(WFRV) – Airbnb recently surpassed two billion guest arrivals, and the milestone guests happened to be Tim and Theresa, a retired couple from Eagle River, Wisconsin.
The couple booked a family trip to Sandy, Utah, where they stayed in a renovated ski retreat listed on Airbnb. This trip, taken in October with their children and grandchildren, secured their place in Airbnb’s history.
