Learn How to Launch a Beautiful Eco Stay Step-by-Step

Dreaming of launching your own eco-conscious short-term rental but not sure where to start? Our brand-new course, Launch Your Eco Stay, is here to walk you through the process with clarity, beauty, and a sense of purpose.

This course is designed for aspiring hosts and thoughtful creatives who want to blend business with lifestyle. Whether you have a charming guest cabin, a farm stay, or a peaceful corner of your property, this is your step-by-step guide to creating a space that guests love and you’re proud of.

Led by Mel Chamberlain — GumnutCo’s founder, life coach, and Superhost with multiple listings outperforming the market in occupancy and nightly rates — this course distils years of experience into a practical, heart-led framework.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Define your vision and purpose-led hosting style
  • Style and furnish your space in harmony with the natural surroundings
  • Craft your eco-conscious inclusions list and what to avoid
  • Select and set up booking platforms (Airbnb, direct, and beyond)
  • Set pricing, manage availability, and master booking windows and pacing
  • Take beautiful photos that truly reflect the experience
  • Write a listing description that attracts the right guests
  • Manage guest expectations and enhance the stay
  • Boost occupancy with smart revenue strategies
  • Integrate reviews naturally and make your service shine
  • Build a brand story guests connect with
  • Set up systems so your stay can run smoothly (even when you’re not there)

This isn’t just a how-to. It’s a lifestyle shift — from corporate rush to grounded, purposeful hosting. You’ll gain access to our proven Greensteading method, trusted tools, and a layout system that simplifies every decision.

Whether you’re launching a tiny house, restoring a vintage caravan, or transforming a space in your garden, this course helps you take action, get listed, and create something truly special.

Start where you are. Build what feels right. Create a stay that reflects your values and supports your future.
