Hey Erica!

Think your guests care about your sofa color or backsplash tile? They don’t. Not unless those choices help them have the experience they booked your property for.

In this episode, I’m giving you a behind the scenes look at a real design strategy session for a small Texas Hill Country rental. You’ll hear the exact design moves I recommend to turn this underperforming property into a premium listing. I'll share how to elevate small spaces, design outdoor areas that drive bookings, and use pet-friendly features to attract high-paying guests.

If you’ve ever wondered how I think through design decisions that protect both your investment and your nightly rate, this one’s for you.
