Steve and Kimberly Resnick, founders of the premier property management company HeavenlyRez, are proud to announce the official release of their new book, Hospitable Hosts: Couples Edition.

Launched on Valentine’s Day, this book marks a significant milestone in their mission to elevate the global short-term rental industry through the power of storytelling.

A Story of Resilience, Purpose, and Hope

The Resnicks are part of The Global Hospitality Collective, a movement dedicated to showing that hospitality isn’t about the property — it’s about how people feel. In their featured chapter, “Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste,” Steve and Kimberly pull back the curtain on the real-life tragedies that shaped their lives and fueled the creation of HeavenlyRez.

This narrative is more than a professional guide; it is a deeply personal tribute. The book is dedicated to the families who are their “why” and is written in loving memory of their daughter, Ashley, whose story reminds the world that love can be transformed into a lasting legacy.

Turning Hospitality into Impact

What is a Hospitable Host Author? STR professionals elevating hospitality standards through education, storytelling, accreditation, and shared leadership

For the Resnicks, being a Hospitable Host Author means leading with a responsibility that extends beyond guest stays.

All royalties from the sale of the book during the first twelve months will be donated to the United Leukodystrophy Foundation (ULF). The ULF is a non-profit organization that has spent over 40 years funding critical research and providing support for families affected by leukodystrophy, a group of rare neurological diseases. By purchasing a copy, readers are directly supporting these families as they navigate diagnosis and treatment.

Raising the Bar Together

“We don’t just host. We lead. By sharing our journey, we hope to turn hospitality values into clear standards and show that great hospitality is intentional, not accidental.”

— Steve Resnick
What is a Hospitable Host Author: we raise the standard of short-term rental hospitality, believe hospitality is a mindset, create spaces where guests feel seen, and support hosts

Hospitable Hosts: Couples Edition is now available. A must-read for hosts who care about people as much as profit, and for anyone looking to find hope in the face of adversity.
