How They’re Building Canada’s Premier Luxury Treehouse Company

Meet Lauren and Cam Green, the founders of The Fort Treehouse Company — Canada‚Äôs premier luxury treehouse company.

Cam and Lauren met at summer camp.  They were a part of the same friend group for more than 15 years before they started dating, but once they did, it was clear that they were a perfect match.

Both Lauren and Cam are quite entrepreneurial.  Lauren tends to have the big ideas and Cam is incredible at finding ways to bring them to life. 

While working on staff at the camp that he and Lauren met at, Cam discovered a sustainable treehouse design and build program in Vermont.

And it was this moment where Cam first realized that what he really wanted to do was build beautiful escapes in the trees! 

Tune in to hear the remarkable story of how Cam and Lauren brought their first treehouse to life and what the couple has planned next for The Fort Treehouse Co.

This week's episode is brought to you by Guesty for Hosts. 

One of the questions I get asked a lot from listeners is what they should look for in a PMS or Property Management System.

Now, we‚Äôre lucky — there are a lot of great options in the market, which can‚Äôt be said for software platforms in all industries. 

That said, I always encourage them to take a good look at Guesty for Hosts — and here‚Äôs why:

1. Guesty‚Äôs Channel Manager helps you centralize data across the major booking platforms and stay on top of all activity on your listings without having to hop back and forth between channels such as Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. 

2. Guesty’s automation tools enable you to ensure you connect with guests in a meaningful, creative, and instant fashion. You can make custom messages for a variety of situations, from a response to an initial inquiry to a post check-out follow up encouraging your guests to leave a review.

3. It includes a Website Builder feature that allows you to create your own branded booking website in just minutes‚Ķallowing you to grow your listing‚Äôs brand value and increase your direct bookings. 

4. And finally, Guesty just raised over $170 million dollars which means they got some serious cash to continue to seriously invest in their product!
 
So here‚Äôs the deal.  If you‚Äôre a STR host without a PMS system or a host looking to explore a new one, I‚Äôve got a treat for you.
