About the host

Hosted by Joe Stark

Host profile image
I’m Joe Stark—A Vrbo Premier Host, STR strategist, and founder of Stark Industries Property Group. I’ve built my business helping others create passive income through short-term rentals, but it all started right here in Fort Wayne—with this very condo.

When I first stepped into hosting, I knew I wanted to do it differently: professional hospitality, elevated design, and a no-fluff experience for guests who value comfort, quality, and peace of mind.

This unit isn’t just another rental—it’s a space I’ve personally designed for those who want to feel at home while traveling. Whether you're visiting family, working remotely, or just looking to recharge, I’ve made sure the details are dialed in: fast Wi-Fi, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, and an easy, streamlined check-in.

I love sharing my city—and I’m always happy to recommend the best coffee shops, trail spots, and hidden gems most visitors miss.

Ask me for the best local dining spots and hidden gems—I love sharing my favorites!

Why they chose this property

Sawmill Woods is one of those rare neighborhoods that balances convenience with calm. It’s quiet, safe, and tucked away—yet you’re only minutes from Fort Wayne’s best parks, shopping, medical centers, and dining options.

I chose this spot because it’s ideal for travelers who want to rest well while staying close to everything. Whether you’re in town for a tournament, business trip, or weekend getaway, this location puts you within reach of all the action—without the noise, traffic, or hassle of staying downtown.

The area has a strong sense of community, well-kept streets, and quick access to both I-69 and Coldwater Road. You’re close to Glenbrook Mall, top-rated restaurants, golf courses, and some of the city’s best walking trails. It’s a place where you can truly slow down and still stay connected.

What makes this property unique

This isn’t a cookie-cutter rental—it’s a purposefully designed 2-bedroom retreat with the perfect blend of style and function. From the open layout and electric fireplace to the high-speed Wi-Fi and full remote work setup, this space is built to support both relaxation and productivity.

Every room has been curated for comfort—from the premium king and queen beds to the fully stocked kitchen ready for anything from takeout to full meals. The unit has in-suite laundry, smart entry, and a private outdoor space for sipping coffee or unwinding with a glass of wine.

But what really makes this place special is the peace of mind it offers. Whether you're a family visiting loved ones, a professional in town for work, or a couple needing a quiet weekend escape, everything is set up so you don’t have to think twice.

Just show up, settle in, and enjoy a stay that feels like home—only better.
