The Happy Host Guest Guide is a customized welcome booklet that has all of the information & details your guests will ever need when booking your rental. The guide is designed with love & care to be as aesthetically pleasing as it is informative.
Why create a guest guide for your property?
Are you shooting for that super-host status? Or maybe you want to streamline the renting process for you & your guests? Offering a guest guide could be the solution to take your rental to the next level & impress your guest weeks before their trip!
A guest guide can...
Set the tone
First impressions count & a guest guide gives you the power to steer those initial opinions.
Establish Trust
Meet all your guest's expectations by providing informative details about their stay.
Generate excitement
Exploring all the attractions & details for their vacation will give your guest more to look forward to!
Be Professional
Be the real deal. A guide is a great look to make your home feel special & take your rental business seriously.
Reduce FAQ
A guide answers all your guest's questions before they have to reach out & ask.
Increase Reviews
A guide is a great reminder for your guests to offer feedback, and they'll be eager to with your extraordinary service.
Improve Experience
When you remove confusion & uncertainty, your guests will have nothing but positive feelings to reflect upon their stay.
Save Time
Imagine you can answer all the inquiries you receive with a single sentence. "Please refer to the guest guide."
How it Works
The process is simple. You'll share some information about your property, then I’ll do some research about the rental’s location, and put it all together!
Here are the steps:
Steps:
1
Please complete the Happy Host Guest Guide form,
& send to: happyhostguestguides@gmail.com
Please send a $100 deposit to my Venmo @emilymiller220
2
I will use your Airbnb/Vrbo/etc. listings to pull most of the info & pictures. If there are pictures of the host, the property, or the area you would like me to add to the guide, Please email them to me.
3
Do you have an existing house guide that you send to your guests after confirming a booking? Please email that to me, and any check-in/out instructions you share with your guests so I can add it to the guide.
4
I will design the booklet using the form, & email you the first draft. This should take about 7-10 business days. After reviewing the guide, you'll send me any changes & revisions to be made, until you are happy with the result!
5
After you send the remaining balance for your guide to my Venmo, I will send you the completed guide as a high quality Digital PDF – you can send this to your guests after confirming their booking. I will also send you a file for printing to leave at your rental.
Guide Samples
Each guest guide is unique and completely customized for your rental, interests & location. We know how much love and care that is put into a rental property, and we strive to translate that style & ambiance to the guide. Take a look at some of our client's guest guides.
Please note that the pages in this guide have been watermarked, redacted & edited to protect the privacy of our clients and prevent plagiarism of our research, design & copywriting.

Hi! I'm Emily.
Creator of happy host guest guides
Thanks so much for your interest in HHGG! This has been such a fun creative project for me and I think the rental industry is such an exciting space to be a part of.
As a frequent traveler, I've spent many nights in all types of STR accommodations: hostels, AIRBNB's, luxury hotels, resorts, motels, cabins... if you can sleep in it, I've stayed there! What I've learned is, the more information I have before the trip, the better I feel about the stay.
I started making guides for my friends & family with rentals, and the feedback has been unanimous: the guests & hosts alike love it! I use Canva to build each guide, and using research & the host's input, I weave together the highlights of the area & the house to find what makes it unique & awesome! I'm excited to work with you and craft a guide that captures the wonderful essence of the home you've created to share.
Happy Hosting!
