About Me
Hi! I’m Genéa.
I’m a property owner who has been living and hosting here in the High Desert since 2021. I've been using and hosting on Airbnb since 2013 (when it was mostly people couch surfing)!
I am a very hands-on, independent host and struggled finding the help I need without hiring a full co-host company when a situation comes up (like I need a vacation!). I've often wondered why I can't find a site where I can just book everything I need quickly and easily. Seeing a need for this in our High Desert market, I decided to take my entrepreneurial skills and venture more into property management and co-hosting.
I have a property in upper Yucca Valley (Flamingo Heights) and a property in Wonder Valley (29 Palms), so I understand the special needs and challenges of the High Desert market.
My two properties – The Filmmaker's House and The Writer's Cabin (currently off market due to wind blowing the roof off) – are places I created where artists could come and enjoy the quiet inspiration I do every day. I focus on providing items and tools where other creatives can take the time they need away from the rush of city life and perhaps gain a different perspective.
Or at least find some quiet!
I truly enjoy hosting and seem to have a knack for it. My properties average 4.98-stars (meaning they have only had one review less than 5-stars). I've studied the High Desert market at length and feel I've found successful hacks and pricing strategies that work. I am consistently booked over the market average with two properties that are non-luxury homes. (If you've been doing this for a while you know that's no small feat!)
Eventually I hope to add properties on this site from hosts who also focus on artistic rejuvenation. If you have a property that you think may fit the bill, please reach out.
I'm also working on building an online Shop of local items and treasures as well as practical services that guests may opt into for their stays.
I firmly believe in responsible capitalism where fairness and honesty is more important than making as much as I can off my clients. I think there is room for success for everyone and I will manage your property with the care and concern I afford my own.
I also believe in providing a fair wage to contractors.
I hope to have the opportunity to service you with goodness and grace. Please reach out with any questions or needs you might have on your hosting journey.
Or just say hi!
