Hey Friends and Fellow Hosts:
You may know that Rob and I are in the process of completing renovations at the Gullhouse to make it more accessible. I am so appreciative of the long hours that Rob has put in to create this new, more comfortable space for our guests and ultimately ourselves as we age. Some of you may also know that I sit on an advisory board for Becoming rentABLE who is taking on the daunting task of creating a platform for short term rental hosts to certify the acceptable accessible amenities of their listings. I'll have photos of our house to share soon, but first I want to share information on this free Summit where you can learn more about accessible travel, the pros and cons and about expanding your guest market. Sign up, you'll be glad that you did, and I'll see you there!
