Hosting Insights

Articles for experienced and aspiring furnished rental hosts in the

midterm corporate housing industry.

"People will forget what you said. They will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel."

-Maya Angelou

My exposure to living in different cultures with an extremely extroverted husband has moved my natural level introversion from the I to the E side by force. Hosting in your own culture is one thing. Hosting in another requires a completely different level of listening. We made a lot of friends just by listening - listening to their stories and learning about their cultures without imposing our own or even making the comparison a part

of the conversation.

On our ten year wedding anniversary we gave "glamping" a try and it won us over tenfold. One year later in the Santa Cruz Mountains, GlampL& (Glampland) was born and we achieved Superhost status

with our first assessment.

Life changed for us and we chose to move to Portland in 2020. We found a way, despite the insanity of the Covid-19 pandemic, to continue to employ our gift of hospitality by opening The Fireside Suite - a cozy 2 bedroom fireside stay convenient to all things Portland.
