Do you offer a parking spot to your guests?

Hello everyone, Alex here.👋
 
We all know that guests can arrive at your accommodation in many different ways. For those arriving by taxi, it’s easy for them because they don’t need to worry about where to park. But for those arriving at your listing by car, do you offer parking?
 
We have hosts from all kinds of areas, from bustling city centers to remote and quiet places, each with different advantages and characteristics!
 
One question that often arises from guests is about parking... I would love to know how you all handle it! 
 
Is this information clearly mentioned in your listing, or do you wait until the booking is completed to communicate it? 🗣
Do you provide a parking spot on your property, or do you recommend nearby parking options?
 
We look forward to your thoughts and any tips on how to manage parking!🅿️
 
Whether you have parking or not, please share your opinions and thoughts in the comments!
Best regards,
Alex

We have driveway parking for guests.

Yes, we actually have a parking lot with a special sign next to the Air B and B steps, so it is a breeze to bring your luggage or bags upstairs. We have a one bedroom apartment not occupied by anyone with linens, kitchen fully equipped and snacks. My B and B is in a walkable town with antiques, theatre, restaurants and in a very quiet neighborhood.

Yes. I am able to allow 1 car parking, non shared space.

Street parking is readily available except NO STREET PARKING from 11:00am - 5:00pm daily. 

Most guests have a car. There has not been any conflict or concerns regarding car parking.

We’re a semi-off-the-grid cabin tucked into the raw, rugged forest, so yes—we do offer parking, but it comes with a bit of a nature clause.

 

The cabin site includes space for one regular-sized vehicle right on site. For guests towing trailers, RVs, or hauling boats and ATVs, we’ve got a larger parking area just behind the cabin site that’s easier to navigate and turn around in.

 

Because we’re fully at the mercy of Mother Nature in the wild, especially this time of year, we do our best to prepare guests. Between snow, spring melt, ice storms, and the kind of downpours that turn trails and grounds to soup, it gets... mucky. Boots are a must.

 

We mention all this in our listing and again in our welcome message, where we suggest parking in the back lot if they’re driving 2WD or aren’t sure about the terrain. We also send a day-of message letting them know the fireplaces are on, and giving one last reminder about parking options depending on their vehicle.

 

Still, I’m always surprised how many guests show up without reading a word of it—driving into the woods for an off-grid stay, expecting a paved lot and needing some intervention and/or extra support. And no boots in sight!

 

All part of the adventure, I guess.  Best, Joe

Yes we have lots of parking and easy access as well for our guests.
