About Adventure Creek Ranch
When Debbie and her husband started Adventure Creek Ranch, they wanted to create more than just a place to stay. They wanted to create an experience - that was friendly both to families and solo travelers.
Set in the heart of North Texas and nestled within 100 acres of scenic trails, Adventure Creek Ranch offers six rental properties - that range from treehouses to campers.
Being in a very rural area meant their listings themselves needed to be unique and memorable, both in their design and what experiences they offered on their properties to interest guests.
Adventure Creek Ranch needed an automated system
Their property provides the means to explore and enjoy nature on a massive property. Some of their offerings included laser tag, rentals with insurance, stargazing packages, s’mores kits, and more.
All of that begs the question: how do you automate your system so you don’t have to be involved in the process all the time as a host? How can you collect payment or track inventory across six rentals? Enter: The Host Co.
“We like to do everything 100% hands-off, so they can click, get all the directions and codes, pay, and they don’t need me at all. That’s what I love.”
Doubled revenue + improved guest experience
With The Host Co, Adventure Creek Ranch was able to streamline the way they communicate with their guests, while offering a range of services through an integrated online store. "We like to do everything 100% hands-off," says Debbie. By adding The Host Co's custom store link in their welcome messages and listings on Airbnb, Adventure Creek Ranch can give their guests immediate access to all their offerings. “Guests can click, get all the directions and codes, pay, and they don’t need me at all. That’s what I love.”
The most transformational effect of working with The Host Co thus far has been in their revenue. "I'm doubling my revenue. It's been a game-changer," says Debbie. By adding other services, including Rentals, Scavenger Hunts, and Stargazing packages, Adventure Creek Ranch has unlocked a new revenue stream almost equal to their fee from booking.
“We’re getting repeat guests quickly now. One family stayed with us, added an extra night during their stay, and came back two weeks later for another four-night stay. They’ve told us this is their place, and they’ll be back regularly.”

The result: fewer questions, more returning visitors
With automation of guest interactions, Adventure Creek Ranch has reduced guest inquiries by 50%. They don't have to ask for firewood anymore or for directions—the store link has everything. "Since the very beginning, they get our store link and start booking things right away. I'm completely hands-off. It's been great," Debbie says. This has not only relieved them of a lot of workload but also increased the convenience quotient of their guests. Many reviews mention how smooth and delightful it was to schedule additional services. They just love being able to cater their stay without having to go back and forth with a host.
That level of convenience has also driven guest loyalty. The guests in one family liked their stay so much they extended their trip on the spot, then returned two weeks later for a four-night visit. "They've told us this is their place now, and they'll be back regularly," says Debbie.
“The Host Co been transformational for us, boosting our income every single month. We love it.”
