Summary

In today's episode, we sit down with Skylar Wilson, one of the driving forces behind the family-run Wanderlust and Wild Soul Treehouses. Located on 40 acres of serene land, these treehouses offer a unique escape for couples seeking a peaceful nature retreat. Skylar shares her journey from helping her parents start the treehouse business to managing the properties alongside her family. We delve into the challenges of balancing full-time jobs with hosting, the creative process behind building and decorating the treehouses, and the importance of guest feedback. Join us as we explore the joys and trials of running a family-operated short-term rental business and the passion that drives them to create unforgettable guest experiences.
