I appreciate you guys so much. You have shared so much valuable information. And I love watching your family doing all of this together. I am 66. I have had 26 acres paid for for over 10 years. I let Life get in the way for too long. Moving forward now. It’s never too late. I’m getting ready to launch. And you have helped me so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I’m so happy things are going well, we miss you! We’ll have to come visit in the summer to get away from AZ heat in August/September Love seeing the progress 😊 keep crushing it.
Thanks for posting! I love it when youtubers keep it real and share what its really like behind the scenes. Wishing you guys well and i'm glad you are back posting!
I am pretty bad at this but i hope you guys are celebrating the little wins. Buy a bottle of champagne when you break the record for your best month! I feel a 10k month coming for you guys next busy season. Can't wait for that!!!
Haha so true!! We actually told ourselves that we would celebrate every time we opened a new stay and we kind of did but it feels like as soon as we accomplish something we move right into the next item in the list. But there is a lot of truth in what to you said!
Thanks for this. So many hosts are posting hype videos with 90%+ occupancy year round and I just dont think that's a realistic expectation for most. Good to see some believable numbers and breakdowns for once.
@@buildfixflip I have 2-10x16 Amish sheds with lofts like yours, and I have 2 -13' Bell tents. My location has a 12x32 Mancave with full bathroom, cooking area, and home theatre with big screen and theatre reclining chairs. Outdoors I have a gazebo, large deck (I will enclose and screen), 2 fire pits, 40 acres of thick woods with hiking trails and streams, and a 12x28 gym. Upstate NY about 1 hr South on Montreal and 45 min from lake Placid
@@buildfixflip hey there. Question I have not seen mentioned in any videos that I have watched yet: "What is the extent of your interaction with folks when they rent for a weekend?" Do you do an initial, meet & greet, walk through, and that's it until they leave? As little interaction as possible for your privacy? A couple of my "set-ups" will be closer to my home than yours are, and I have a "community fire pit and grill set-up" that are visible from home. I am debating individual set-up with each Glamp site. Just curious:)
@@serenityfarmsprepping2267 it’s a mix. Sometimes I am around the property and most people say hello and like to chat for a little bit. If they are in the barn hanging out and I pull up I will go introduce myself and say hello and we tend to talk for a few minutes. I really like getting to meet them but for the most part people come and go and we never personally talk since we are not here full time. People do really like their privacy so if you can give them those amenities in a more private form I think people will appreciate it. And if you have the luxury to offer both i think that’s the way to go
I've been waiting for updates from you guys! I was looking forward to having a air bnb vlog channel and that's when I found your first few videos. We don't need another Robuilt so don't feel like you have to do all that he is doing. Just document what you've got going on and share it with us. I'll be here for it anyway and I'm sure a bunch if others would be too. You guys remind me a lot of Life Uncontained with am Air BNB twist.
oh thank you!! We have seen a lot of the Uncontained videos as well, thank you! and we have very different goals than robuilt so yeah we are going to keep it original to us. Thank you for your support, we cant wait to follow your Vlog! do you have unique stays? looking to start?
@@buildfixflip I wish! We own 10 acres in the Alaskan mountains and we want to do canvas tent glamping but our landlord won't allow it. Maybe someday we will find another way to pursing an alaskan glamping experience.
Very cool insight to your first year! I read some other comments and I agree with the sentiment that it is refreshing seeing down to earth content without so much flash editing.
yes very true. The math is different there because a business will have a lot of deductions most likely. In a w-2 you can safely assume 20% tax bracket for middle incomes... in a business it's much harder to do that unless you have a full year of expenses and can determine any other factors that will affect the taxes paid. But this is no different to someone saying they make $60k a year or $5k a month... that's pre tax. hardly ever will a 9-5 employee talk about their take home pay.
Thanks for sharing your numbers and it was good to connect with you earlier this week. Are you using a channel manager to avoid the double bookings that you mentioned? So far, your plan is very similar to mine in that the long term plan is to have the majority of bookings from my website. Keep up the good work.
Very helpful! We're thinking about doing a glamping in Florida but having issues related to zoning. So many restrictions everywhere and it's hard to find a a county where it's allowed.
we moved to North Carolina to Florida because of this reason, it worked out great for us we got our property and dome already. We wish you all the best.
Yeah that’s tough. We were looking northern Arizona before moving to TN and we were most likely going to have to do off grid set ups and they couldn’t be open year round so they wouldn’t be considered permanent structures
@@buildfixflip In FL I've had a hard time even finding anywhere for camping or RV/Airstream. Most counties don't allow either, even in rural areas. I haven't checked more northern parts of FL, mainly central and south FL because we wanted warmer climate
We now have 3 tiny homes open year round. 2 dome tents that open from mid April to end of October. And next week we are going live with the main home at the property. So things should look quite different this year
That’s great to hear. For some reason I think we tried to get into hip camp and we weren’t able to but I don’t remember why? Would you like to see if there is an affiliate link you can send me so I can try and sign up again?

Thank you Cheryl!

Been following your story. Would love another update on all of this in 2024
We are on it!
Honest and open and upfront! How refreshing. You will have continued success . Can't wait to get my going this Spring. Same buildings. lol
That's awesome!!! Are you doing DIY builds with sheds? and we may have asked before, but what location?

Great video! I have been running my glamping since ‘21 and you are on point.
Awesome! Thank you! Glad we can help! We would love to hear about your glampsite! What structures do you have and how has it been going? :)
Great update video there eh! Thanks for sharing all the #'s
more numbers coming out soon as we beat our record this fall

We are shopping for PMS right now. We did use one in the past (Lodgify) and it was a nightmare.

@@NaturesNear Do you mean to NC from FL? Or vice versa? Most of the local jurisdictions in FL are very picky, even with an airstream

2700$ for 1 Airbnb ? Or how many you have ? Thx
We now have 3 tiny homes open year round. 2 dome tents that open from mid April to end of October. And next week we are going live with the main home at the property. So things should look quite different this year
The $2,700 was when we only had 1 tiny home open over low season a year ago
Waw awesome, really nice to hear that. I'm in south of France, I wonder if I could have thèse numbers there 😁
I get more bookings for my glamp sites on Hipcamp, moreso than Vrbo or Air, Dyrt & Hipcamp might be good platforms for y'all to join.
That’s great to hear. For some reason I think we tried to get into hip camp and we weren’t able to but I don’t remember why? Would you like to see if there is an affiliate link you can send me so I can try and sign up again?
Great video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
