Listing a Cabin that's currently being remodeled

Is there a way to post that my cabin is being remodeled and updated pics will post in a few weeks?

You can put something in the first line of the description that puts the remodel in a positive light. Then under the property section briefly state what the updates will be. 

 

Note: We're putting the finishing touches on some exciting upgrades to the cabin to make your stay even better! New photos coming soon!

 

I would be sure to stay in the cabin yourself, or have a friend stay after the renovations to ensure everything is working properly before accepting guests. You might need to block off some extra days after the remodel is finished to do this, but it is necessary. As a new listing you can't afford any negative reviews. Make sure the space is squeaky clean, this includes all the vents and replace furnace filters (if you have them), as dust will surely be everywhere! I mean the dust gets everywhere: in cabinets, in closets, on shelves, on baseboards, on lamps, ceiling lights, you name it. 

 

Once the new photos are done, be sure to remove any reference to the remodel so unscrupulous guests don't try and get a refund based on cleanliness issues due to the remodel.
