I've been an Airbnb Superhost and Property Manager for more than 14 years, and I know my way around cleaning supplies that get rave reviews from guests. The following products are the things I can't live without-- they live in my car, and sometimes feel like a third hand. They make life as a host so much easier!

You don't need to buy all-new items for a short-term rental, but you do need some new things, like linens and clean cookware. And individually wrapped TP and eco-saavy products go a long way to getting 5-star reviews from guests!

Starting your short term rental can feel overwhelming— I’ve been hosting for 14 years, and these are some of my go-to products to make hosting easier and my guests happier! These essentials will help you start out strong. And don't forget to sign up for free mentoring through the Airbnb Host ambassador program! Link below.

Nelson County is one of Virginia's hidden gems, and our home. We love welcoming visitors to our guest cottage, and guiding them to all the wonderful local business the county has. It's easy to spend a week exploring this tremendously beautiful county!
