Need help, very little bookings

[Basil53]

Hi All,

I'm a former Superhost for over 3 years. I lost my superhost status when I sold my last property and had a year of no activity before launching my new property. I’ve been told by everyone how beautiful the house is, it’s 5 mins from a major ski resort, on a very private setting, etc. My nightly rate is hundreds less than other competing properties that are far less desirable.  I’m at a loss.  Any advice ??

Thank you!!

Basil

@Basil53  Maybe a summer setting (outdoor pictures) may serve your listing well, Durango being such a summer destination. Your out-of-the-way location may not serve skiers as well.  Just a thought.

Hi Fred,

Thanks so much, I completely agree and I can't wait to take summer pictures, the snow has yet to melt, lol.  Very heavy winter here - we got half of what Mammoth, Tahoe and Alta got this year.  My goal was to have a large 4bd+ house within 5 mi of Purgatory for large family and friends gatherings with a very private setting.  I had a 3bd condo previously that did quite well, but wanted the freedom and flexibility of having a stand alone home without the rules of an HOA.  I think the summer pics, more reviews and getting my Superhost status back will help.  

Thanks!

Basil

@Basil53 One random thought: Comparing your price to others is fine EXCEPT, by definition, those other properties have not rented so may be way more expensive than those that have. Sadly you can't see those that have rented or what they rented for.
