A note from Michael Dinwiddie, creator of Hospitality HQ
The Notion template helped me get organized and reach rental freedom. But it was limited to what Notion can do, and teams had to learn Notion well first, which isn't easy. So I built RentalMind, an AI Second Brain that keeps your team organized and you out of the day-to-day.
If you want a self-managed Notion setup instead of full software, the Hospitality HQ template is still here and still works. Originally built to run our own 20+ property portfolio.
Lifetime access to the template and every training video. Works with a free Notion account; a paid Notion plan unlocks the AI features.

The problem: I was always chasing information, coordinating projects, and re-training people. So I built a Notion template to keep the team organized, and Hospitality HQ was born. It worked so well I could step back from daily operations entirely.
RentalMind is what happens when you take everything that made that template work and rebuild it as proper, AI-powered software. Same mission, much bigger engine.
Either way, you're getting a system that hundreds of STR operators already trust.
