Meet the Guesthouses Team
Drew Thomasson - Owner of Guesthouses
As a Charlottesvillian native, Drew feels compelled to be a steward for the continual growth of the Charlottesville community. As for taking on this responsibility, he started Cvillas and Estates to offer guests the service values of the true Charlottesville way: Genuine. Quality. Innovative.
Drew has been in the short-term vacation rental industry since the beginning of 2015 when he joined Natural Retreats at their Charlottesville headquarters to help start their Homeowner Relations Team during an aggressive expansion period. Soon after joining Natural Retreats, he was relocated to Denver, CO to help open their western territories office.
After two years with Natural Retreats, he moved back to Virginia where he joined a local short-term rental company as their General Manager. Drew is excited to now lead Guesthouses, keeping the Guesthouses charm and adding innovation to further its core values. Drew lives in town with his wife, Annie, their two children, and dog, Willy.
Tim - Operations Specialist
Tim has called several cities home in his lifetime, but has become a real Charlottesville local. After years of showing off Charlottesville from atop Carter's Mountain, he is now welcoming guests from down below. Tim keeps the day-to-day running smoothly and puts the final touches on spaces before guests arrive. When he's off duty, Tim can be found playing bass with his band, painting, or writing.
Morgan - Marketing & Reservations Specialist
Morgan was born and raised in Charlottesville and recently moved back from Richmond after studying marketing at VCU and being a whole animal butcher. Often, you can find her either on a sailboat or a rock wall. Her local knowledge of the area makes her a great resource for guests, and is always ready to help on the other end.

Having grown-up in Charlottesville, Will has all kinds of insider knowledge to share. He joined Guesthouse in 2021 and was the first designated "boots on the ground" team member. Now, he helps run the behind the scenes pieces of the puzzle like coordinting our cleaning team, vendors, and supply orders.
