We’re Krysta and Tom—a husband-and-wife duo who turned a shared love for cozy spaces and meaningful hospitality into a thriving short-term rental business. What began as a dream to create our own mountain escape in West Virginia has grown into a mission: helping other hosts succeed—without the stress.
It all started with Cozy Creek Cabin, our first vacation rental. We poured heart and soul into every detail—designing unforgettable guest experiences, handling communication, coordinating cleanings, and managing it all ourselves. Along the way, we realized we weren’t alone. Many property owners wanted to offer exceptional stays but felt overwhelmed by the demands of hosting.
That realization sparked The Compass by T&K—a boutique co-hosting and property management company built on trust, intention, and genuine care. We combine big-picture strategy with small-town charm, offering co-hosting and vacation rental management across West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland. Our goal? To take the overwhelm off your plate—so you can enjoy the rewards of hosting without the headaches.
And that’s not all—we’re lifelong learners, always seeking new ways to grow and improve. Whether personally, professionally, or as a family, we believe in pushing beyond the norm to expand what’s possible in life. We’re also active members of an industry-leading Short-Term Rental Mastermind—an international network of seasoned experts.

This place is a jewel. It has a cabin feel with a modern touch. The host is absolutely thinking one step ahead of the guests and you can tell they actually care.
The place was gorgeous, spotless and fully stocked with everything that we needed. The area was easy to find and enjoyed the recommendations by the host. It was the perfect spot for a weekend away. We will definitely be visiting again!
This was a beautiful place to stay! The cabin is so well stocked, the hosts have thought of every detail you could want!
We loved staying in Wardensville. We enjoyed the cabin. It was neat and clean, a perfect place for our family. The check in and check out instructions were very clear.
