Greg — Glamp Forest Airbnb
I had a great call with Greg Trotnic this week, diving into his glamping operation out in Tennessee. Greg and I go way back, as he was one of my first "8 Weeks to Lauch" students a couple of years ago. In fact, Greg stayed at my place last year during the Glamping Show. (Photo attached.) It's great to have him in Your Land Is Gold!
Greg’s a glamping host, and he's got some truly unique spaces tucked away in the forest—each with its own personality and quirks. You can see his Airbnb profile here: Greg’s Glamp Forest Airbnb.
What stood out to me is how much potential is sitting in these sites. Greg has a Lotus Belle “Stargazer” tent, a Wizard-of-Oz-themed “Mushroom” tent with the best reviews, a wall tent perched on a deck, and even a tiny home he relocated from Pigeon Forge. The spaces are adventurous, off-grid, and set up with hot showers, composting toilets, and four-wheeler transport up the hill.
As we talked, we set a few clear goals for Greg to help him tighten up operations and grow his revenue:
  • Unify pricing across all units ($89 weekdays / $99 weekends).
  • Update cover photos to highlight the tents and their outdoor setting.
  • Adopt a PMS so he can expand beyond Airbnb to Hipcamp, VRBO, and Glamping Hub.
  • Market the four-wheeler rides as part of the adventure, not just logistics.
  • Market the fact that he has Wifi. The photos and location suggest otherwise.
  • Aim for $40–50K in 2026, with weekday bookings as the next frontier.
Take a look at his listings—Greg’s Airbnb page—and let’s cheer him on as he sharpens his systems and takes Glamp Forest to the next level.
