Today we’d like to introduce you to Kylan Pimley
Hi Kylan, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Kylan is the founder of Go Gorge Getaways. She launched this journey in the short-term rental sector in 2018, leveraging her 20 years of experience in long-term property management and previous experience in athlete hospitality at Nike Headquarters. Gradually, she expanded her real estate portfolio, curating a thriving hosting business. Today, she maintains an unwavering dedication to guest satisfaction, with a keen focus on streamlined processes and effective communication. Kylan’s commitment to excellent guest stays, ensuring the safety of short-term rentals, as well as fostering a sustainable and enjoyable neighborhood experience, is evident in every aspect of her work.
Kylan thrives on navigating the dynamic landscape of the short-term rental industry. She continually updates her expertise in revenue management, travel consumer behavior, market analysis, and emerging hospitality trends. Her ultimate goal is to enhance her guests’ experience in the Columbia River Gorge while giving back to her community. She also LOVES putting together guest welcome baskets!
When she’s not immersed in hosting, Kylan relishes quality moments with her husband Jake and their two teenagers. She frequently escapes to the slopes for skiing or trails for hiking, often conceptualizing her next innovative project.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My mother always said, “Nothing worth doing is easy,” and she was right—this journey has been anything but smooth. I’m deeply grateful for the failures and lessons along the way, as they’ve shaped both me and my business. Building a small business comes with its share of challenges, but staying focused on my why has kept me grounded during tough times. As we prepare to double our vacation rental portfolio and expand into other real estate projects in 2025, I know there will be obstacles ahead. However, I’m confident that surrounding myself with the right people—those who uplift and support me—will be the key to overcoming them and achieving success.
