What We Do

Four ways we can help

Whether it's a deck that's falling apart, an Airbnb launch, or a business that's still doing everything by hand -- we'll get it sorted.

Construction & Project Design

You've been thinking about a project for months -- maybe an ADU, a renovation, a deck. You know what you want but don't know where to start. We help you think it through, scope it out, and get it moving. Or we review what your contractor already did.

  • Project scoping & feasibility
  • ADU zoning & permitting
  • Contractor oversight & disputes

Short-Term Rental Launch

We take your property from empty to earning. Airbnb/VRBO listing, photos, pricing, smart locks, guest messaging, cleaning schedules -- the whole system, ready for your first guest.

  • Listing & pricing setup
  • Smart locks & thermostats
  • Guest messaging & cleaning

AI Automation for Local Businesses

Tell us what you're doing by hand -- scheduling, follow-ups, invoicing, whatever -- and we'll set up a system that handles it for you. Less busywork, fewer things falling through the cracks.

  • Automated scheduling & follow-ups
  • Online booking & payments
  • Less manual work, fewer mistakes

Website Design & Development

Clean, professional websites for service businesses. Customers can book and pay online, and you show up when people search Google in your area. No templates, no monthly website fees.

  • Custom-built, not a template
  • Shows up on Google
  • Online booking & payments

Projects that speak for themselves

Real problems, real solutions. Here's a look at what we've been building.

Website Build

Spa Clean AVL -- Complete Website Rebuild

A woman-owned hot tub cleaning business in Asheville was using a basic template site that didn't represent the quality of her work. I rebuilt it from scratch in one day -- custom design, online booking connected to her existing Square account, and search engine setup so local customers can actually find her. No monthly fees.

Asheville Forest Baths -- Built from the Ground Up

We own, developed, and operate a 4-property luxury forest retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains -- handcrafted cottages, cedar soaking tubs, and a treehouse sauna. Built the website, set up online booking, automated guest messaging, installed smart locks and thermostats, and created the cleaning and maintenance systems that keep it all running.

Construction Review

Residential Deck -- Caught What the Homeowner Missed

A homeowner suspected their contractor cut corners on a deck build but didn't know what to look for. We walked the project, found the gaps, documented the issues, and gave them a clear report they could take back to the contractor. They got the work corrected without going to court.

ADU Project -- 18 Months of Stuck, Sorted in Days

A friend wanted to build a small guest house on her property but had been going in circles for a year and a half -- confusing zoning rules, no clear plan, contractors giving conflicting advice. We sorted it out over text in a couple of days. She walked away with a clear plan, realistic budget, and knew exactly what steps to take next.

About

Systems thinkers. Builders. Operators.

We're Spencer and Bela Kamalova-Wright, based in Black Mountain, North Carolina. We own, developed, and operate Asheville Forest Baths -- a luxury forest-spa retreat with handcrafted cottages, cedar soaking tubs, and a treehouse sauna pavilion in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Before that, we designed and built a tiny house in California that was featured in over 20 major publications -- Apartment Therapy, Domino, Dwell, Curbed, and more. We lost it in the 2020 wildfires, moved to Fairview, NC and built Asheville Forest Baths from the ground up. Then we bought a property in Black Mountain and built the Dark City Solarium.

We've spent years in the weeds of construction projects, property development, and tech builds. A lot of what we do is help people think through projects they've been stuck on -- figuring out what to build, what it'll cost, and how to get started. We also build websites and set up automation for local businesses so they can stop doing everything by hand.

We're the people you call when something is broken, stalled, or needs to actually work. We don't sell theory. We untangle real problems and get things moving.

What people are saying

Real feedback from real projects.

Spencer and Bela's knowledge of building techniques and cost-saving strategies was invaluable. They helped me figure out the right approach for my project -- including zoning, potential tax benefits, and how to maximize my investment long-term. They're full of energy and will give you endless ideas for getting your build right. Their finished work is exquisite. I highly recommend working with them.

We had no idea where to start with our short-term rental. Spencer and Bela handled everything -- listing, pricing, smart locks, guest comms. We were booked within two weeks of launch.

They built us a site in a day that looks better than what we paid an agency five figures for last year. Clean, fast, and it actually shows up on Google now.
