Never lose a night's sleep — because when you work with me, your property and your profits are in expert hands.
From maximizing your revenue with proven co-hosting strategies to handling every guest interaction and maintenance detail, I take care of everything so you don't have to think about it.
I treat your property the way I treat my own — because as a property owner myself, I know exactly what's at stake.
Wake up rested, knowing your home is in the hands of someone who is already three steps ahead — protecting your investment, maximizing your revenue, and delivering the kind of results that speak for themselves.
Is your Louisville property making as much money as it should?
Is your current property manager or co-host juggling 15, 20, or even 50+ properties?
Do you think they're spending 2-4 hours a day focused specifically on your listing?
Are you on the first page of Airbnb — getting the traffic and bookings your property deserves?
Are you truly happy with what your property is earning right now?
If you answered no to any of these — we should talk.
I am selectively taking on a small number of Louisville properties. Not because I have to — because I choose to. That's what allows me to give every home, every owner, and every guest the attention they deserve.
Why work with Melissa?
Intentionally Boutique
I stay small by design — so every home, every owner, and every guest gets the attention they deserve. With me, you're never just another property on a list. You're a priority.
You'll earn more. I know what it takes to outperform the competition — because I've done it. My own Vermont property outperformed comparable listings by 72% using the exact same strategies I bring to every property I host or co-host. That's not a promise. That's a track record.
I treat your home like the investment it is. Transparent reporting, clear financials, and honest communication — you'll always know exactly how your property is performing and why.
You keep everything that matters. Full ownership of your listing, your guests, and your revenue. You collect the money. I handle everything else.
You'll outperform your competition in Louisville. While other properties are being managed on autopilot, yours gets daily attention, strategic pricing, and a host who actually cares about every booking.
No long-term contracts. Stay because you're getting results — not because you're locked in. I earn your business every single month.
You're always the priority.
I understand what's at stake when you hand someone the keys to your investment. I manage every property with your goals front and center — protecting your asset, growing your income, and giving you genuine peace of mind.
I'm your easy button. Hand me the keys — figuratively and literally — and rest easy knowing your property and your guests are being taken care of at the highest level. No micromanaging required. No 2am texts from guests. Just results.
I'm an owner too — so I get it. I'm not just a co-host. I'm a property investor who has real money on the line, just like you. I know that every booking matters, every expense hits the bottom line, and every bad review stings. That's exactly why I treat your property the way I treat my own — with a laser focus on maximizing revenue, protecting your asset, and making sure it performs like the investment it is — not a gamble.
At Boutique Cohost, I partner with a hand-selected collection of homes in Louisville — each chosen for its character, charm, and potential to deliver unforgettable guest experiences. From bourbon-inspired retreats to large-group luxury getaways, every property is designed to stand out and tell a story.
I believe exceptional homes deserve more than a typical co-host — they deserve a dedicated partner who treats your property like the investment it is. Through thoughtful design guidance, strategic pricing, and high-touch hospitality, I help Louisville homes become top-performing, experience-driven stays that guests remember and return to.
If this sounds like your home — or what it could become — I'd love to help you bring it to life.
Everything handled. Nothing overlooked.

What others are saying
"Terrific host in all ways"
Melissa is a terrific host in all ways—friendly, responsive, and conscientious. Her home is exactly as advertised and made for a wonderful extended family getaway. Loved the kitchen, the game room, the view of the mountains…
And oh, the website with details and instructions was incredibly appreciated by all.

"A+ property with a warm and welcoming host!"
One of the nicest homes with a great host! Not only were the bedrooms and baths fresh, clean and beautifully appointed, there was a lovely breakfast bar set up with coffee, a huge tea selection, creamers and several varieties of oatmeal... Lots of thoughtful touches throughout like LOTS of fresh towels, tissue boxes, luggage racks, dressers and well lit bathrooms. This is an A+ property with a warm and welcoming host!

"Not wanting for anything"
Melissa and Tony’s house is immaculately clean, utilitarian and cozy. We were not wanting for anything in the kitchen as we enjoyed cooking meals, making coffee and relaxing at the dining room table. The location close to town was great and just enough tucked away in a neighborhood to feel like home. We’ll stay again if we have the chance. Melissa was quick to respond and offer anything we needed. Much appreciated!
