I know what it feels like to want to take direct bookings but not know where to start.
Only a few years ago I was right where you are...
Just like you, I wanted to increase my bookings without feeling controlled by the OTA's.
Back in 2014, when I bought our first vacation rental in the Canadian Rockies, hosting was simple — no gurus, no hype, just owners figuring things out. But as the industry grew, I kept hitting the same problems: shifting algorithms, higher fees, unfair refunds, disappearing guest info… even one 4-star review that tanked my visibility overnight.
I went searching for tools and strategies that would give me more control—and more bookings.
When I couldn’t find a clear path forward, I created it. That became The Profitable Host Method — a simple, practical framework that helps hosts grow beyond Airbnb with smarter pricing that increases profits, guest messaging that drives repeat stays, and simple marketing that brings in more direct bookings.
10 years later...
Over 50% of my bookings are direct, repeat guests grow every season, and I run a multi–six-figure STR business on my terms. Now I help hosts do the same: take control, increase profits, and build a business that doesn’t break every time Airbnb changes the rules.
I believe that...
Anyone can take direct bookings and run their STR their way.
And I’ve spent the last ten years hosting an helping hundreds of hosts, just like you, boost their direct bookings and their profits.
HOST WINS
I've been hosting since 2014—long before vacation rentals were cool!
I’ve seen the industry shift a lot in 10 years - now algorithms rule the roost and one policy change, bad review or unfair refund can impact your bookings and your profits overnight.
It wasn’t until I decided enough was enough and stopped treating my properties like just another “Airbnb”that everything shifted. Because I knew there had to be a better way — and all it took was finally taking action.
I implemented the right tools, refined my pricing, leveraged guest-messaging, and created a direct booking website.
Now, 50% of my bookings are direct. Repeat stays grow every season. And I have more say over my STR — while earning thousands more in profit — without relying solely on any one platform.
That transformation is what inspired me to help other hosts move beyond Airbnb, earn more, and stop depending on platforms that don’t play fair.
Here's the truth: Airbnb will always keep changing the rules. But there’s no reason you should keep guessing or spinning your wheels when there’s already a clear, step-by-step roadmap to help you grow a vacation rental business that actually works for you.
If you’re ready to fast-track your STR growth — I’m here to help you stop reacting and start leading with confidence.
Words from hosts
“The Next Level Host program was an absolute lifesaver! Jennifer’s guidance was so valuable that it’s already paying off—I added an extra night to a booking using her upsell tip…so this is already paying off for me! I honestly don’t know how I would have figured out and improved all my messaging without her. If you’re on the fence, I can confidently say Next Level Host is worth it!”
– Jennifer Perry, Owner of Primrose Properties, Wichita, Kansas
“Being part of The Next Level Host has been a game-changer for my vacation rental business. Jennifer’s expertise is unmatched. The weekly calls provide personalized support, and her insights, along with the private message channel and community, have made a big impact.
