The Journey

Stephen's journey in hospitality began at the prestigious Old Edwards Inn & Spa, where he developed a deep passion for luxury service and unforgettable guest experiences. At Old Edwards Inn, he quickly distinguished himself by overseeing the estate concierge program and managing some of the Inn's most exclusive properties. Whether coordinating private chef dinners, curating bespoke celebrations, or orchestrating perfectly tailored guest experiences. Stephen learned firsthand what it takes to exceed expectations at every turn. 

Building on this foundation, Stephen went on to serve as Director of Operations for distinguished hospitality properties: Highlander Mountain House & Outpost Inn. He deepened his expertise in high-end service and property oversight. This experience equipped him with an exceptional understanding of both the operational and experiential sides of luxury stays. 

Driven by a vision to elevate vacation homes and short-term rentals beyond the standard offerings, Stephen founded The Highlands Concierge. Under his leadership, the company has achieved and extraordinary milestone -- 130 consecutive 5-star reviews on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO -- by treating every detail of every guest's stay with personal care, intentional design, and unmatched service. 

After building that reputation for excellence, Stephen took a short break from day-to-day operations at The Highlands Concierge to launch his next venture: The Airbnb Doctor. This new company is rooted in a simple but powerful mission--to make independent short-term rental owners successful without the burden of expensive and ineffective property management companies that often underdeliver and overcharge. 

With The Airbnb Doctor, Stephen champions the homeowner first approach. Instead of complex fee schedules and opaque services, The Airbnb Doctor offers transparent, results-driven support and charges just 8% per stay--a module designed to ensure that owners earn much more from their properties, not less. By combing strategic listing optimization, thoughtful guest communication, smart pricing, and hands-on operational support, he helps second-home owners turn their short-term rentals into reliable, money-making-machines--without sacrificing quality or service. 

Stephen's work continues to raise the bar for what it means to truly support homeowners and guests alike in the short-term rental space--bringing the same passion for five-star hospitality to every property for touches. 

Stephen's contributions to the field of hospitality have not gone unnoticed. In 2023, he was honored with a place in Marquis Who's Who in America, a recognition of his dedication and impact on the industry. His vision and leadership were further acknowledged in 2024 when he was named one of Marquis Emerging Leaders. Stephen Witt's career is a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence and his ability to elevate every guest experience to new heights. 

In 2025, The Highlands Concierge was proudly featured in Canvas Rebel Magazine for redefining luxury hospitality in the mountains of North Carolina. The article highlights our unwavering commitment to excellence, with over 120 five-star guest experiences and a reputation built on attention to detail, authenticity, and bespoke service. Unlike traditional management companies, we offer a deeply personalized approach--combining elevated design, a hands-on concierge support, and curated experiences that leave a lasting impression. Discover why our service stands apart in a crowded market and continues to set the gold standard for luxury stays on the plateau.
