Hi, I'm Paula. My family has owned a home in The Galena Territory for over a decade. They had always wanted to offer it as a vacation rental when they weren't using it but didn't know where to start, or who to ask for help. I started The Happy Host to help people who want to turn their investment property or part-time residence into an income-generating vacation rental home that gets 5-star reviews.

In addition to working for 15 years as a household manager on Chicago’s North Shore, I own and manage my own vacation rental home and I've been awarded Airbnb’s coveted “Super Host” status every quarter that I've been hosting. I know first-hand how much time and money it takes to get a successful vacation rental off the ground. From initial set-up to day-to-day operations – it is a daunting task. Reinforcements have arrived. I will take care of every detail so you don't have to worry about a thing.

If you want to generate income from your home without all of the hassle that goes along with it, I'm here to help!
