Meet Debbie Todd, creator of The Woodlands at Hocking Hill.
Debbie is a physical therapist and mother of three by day, and an STR host by night.
Debbie and her husband Jeff were looking for a vacation home that they could get away to a couple of weekends a month. The idea of renting it out wasn’t totally off the table, but certainly wasn’t a priority.
Then one weekend, in the spring of 2020, the family decided to list the property on Airbnb. And, well, it instantly took off…so much so, in fact, that the Todd family was rarely able to stay there!
This traction inspired Debbie and Jeff to start searching for another home in Hocking Hills.
Tune in to hear the inspiring story of how Debbie and Jeff found the property which they’d transform into the Woodlands Lodge and how they’ve designed their budding STR business to give back to the community.
Alright, without further ado, get ready to meet Debbie.

This week's episode is brought to you by Wander.
In every marketplace, there are the Davids and Goliaths.
While it’s hard to fathom now, Amazon was a David when Borders and Barnes and Noble were the bookstore Goliaths.
And don’t forget that Apple was a David when Xerox, IBM, and Motorola were consumer technology Goliaths.
Today, I want to introduce you to the David of short-term-rental platforms — a company called Wander.
Whether you’re embarking on a family vacation, planning a getaway with friends, yearning for a workcation, or organizing a company offsite, there is a Wander for every occasion.
Wanders aren't vacation homes, they're better. Inspiring views, modern workstations, restful beds, hotel-grade cleaning and 24/7 concierge service are just a few of the guarantees that come when you stay with Wander.
Wander is in search of high-end vacation homes in incredible locations around the US (think national parks, beaches, mountains…) with proven annual revenue. If you are a short-term rental owner looking to sell your property to someone who will appreciate what you’ve built, send the Wander team an email with all the important deets (like monthly rev, monthly expenses, yada yada) to
[email protected].
If Wander makes an offer, you can count on it being all cash, quick and hassle-free.
So if you’ve been thinking of selling, even remotely, why not start a conversation with our friends at Wander? Send them an email at
[email protected].
