'Heart Stay' guest
"This is the first time I've felt like a person instead of a patient in over a year."
'Woodland Lodge' guest
"Debbie's vacation properties in Hocking Hills are so much more than just beautiful places to stay; they're a reflection of her heart, values, and deep love for her community. Every detail of the experience feels intentional, welcoming, and grounded in integrity. It's clear that her business isn't just about hospitality, it's about connection."
💛 Our Why
Hospitality is more than a place to stay, it’s an opportunity to create connection, generosity, and impact. We believe short-term rentals can be powerful platforms for good, turning everyday bookings into moments that matter for guests, hosts, and communities.
By integrating giving back into hosting through 'Hosting with Heart' & 'The Impact Circle' we:
-
Stand out in a crowded market with an authentic purpose that attracts loyal guests
-
Build deeper connections that lead to repeat bookings and word-of-mouth referrals
-
Make a measurable difference in causes you care about
-
Achieve more together than any of us could alone
The why is simple yet impactful: Our community, TOGETHER, raised over $68,000, provided 26,000+ meals, and opened doors for 9 families facing medical hardship.
What makes this unique...
Our focus on community and purpose, helps hosts bring impact into their business while giving back together. With fresh ideas, shared resources, a Heart Stay Network, and the Hosting With Heart badge, we’re creating a movement where every stay has the power to make a difference.
