自我介绍

I am a newly-exited teacher & coach, but am now living my dream of being an Airbnb host! This new road allows me to be a more present mom to my 2 children (and 5 dogs)! Dropping them off at school and picking them up again in the afternoon has become my new priority, something I never could do before. :) Previously while teaching, I also dove into finding homes with character and helping to make them cozy homes for others to enjoy, making me a "landlord," as well. Remodeling has become a fun hobby for me and is in my blood. I eventually moved from remodeling-to-rent into remodeling a couple of small cottages to share with others as short-term-rentals when I found my first airbnb property, my Cozy Cottage. It is the most adorable, 388-sq-ft gem, but it sure wasn't at first. The process of peeling away the layers, restoring everything we could, and getting it ready for guests was exciting and to now hear how they have enjoyed it, as well, is the most gratifying. Reading the guest book first thing when I arrive after a check-out is my favorite part ever (thank you for those notes)! I'm not a native Cedar Rapidian and enjoy traveling back home to the west coast (true Seattle girl and MAJOR Seahawk fan here), staying in Airbnbs with my family when we can. While doing so, I realized as I searched around Cedar Rapids that unique, cozy, Airbnb experiences are something that my current hometown lacks. I hope that I can bring that experience to travelers who come to visit us in Cedar Rapids, IA. If I could have 1 more Airbnb, I would have an old schoolhouse made into a cozy Airbnb. A girl can dream, right?! I just need some help finding that old schoolhouse. :) Thank you for supporting my small business and I encourage you to check us out on social media to follow along on my latest projects!
