Resort Renovations: From Nothing to a 200-Guest Venue

Helen Christopher is the podcast guest for this week. A former teacher and current real estate investor who purchased Brooklyn (now known as Camp Brooklyn) two years ago. She specializes in renovating and building resorts and also runs events such as weddings, work retreats, and family getaways. Helen Christopher and her family sold their house to purchase Camp Brooklyn and began living on the property in a tiny 400 sq ft nurse’s office. She began renovating and investing what they could to make it more guest friendly. After seeing the property while attending a wedding, they fell in love with the 60 acres of usable land and the nostalgic buildings. With the help of her father in the construction business, they began transforming the property into a resort. Through podcasts and YouTube, she learned about the short-term rental business and now offers a variety of lodging and packages, including weddings. Despite the long hours and lack of balance, Helen is passionate about her dream and continues building the resort. In this episode, you will learn about: How a family of five lives in a 400-square-foot nurse’s office and invests in renovations How a couple purchased an old summer camp facility and renovated it to host weddings and retreats How a former teacher is running a successful event and short-term rental business without a commercial kitchen and with limited zoning regulations.
