Luxury Short-Term Rental Hosting Rooted in Michelin-Level Hospitality
For homeowners who want more revenue, better guests, and a stress-free management experience.
A Five-Star Hospitality Experience for Short-Term Rentals Backed by a Michelin-Level Career. Most Airbnb hosts offer a place to sleep. We offer a destination, an experience, and concierge-level hospitality.
Proven Results You Can Trust
Our hosting results speak for themselves. Marcus is a long-standing Airbnb Superhost with hundreds of five-star reviews and a near-perfect rating earned over years of consistent, high-quality hosting. Guests routinely praise the experience for its exceptional communication, spotless presentation, and thoughtful hospitality—the same standards that define our Michelin-trained background. When homeowners partner with us, they plug into a proven system that already performs at the top of the platform and consistently exceeds guest expectations.
Why Our Hosting Is Different
True Partnership: You aren’t hiring a typical host; you’re partnering with lifelong hospitality professionals.
Real Hospitality: We focus on the guest experience, not just managing keys and calendars.
Owner Mindset: We understand what guests truly want and what homeowners truly need.
We do not work with every property. Our model requires a shared vision of hospitality. Homes must be more than income-producing assets; they must be spaces where guests are welcomed and genuinely cared for. We focus on long-term value, not volume.
Hospitality Is in Our DNA
From Michelin Kitchens to Aroma Thyme Bistro
Marcus Guiliano is a Michelin three-star-trained chef who has worked at some of the most prestigious five-star resorts in the United States, including The Greenbrier and The Broadmoor, as well as La Tante Claire in London, one of the world’s most celebrated Michelin three-star restaurants. Together, Marcus and Jamie bring over three decades of hands-on hospitality experience. This is not theory. This is real-world, high-expectation, guest-focused service. That experience now drives how we host short-term rentals.
The Restaurant Is the Front Desk
In 2003, Marcus and Jamie founded Aroma Thyme Bistro, now one of the most awarded farm-to-table restaurants in the Hudson Valley. Operating a destination restaurant teaches a lesson most short-term rental hosts never learn: Guests do not remember square footage. They remember how you made them feel. Aroma Thyme Bistro functions as a real-world front desk and concierge hub for our short-term rental guests. They have a physical place to connect with and feel immediately welcomed into the community instead of being dropped into a rental.
A Dedicated Guest Experience Platform
Beyond the property itself, our guests gain access to a dedicated hospitality website, hudsonvalleyguesthouses.com. This platform serves as a curated guest experience hub designed specifically for our short-term rental guests. Through this platform, guests access curated local experiences, dining and beverage recommendations, seasonal guides, exclusive offers, and hospitality enhancements that elevate their stay before they even arrive.

We Are Selective by Design
We do not work with every property. Our model requires a shared vision of hospitality. Homes must be more than income-producing assets; they must be spaces where guests are welcomed and genuinely cared for. We focus on long-term value, not volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I earn more money?
Yes. Our hosting system is built around professional revenue management, not guessing or static pricing. We use the same dynamic pricing methodology used in boutique hotels and luxury resorts—adjusting nightly rates based on demand, seasonality, local events, competitor performance, and booking patterns.
Because we pair this with a Michelin-level guest experience, your home attracts higher-value guests who book longer stays and leave stronger reviews, which increases your visibility and your earning potential.
Most homeowners see:
- Higher average nightly rates
- Higher occupancy
- Longer bookings
- More repeat guests
More hospitality equals more revenue.
Will my home be protected?
Absolutely.
We host your home the same way we protect our own: with strict guest standards, clear house rules, direct communication, and proactive oversight.
We do not chase volume.
We select guests intentionally and manage your home with a combination of:
- Professional cleaners trained to notice issues
- Routine property inspections
- Vendor relationships for repairs before they become problems
- Thorough communication with every guest before, during, and after their stay
- Security measures and guest verification depending on the platform
Your home is never treated like a commodity.
It is treated as a valuable asset deserving of professional care.
Will you handle emergencies?
Yes—100%.
From power outages to late-night questions to last-minute issues, we are the point of contact, not you.
We act as your property’s:
- First responder
- Troubleshooter
- Guest liaison
- Operations manager
You do not need to answer your phone at 1 a.m.
You do not need to coordinate a plumber or electrician.
You do not need to mediate anything.
We manage your home with the same calm, seasoned hospitality we use in our restaurant and travel business—always with professionalism, patience, and clear communication.
Will guests leave great reviews?
Yes—because we engineer the entire experience around it.
The hospitality standard we bring comes from decades in Michelin-level restaurants, luxury resorts, and our own award-winning restaurant. Most Airbnb hosts have never worked in hospitality.
We have built our entire careers on:
- anticipation
- communication
- presentation
- service recovery
- consistency
This is why our properties consistently achieve:
- High star ratings
- Positive guest comments
- Increased algorithm ranking
- Higher conversion rates
- More revenue
Great reviews aren’t luck.
They are the natural outcome of professional hospitality.
Can you increase occupancy?
Yes — and not just through Airbnb alone.
We generate occupancy through:
- Dynamic pricing (the same systems hotels use)
- Professional travel agents through our IATA accreditation
- Our VIP Winery Vacations network
- Direct bookings through our platforms
- Return guests who stay because of the experience, not just the price
We don’t rely on one booking channel.
We build an ecosystem that keeps your calendar full with high-quality guests.
