"This was probably the best well-thought out airbnb we’ve ever been to, everything was set up to make you comfortable and the place was really clean. Great location and beautiful surroundings."
Georgia
Sheila had everything and more for us. She couldn’t have been more hospitable and understanding of our late check in time. I’d recommend without hesitation. She also helped tremendously with Yellowstone recs. if there was a shortlist for the best airbnb host Sheila would surely win it.
Natesan
Probably the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in! Sheila ensures that the guests have the best possible experience and that the house and room are extremely well maintained. Would definitely recommend this location to folks who are visiting Yellowstone.
Frequently Asked Questions
“Everything you need to know before you host, scale, or stay your way into a seasonal lifestyle.”
“What makes your Playbook different from other vacation rental guides?”
Most guides are written by marketers. This Playbook was built by a real host, running a real B&B, in one of the busiest seasonal markets in the U.S. Every tool inside is something I’ve tested, tweaked, and still use today to run my own five-star property. This isn’t theory. It’s what works.
“I don’t have a property yet—should I still get the Playbook?”
Yes. The Playbook was designed to help you think and act like a host before you own. From identifying a viable property to avoiding rookie mistakes during setup, it gives you a launch plan with fewer headaches and more bookings from Day 1.
“What’s the difference between the Playbook and the Empowering Entrepreneurs Course?”
The Playbook helps you launch. The Course helps you scale. The Playbook is a step-by-step system to get your first property up and running. The Course dives deeper into business strategy, boundaries, seasonal planning, and turning hosting into a sustainable lifestyle—not just a hustle.
“How do I know your strategies work?”
You can stay inside the strategy. The Chicory House, my own B&B, runs on the exact methods I teach. From guest experience to pricing, what you’ll learn in my programs is visible in every stay. It’s not just proof—it’s a live demonstration.
“Is this course only for Airbnb hosts?”
No. The tools apply across vacation rental platforms—or even your own direct booking site. Whether you’re using Airbnb, VRBO, or building a unique experience like my B&B, the core systems work across all of them.
“Do I need experience in business or hospitality to succeed with this?”
Absolutely not. I built my hosting business with no degree, no funding, and no formal hospitality background—just grit, systems, and seasonal experience. If you’re coachable and ready to work smart, this is built for you.
