We took a little (little?) hiatus from social media, but hopefully you haven't forgotten about us. And if you have... hopefully you forgot about us in the same way you forgot about the tasseled jacket in the back of your closet. The one you're absolutely TICKLED to have found again and that's just begging to be worn and loved. Nowhere to wear it, you say? WRONG. Our spaces are perfect for your next get-away... and your next get-away is perfect for your tasseled jacket.

You're welcome.

Let’s talk for a second… Anyone using the phrases “fall is here” and “sweater weather rulezzz” and “OMG PSL 4 life” is clearly jumping the gun. Agreed? It is ONLY the 19th, and according to my watch (and Google’s), Summer is still a go for at leeeast 4 more days.
Trash your sweaters and get your jorts out; because before the Autumn leaves come, HostOften has plenty of Halifax and even some stays and recommendations just for you. (Really hoping everyone gets the Bananarama ref.)

Sid gives insight into our latest project: and explains how we’ve been turning Airbnbs into creative spaces BETWEEN guests.
By taking advantage of free spaces, we are seeking to connect creatives who want to collaborate and build community. By combining our imaginations, we can inspire each other to create just about anything! 🧠💦
Whether you’re running an Airbnb, writing a Google review or taking an Insta selfie, you have something unique to share with your community. You are an artist.

Nintendo so old, I don’t even know what gen it is. A phone with a cord so twisted you’ll think you’re back in your basement trying to listen in on your sister’s phone call with her BFFL, Stacey. Laffy Taffy. White noise. Mario. Boxy TVs. Avon perfume smellin’ like your grandma. Records. Zombies. Velvet. 〰️ retrooo bnb 〰️

We all have “a thing”. Maybe your thing is sports... (🙄). Or your thing is wearing all black. Maybe you name your plants. Beaches. Car rides. Little fruit markets. Collecting pins, but never wearing them. Drinking exclusively from tiny vintage tea cups. Traveling. Spandex. Sampling food from every vendor, but never buying anything.
Maybe your thing is not even knowing you haaave a thing. (Cause that’s also a thing.)
My thing? That invisible, but undeniable, warm, fuzzy, sometimes overwhelming thing called “nostalgia”. I can’t get enough of it. Luckily I have a place to go where I’m smothered in it. (Some of you might think the term “smothered” is a bad thing, but in this case you’re wrong.) don’t believe me? Stay at our 〰️retro bnb〰️ and see for yourself.

Like what you see? Keep reading. Think it’s too much? Please also keep reading.
This moody photo of , a wildly talented burlesque performer, was shot by , an equally talented local photographer, during a recent bo***ir shoot in one of our downtown locations. Both of these artists conduct brilliant work in Halifax and hosting them is always a pleasure.
We received a few comments that were less than appreciative following a recent post. It was an impactful shot of a dynamic model, tineboctor , and captured an exciting mood. Perhaps this image made some people feel uncomfortable; but isn’t that what art is about? Making you FEEL some kind of way?
Our basic business model is vacation rental property management, but at our core we are a collective of creative people. Aren’t we all? Isn’t that an essential quality in business?
Our social media is a platform for us to express ourselves and share what we are doing with you. To share our story and how we are growing. To speak out, and standout. We are not going to start posting exclusively bo***ir shoots, but we are hosting a few of them per week, and love to showcase highlights.
We support our local community, small businesses, freelancers, artists, guests, clients, customers and creatives.
If you have a vision, please share it with us so we can collaborate. If you have thoughts and insights, please continue to share those with us too, so that we continue to grow together in the right direction.

Daydreaming about being as 〰️c00L〰️ as my dad in the 70s. It takes a special kind of person to wear a baby blue, bell-bottomed tux to their wedding, I realize that... but a girl can dream.
Stay with us, and the sweet sweet sounds of a record will have you feeling ABOUT that cool.
