Jenn Gladysz brings a wealth of diverse experiences to the short-term rental industry, blending a background in the military, arts, and high-pressure service business. Originally from New York, Jenn’s journey began with a desire for adventure, leading her to join the Army, where she spent three years working on Army Watercraft—a unique role that taught her resilience, adaptability, and teamwork. After her time in the military, she pursued her passion for culture and creativity, earning a degree in Art, Culture, and Museum Studies from New York University.

Jenn’s career path took a turn from the nonprofit world when she founded and built the largest and highest-rated pet care business in Brooklyn. Over 15 years, she developed a deep understanding of customer service, attention to detail, and creating exceptional client experiences—skills that have translated seamlessly into managing short-term rentals.

In 2020, Jenn sold her business and hit the road with her family, spending a year traveling across the U.S. in a camper. It was during this time that she fell in love with the stark beauty and tranquility of Joshua Tree. Deciding to make it home, Jenn channeled her entrepreneurial spirit into investing in and setting up short-term rentals. She has since become an expert in curating exceptional spaces and optimizing their performance, combining her eye for design, operational expertise, and deep understanding of what travelers are looking for.

Today, Jenn is dedicated to providing guests with unforgettable stays that showcase the magic of the desert, blending thoughtful design, seamless hospitality, and a connection to the area. Her varied experiences uniquely equip her to help others navigate the short-term rental industry, whether by managing properties or consulting on how to create profitable and welcoming spaces.
