Thinking About Hosting? It Might Be Easier Than You Think. Years ago, while traveling for work, we found ourselves asking the same question over and over: “Wouldn’t it be great if we knew lifestyle-friendly travelers in the area who had a spare bedroom or guest room?”

Hotels were fine, but they weren’t what we were really looking for. We wanted the opportunity to meet genuine, like-minded people, share stories over dinner or a drink, and enjoy the kind of connections that have made the lifestyle so rewarding for us over the years. We realized there had to be a better way for lifestyle-friendly travelers to connect with welcoming hosts instead of always staying in anonymous hotels.
That simple idea eventually became SwingHavenBnB. a community built to connect lifestyle-friendly travelers with verified hosts across the country.
Today, verified members can browse lifestyle-friendly stays, create Travel Requests when they can’t find the perfect place, or even list their own property to welcome fellow travelers. If you’re new to the community, learn how SwingHavenBnB works before getting started.
Not Every Host Owns a Vacation Rental
When people think about hosting, they often imagine owning a large vacation home or an investment property.
That’s certainly one option, but it’s far from the only one.
Some of the best hosts might simply be couples who:
- Have a spare bedroom
- Have a finished basement or guest suite
- Own a guest house
- Travel frequently and leave their home available
- Enjoy meeting new people
- Want to help fellow lifestyle travelers feel welcome
Sometimes the best stay isn’t the fanciest house—it’s the conversation on the back patio after dinner.
It’s About Hospitality, Not Just a Place to Sleep
Many of us have spent years building friendships in the lifestyle.
Imagine extending that same hospitality to couples who are simply passing through your area for work, vacation, a lifestyle event, or a weekend getaway.
Maybe you have dinner together.
Maybe you point them toward your favorite local restaurant.
Maybe you become lifelong friends.
Or maybe you simply provide a comfortable, private place to stay before they continue their journey.
You decide the experience.
SwingHavenBnB isn’t just about finding a place to stay.
It’s about building a network of trusted, lifestyle-friendly homes across the country—places where members can travel with confidence, make new friends, and feel welcome.
If you have a spare bedroom, guest suite, vacation home, or simply enjoy meeting new people, we’d love for you to consider becoming one of the founding hosts helping grow this community.
Every new host creates more opportunities, more destinations, and more meaningful connections for everyone.
Every host decides what works best for them. Some offer a private guest room for a single night, while others welcome guests for weekend getaways or longer vacations. Browse our current lifestyle-friendly listings to see how other hosts have created welcoming spaces.
