The Proven Path to Stress-Free STR Success
With 20 years expertise in Short term rentals, I can confidently say that it can be incredibly lucrative and a ton of fun, but it can also quickly overwhelm your life & creates massive liability that most hosts don’t protect themselves from.
Many hosts start out thinking “this will be fun and easy” and quickly find themselves overwhelmed or disillusioned with lack of bookings, difficult guests, damages or all of the moving parts of hosting. I want to help you avoid the same mistakes I made by sharing my systems and formulas developed over 20 years of hosting that protect your investments, optimize bookings, avoid nightmare guests and create more ease in hosting.
Let me show you how!

“Marilynn is a true veteran in the short term rental space. There is so much knowledge and experience packed into her Stress-free Host Mentorship. You can tell she come from a place of love and wants to share what she know with everyone. I signed up for this course shortly after closing on our first rental. We went off to the races with a short two month goal of getting it up and running. I am almost there and don’t think I could have done it without Marilynn in my corner. Totally worth it!” – Jessica F.
“The Stress Free Host Mentorship is just that, stress free! I have gained so many tools to organize my business efficiently that I now feel I can work ON my business instead of IN it every day. Marilynn is a terrific teacher, mentor and coach and she truly cares about each of her students and wants them to succeed. I have taken short term rental classes in the past, and was left with questions. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking to start a short term rental or looking to scale a business properly.

About Marilynn
I am a licensed real estate investor and 20 year short term rental veteran, and an HGTV featured interior designer. Over the years I have self managed 7 short term rentals and have grown our net worth to over $2.3 million using smart money habits with a side hustle in real estate and other investing. Now I specialize in a guest focused, stress-free short term rental strategy that uses real estate investing fundamentals first, to ensure that each investment is a good one, and built in protections that
Over the years, I have become an expert in guest experience + hospitality, wowing my guests for a 5 star review even when things don’t go perfectly. My short term rentals are a way for me to pour my love and care in to other humans and it is incredibly rewarding.
Hosting also comes with a lot of responsibility and personal liability that most hosts never think about and often they put too much faith in the listing platforms to protect them. I apply both legal and business strategies that build in protection for the host, while simultaneously building guest vetting & relationship building in to your entire automated process from listing to finalized booking.
I’m forever a student and stay on top of latest tax and legal strategies. I have the combined skills to help your listings stand out from the competition, secure more bookings and systems that help you host with more peace and joy.
There is no substitute for actual experience.

They were very positive, interesting, and it felt like a friend helping us to set up our tiny house for hosting in the best way. Also, each module was loaded with very practical and useful information that will help us not only improve our hosting and listed property, but also avoid common mistakes, some of which could be devastating, when hosting any property.
