Meet Dylan Keuning, your friendly neighborhood super-host and seasoned expert in the realms of travel and real estate wizardry!
Believe it or not, my journey began far from the shores of Florida, as I immigrated from Johannesburg, South Africa to the sunny landscapes of South Florida, USA at the tender age of 19. From there, I delved into the world of hospitality, working at prestigious venues like the Riviera Country Club and various hotels before obtaining my real estate license. With a deep passion for real estate and an unwavering work ethic, I've been assisting buyers, sellers, and investors since 2010 in South Florida and now extend my expertise to Georgia and North Carolina, where I am also licensed.
As a licensed real estate broker with Sotheby's International Realty based in Highlands, North Carolina, I've worn many hats, from flipping homes under the Florida sun to mastering the art of short-term rental properties.
But hold on, the adventure doesn't stop there! In the summer of 2023, my family and I bid farewell to the sweltering heat and palm trees of South Florida, trading them in for the rolling hills of North Georgia. Why the change? Because we fell head over heels for the charming mountain towns, especially the delightful Clayton area nestled in northeast Georgia. Its blend of Southern hospitality and breathtaking scenery won us over, leaving contenders like Blue Ridge and Ellijay cabin rentals in the dust (apologies, folks!).
When we're not busy sprinkling hospitality magic at our own cabin, you'll find us jet-setting across the globe, exploring new corners and cozying up in Airbnb gems ourselves. And let me tell you, there's nothing that warms our hearts more than hosting wonderful folks like you and forging lifelong connections along the way.
Now, let's talk about passion. From my humble beginnings as a dishwasher at an Italian trattoria at age 13 to my journey through South Africa's ecotourism scene and eventually immigrating to the USA, hospitality has always been my calling. With nearly a decade of fine dining and hospitality management experience under my belt, I've mastered the art of making guests feel like part of the family.
And oh, did I mention my stint in Miami Beach's glitzy hotel scene? Yep, I've strutted my stuff at some of the swankiest joints around, including the Fontainebleau Resort, Loews Miami Beach Hotel, and the glamorous ONE Hotel (formerly Gansevoort South). But enough about me flaunting my resume—let's talk about you and your epic getaway at our Lake Burton cabin rental!
So buckle up, my awesome guests, because I'm here to ensure your stay is nothing short of spectacular. From sparkling clean accommodations to going the extra mile, earning us both the Airbnb Superhost and VRBO Premier Host badges, I'm dedicated to crafting unforgettable experiences for each and every one of you.
