PLACERVILLE, Ca. (InEDC) \u2014 In Sleeping with Strangers: An Airbnb Host\u2019s Life in Lake Tahoe and Mexico, Kathryn Reed pulls back the covers on what happens when she invites Airbnb guests into her homes in South Lake Tahoe, California, and Todos Santos, Mexico. The Airbnb host\u2019s journey begins as a way to pay the mortgage, then morphs into an opportunity to live rent free in Baja California Sur.<\/p>\n
Everyone seems to have an opinion about vacation rentals. But what is it actually like to live in the same house with these travelers?<\/p>\n
Sleeping With Strangers Book I answer that question and so many others in my latest book Sleeping with Strangers: An Airbnb Host\u2019s Life in Lake Tahoe and Mexico.<\/p>\n
I will be speaking Jan. 24 at 5:30pm at the South Lake Tahoe Library (1000 Rufus Allen Blvd.) as a guest of the local chapter of Friends of the Library. The event is free.<\/p>\n
After the reading I will be selling and signing books. Sleeping with Strangers is $20. I will also have copies of my other books Lake Tahoe Trails For All Seasons: Must-Do Hiking and Snowshoe Treks ($20), Snowshoeing Around Lake Tahoe: Must-Do Scenic Treks ($10), and The Dirt Around Lake Tahoe: Must-Do Scenic Hikes ($15). Cash or Venmo will be accepted.<\/p>\n
If you can\u2019t make it to the South Lake Tahoe Friends of the Library event, the books are available at various locations throughout the greater Lake Tahoe area, can be ordered through your favorite bookstore, or purchased online.<\/p>\n
Unexpected adventures involve the police, taking a hammer to the guest room door, and coping with the furnace dying on New Year\u2019s Day when the outside temperature is literally freezing. Some guests were like friends, while others would never be welcomed back. No matter the category, this host enthralled all guests with tales about these two incredible outdoor meccas so they could create their own lifetime memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
