Lisa Stewart Eriks,
Airbnb Ambassador & STR Consultant
A little background...
My husband and I love to travel and experience new cities and outdoor adventures. We road cycle, hike, golf and we have six adult children that we visit as often as possible in six different cities. When we travel we enjoy staying in Airbnb listings around the US and the world - taking in live music, local restaurants and different cultural experiences. This enriches our exposure to other Short Term Rentals and helps us create new experiences for our amazing guests at our own properties.
​
We purchased our first STR in Asheville, NC in 2018 and listed it on Airbnb hoping to defray college expenses and cover the cost of a vacation home. To our amazement our STR business took on a vibrant life of its own and we were bringing in revenue well beyond our original goals. We decided to take on two more properties in Nashville, TN in late 2019. These subsequent projects were not as straightforward as the first, due to the pandemic. We pivoted several times to find the right marketing strategy. As it turns out, time and experience are excellent teachers and our Nashville properties are now thriving - one as an STR and one as an LTR. We have recently added an STR to our family of listings in our hometown of Louisville, KY and we plan to bring on a fourth STR listing in Holland, MI in the summer of 2021. Obviously, we love this business... and we think you will too!
Taking my experience to others and supporting the STR community are the goals of my second phase of this adventure. I came on board as an Airbnb Ambassador in 2021 and have incorporated this program into my portfolio of offerings. I am devoted to my passion of hosting, consulting, educating and advocating for the STR industry. As an experienced Superhost, marketing professional, entrepreneur and property manager, I welcome the opportunity to assist you with the launch and development of your STR. I’d like to share trade secrets that will help you reach your goals more quickly in this growing industry. Together we can bring comfort, responsible hosting, exceptional experiences and superb hospitality to countless guests who say “Host Me”.
