Why Most Airbnbs Miss the Mark — Tyler Wojcik

“We’re not just trying to be a checkbox on your vacation list.” — Tyler Wojcik

Tyler Wojcik, co-owner of Adirondack Lakeside Getaways, shares how their boutique cabins go beyond what most short-term rentals offer. From the start, Tyler and Erin wanted their guests to feel cared for — not just accommodated. They personally stayed in every cabin to fix creaks, test Wi-Fi, and tweak the experience before a single guest arrived. That mindset is why guests keep coming back season after season.

Their mission? To make sure the stay isn’t just a place to sleep, but a core memory for families. While other Airbnbs shut down in the off-season, they saw winter as an untapped opportunity — and they’re growing because of it.

🎯 Business Takeaway: Most Airbnb operators focus only on occupancy — but Tyler focuses on experience. That mindset turns a stay into a story, builds word-of-mouth momentum, and creates long-term demand even in slow seasons. Experience, not just availability, is what drives retention.
