Hi, we’re Jon & Cassie! We started hosting as a simple way to earn extra income — and it’s grown into something that’s changed our lives.

We didn’t have fancy furniture, interior design skills,a big budget or a big house. What we did have was a desire to make people feel welcome and to use what we already had to build a little margin in our lives.

Along the way, we’ve learned what works (and what doesn’t), how to keep things simple, and how hosting can be a gateway to financial freedom — not stress, even for non-risk-takers like ourselves.

Through The Ellensburg Host, we share our real experiences, favorite hosting tools, and honest lessons so you can start your own hosting journey without fear or overwhelm.
