She Bought a House in Labor—Now it’s a Top 1% Airbnb Featured in Arch Digest
from Suite Success: Masters of Hospitality · host Skift
When most people go into the delivery room, they’re focused on diapers and nap schedules. But Haley Brosa was buying a house. What started as an idea to reclaim her sense of self evolved into a creative outlet—and a serious business. Four months after the birth of her second child, what became known as Holly House went live on Airbnb. Within ten days, the home was booked solid for six months and went on to earn the distinction of being in the top 1% of listings—all while being in one of the most competitive short-term rental markets in the country: Scottsdale, Arizona. In this episode, Haley shares the story behind her viral success, how she balances creativity and motherhood, and the lessons she’s learned about building a brand that stands out in a crowded market. From trusting her instincts to designing a space worthy of Architectural Digest, Haley’s journey is proof that timing doesn’t have to be perfect—you just have to start. Whether you’re an aspiring Airbnb host, a design lover, or someone chasing a creative spark, tune in for a reminder that your next big idea might start in the most unexpected place.
