Our Story

Havn Hosting was founded by two couples consisting of long-time friends, business partners and Superhosts Lucas, Carissa, Kit, and Jenny — a team united by entrepreneurship, hospitality, and a shared commitment to exceptional service.

With over a decade of friendship and collaboration, the founders of Havn Hosting bring deep trust, complementary skill sets, and a proven track record of operating top-performing short-term rentals across British Columbia. Their own properties consistently rank in the top percentile on Airbnb, driven by thoughtful design, strategic amenities, and an unwavering focus on guest experience.

Hospitality sits at the heart of Havn Hosting. The team believes great hosting goes beyond clean spaces and smooth check-ins — it’s about creating welcoming, well-curated environments where guests can truly relax and feel at home. From coastal retreats to a stunning cabin in the woods designed for memorable group stays, every property reflects a hands-on approach and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Lucas and Carissa are based in the Comox Valley, where their love for the outdoors, travel, and community shapes the guest experiences they strive to deliver. Kit and Jenny live in the Okanagan with their growing family, where they operate a beautiful, high-performing cabin that caters to larger groups seeking connection, comfort, and nature. Their success is rooted in intentional upgrades, thoughtful amenities, and a deep understanding of what guests value most.

Entrepreneurship is a shared foundation across the Havn Hosting team. Both couples have built and operated successful businesses, bringing a strong service mindset, operational discipline, and a growth-oriented approach to everything they do. Together, the four founders offer a diverse and complementary skill set spanning operations, guest experience, marketing, finance, and strategic growth — allowing Havn Hosting to deliver a level of service that is both highly professional and genuinely personal.

At its core, Havn Hosting is built on trust, excellence, and long-term partnerships. Every property is treated as if it were their own, and every owner relationship is approached with care, transparency, and accountability.

The mission of Havn Hosting is simple: to make hosting effortless for owners, create memorable stays for guests, and help exceptional properties reach their full potential — a top tier host team for owners, and a haven for guests.
