All About the Owners of The Box Hop: Marc & Amy

In the world of vacation rentals and unique accommodations, there are hosts who go above and beyond to create memorable experiences for their guests. Marc and Amy, the owners of The Box Hop, are among those extraordinary hosts. With over 22 years of marriage and two incredible children through the gift of adoption, Marc and Amy have a story filled with twists and turns that led them to their passion for hosting.

A Journey of Faith and Hospitality

Marc and Amy’s journey has taken them through various life chapters, including their departure from 17 years of campus ministry. Leaving behind financial stability and salaries, they embarked on a new path, focusing on their lifelong side hobby of houses. In 2018, they began renting out the River House Apt and welcomed guests from around the world. It quickly became apparent that creating welcoming spaces where everyone could feel a sense of belonging was not just a mission but a calling for their family.

The Birth of The Box Hop Collective

As “accidental entrepreneurs,” Marc and Amy started receiving requests from people seeking guidance on starting their own journey on Airbnb. This marked the birth of The Box Hop Collective. Within just two years, they expanded from four to nineteen All Belong Co properties, extending their hosting services to other cities beyond their own. Currently, they manage 30 properties and show no signs of slowing down.
