@T28 Excellent pointers! Thank you so much for taking your time to review my listing. Your insight is great, I haven’t thought about the fishing consequences 😅. And I do need some kind of a desk , just in case people want to do some work from home, why not putting it in kids room? Laundry hampers also nice detail I overlooked. Thank you again, very grateful ☺️
Excellent proactive measures! Heck, this is great stuff for when *I* go fishing! 😊
love this community for the expert advice!! 😁
Hi Anna, Thanks for allowing us to review your listing. I used to own a cabin in the middle of the woods, with a long windy gravel driveway, and we ensured that folks knew about this upfront with pics. Here are some of my suggestions:
Dogs: I would provide doggies sheets so folks can use them to cover furniture. No dog beds as dogs will sense another dog and pee on the bed. I do provide bowls, a mat and dog shampoo. People love it.
Kitchen: provide more spices than salt and pepper. Spices are not expensive and you can a variety and your guests will love it. Get a larger dining table. For 6 people, it seems tight.
Bedrooms: The room that has the twin beds should have a larger bed with a sitting area. Swap the twin beds to a smaller room. The other bed that has a large bed should have a chair or bench. Somewhere to put a bag or sit to tie your shoes. Remove the items off of the long dresser/console because it looks cluttered.
Living room: If you move the smaller couch away from the window and closer to the larger couch, you could put a small desk by the window and provide a workspace. Add pictures of your board games.
Pic: when deciding which pic to post, use the pic where people will gather the most as your cover pic. You have great outdoor pics.
Content: Go to Chat GPT and put your description in it and ask it to improve it.
Your space seems lovely and you have good recent reviews. From time to time, adjust language and pics. Hope this was helpful.
Thank you for your insights! I appreciate them 🙏
What is the chat gpt description about? Thank you for your feedback!
@Terrill0 Sorry for the late reply. You copy and paste your description into chat gpt and ask it to review it and improve it.
I love the ideas others have mentioned already, and they include much of what I was going to say! Definitely Chat GPT for your description. Definitely a “no” on the dog beds, as another person mentioned, as they will mark their territory. I agree on moving LR furniture to add a small workspace! Definitely add spices & change the cover photo.
Adding some pics of the local water and nature / hikes, will help immensely when drawing people in, especially when they don’t get to see much nature on a regular basis. 💜
Just a quick FYI dogs will not mark a dog bed. Dogs mark by urinating. Dogs don't urinate were they are sleeping.
Hi, thank you for taking time to review 😁. I do have spices, and oil/vinegar/sugar/coffe/tea etc. it doesn’t say that in my listing? 😅
Hi Anna, you have a beautiful home and should be very proud. Don’t over think it. Do your best for your guests and don’t worry. I have an older home and use to worry at the start but my aim is to have an extremely clean and cozy home and my guests are very pleased with that, as well as my warm hospitality and generosity, ( providing 🥖 Bread, milk 🥛 🍳 eggs, biscuits 🍪 etc. ) It’s all about giving our guests the comfort of a home and “ an experience “ not just a house to stay in. Keep positive and don’t worry ! 😊
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement!
Awesome house and location! I love it and would love to go there.
The only advice/question I have is why are you only renting out your house for two nights? Have you tried extending it to 3 or even 4 nights. I think a lot of people would be willing to come for longer stays and it's more income for you. In summer and up to the end of September you can put a minimum of 3 nights. Until mid-December 2 nights. And for Christmas 4 nights. And so on...
Good luck! 🙂
Hi, thank you for feedback. It’s usually 2 nights minimum. I just realized that I can custom set minimum nights during holidays ( got only 2 nights booked on Thanksgiving, oh well 😅). But I set 3 nights min for Christmas.
Hi Anna you place is absolutely beautiful
