game night to sharing meals around the table and making memories in between — this is what a stay together should feel like.

A space where everyone can settle in, reconnect, and actually enjoy being together.

Because the best vacation memories usually happen in the moments you didn’t plan.

✨ Save this for your next family getaway.

The best family trips are the ones where nobody has to go anywhere.

Evergreen Retreat was very intentional about giving every generation something to love under one roof, the movie theater for the kids, the sauna for the grandparents, the space for everyone in between. Four generations, one house, and plenty of room for all of it.

Save this for the next time the whole family is trying to pick a place. Availability and rates are in our bio.

Who would you bring? Tag them. 👇

Save this for your next trip, and don’t forget to tag your adventure crew! 🏔️✨

Anyone can fill a summer weekend. The real test is what your home earns in February.

Off-season is where a lot of rentals quietly lose money, sitting empty while the calendar coasts.

Keeping a home booked year-round takes active pricing, the right positioning, and knowing who’s actually traveling when everyone else assumes no one is. We manage every property with all twelve months in mind, not just the easy ones.

Wondering what your off-season could look like?

DM us “OWNER” or inquire via the link in our bio.
