NOT YOUR AVERAGE AIRBNB
Interview w/Kelsey Duda, Northern Michigan Airbnb Owner
THE BUSINESS LIFE EPISODE #56
When Lauren and I travelled to Northern Michigan for an anniversary getaway, the scenery was beautiful and there was so much to do! What made the trip, though, was the Airbnb we rented from my guest on the podcast today, Kelsey. Kelsey has found a niche running successful luxury Airbnbs, and in this episode, she talks all about the ins and outs of what it takes to do it. Listen in and be sure to follow along with Kelsey’s newest Airbnb, Fernhaus (see listing), on Instagram (@_fernhaus)
