Through a career coach, I discovered a passion and interest in creating <a href=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/unitedstatesofamerica\/south\/texas\/johnsoncity\/johnson-city-accommodation-bell-tent-glamping-near-austin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a lodging destination in the Texas<\/a> Hill Country. I&#8217;m a big fan of glamping, vintage RVs, and unique lodging types. The natural environment, the outdoors, and the ecological aspects of property and land management are really important to me. I love to travel and explore different parts of the world. To experience the environment through a local lens instead of staying in large chains or hotels and doing the most popular tourist activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ken-and-team-3.png\" alt=\"Host of the Month for January 2023, Ken in Johnson City Texas and his team\" class=\"wp-image-19271 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ken-and-team-3.png 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ken-and-team-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ken-and-team-3-337x190.png 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Host of the Month, Ken (middle) in Texas, with his team, Jenifer (left) and John (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-attracted-you-to-owning-a-glamping-property\">What attracted you to owning a glamping property?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The creative aspects of glamping and an interest in the outdoor environment really drew me in. Incorporating nontraditional lodging types with a small footprint also appealed to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-every-glamping-site-has-a-special-story-could-you-tell-us-about-yours\">Every glamping site has a special story, could you tell us about yours?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While renting the property out, on a more long-term basis prior to jumping into providing shorter-term guest accommodations, we unintentionally harbored a fugitive who owned a travel trailer restoration business. Luckily the law caught up with him! It was a bumpy learning curve and required a large cleanup effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/quirky-bell-tent-3.png\" alt=\"Enjoy top amenities at this luxury glamping site in Texas\" class=\"wp-image-19272 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/quirky-bell-tent-3.png 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/quirky-bell-tent-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/quirky-bell-tent-3-337x190.png 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Enjoy the spacious kitchen and shared amenities at this <a href=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/unitedstatesofamerica\/south\/texas\/johnsoncity\/bell-tent-rental-texas-hill-country-glamping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unique glamping<\/a> site in Texas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-some-of-the-challenges-you-face-and-what-have-you-learned-since-opening\">What are some of the challenges you face and what have you learned since opening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of them. We&#8217;ve faced septic issues, and well pump problems causing us to not have water. Some infrastructure and contractor issues resulted in encroaching on our neighbor&#8217;s land. As well as placing electricity and water in very inconvenient areas on the property. Also, managing bookings and the backend functions of the business was a struggle until we incorporated booking engines and tracking software that made it easier to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest learning experience has been in getting the right team on board as it can make or break both the quality of guest experiences and really every aspect of running the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ken-and-team-2.png\" alt=\"Host of the Month for January 2023, Ken in Texas and his team\" class=\"wp-image-19273 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ken-and-team-2.png 734w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ken-and-team-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/glampinghub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ken-and-team-2-337x190.png 337w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 734px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 734\/413;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Host of the Month, Ken (middle) in Johnson City, with his team, John (left) and Jenifer (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-was-your-first-time-hosting\">How was your first time hosting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A little challenging!
