As we continue on our journey to hosting an airbnb, we decided that the best way to understand what we needed to do with our place was to get out there and try a bunch. We have stayed at airbnbs before, but never with the mindset of starting our own. It was time to take a trip and see what there was to learn. With our bikes in tow, we headed down to Kentucky bourbon country. The plan was to bike to a new town or city each day, tasting bourbons along the way and staying at airbnbs. 5 airbnbs, 6 days, 165 miles on our bikes. We explored Kentucky’s rolling hills meandering through cornfields and by full tobacco barns. Black rail fences and pastures of horses guided us along to the tall bourbon rick houses where we learned about and tasted the sweet corn whisky. After a long day on the bike, a clean comfortable place to rest and relax was a welcome sight. Here is a list of the things we appreciated and came to expect from an airbnb, and also some of the things we decided we didn’t like.
