This DIY Upgrade Nearly Broke Me | Life As AIRBNB Hosts

Описание: We’re transforming dirt into Desert Luxury with this $1,000 Airbnb backyard upgrade!
Well... as you know, it’s slow season here in the High Desert, which means it’s the perfect time to take on a DIY landscaping project—in the middle of a Joshua Tree summer heatwave. While Kristen is pregnant back home juggling family, doctor visits, and baby prep with Finn 🐾, Michael takes on this beast of a project solo (and almost gets taken OUT by heat exhaustion).
We’re building a DIY flagstone walkway to connect our cowboy tub and daybed area, making the entire outdoor space more cohesive, photo-worthy, and guest-ready. From shoveling and stone-laying to fixing erosion and optimizing aesthetics, we're showing you the real behind-the-scenes of being Airbnb hosts with big dreams on a budget!

Big shoutout to Mom for jumping in with that gorilla cart and helping make this a reality.

Hi there! We're Kristen and Michael — a couple embarking on the wild adventure of transforming our dream desert home into a thriving short-term rental business!
After leaving Los Angeles (our home for 7 years), we chased our dreams and bought our desert house in summer 2021. Since then, it’s been a full DIY renovation journey and building our rental business from scratch!
Follow along for laughs, tears, DIY fails (and wins!), and all the behind-the-scenes moments of Airbnb hosting.
