Look at your listing this way, I am a potential guest with a group of six.

Your living room looks great.  Nice comfy hangout for part of my group while the other part is making dinner in the wonderful kitchen.  Except doing what?  I want the ability to turn on my streaming service or even the evening news,  I am choosing to spend time with my group, so being able to be some what together is a lot more inviting than a separate room

Dining room table has 4 chairs and the beautiful deck shows 2 chairs. 

If I am a group of six, we can all fit together in one room  STR the buyer's mindset is choosing a place that brings  us together after our vacation we go home which is probably separated.

Hello, 

The house can accommodate up to 8 people if they share bed. Dining table has 6 chairs

I am not questioning how many people can sleep comfortable.  Reading your review negatives and your photos my group can sleep comfortable but cant hang out hen awake on the property.  TV in a separate room with seating for two what do h others do go to bed?

It looks like the main comment for 4-stars is the TV/large group entertainment and comfort. 

It may be worth investing in a great couch/sofa couch and a TV that mounts on the wall on a swivel. And with the theme of kids toys you have, maybe a retro gaming console? 

I’m also a fan of supporting local artists and multi-media artwork so it feels more authentic versus prints from a big-box store. 

The front/back yard photos are GREAT.

@Alana243 , You've made such a great point to include local artists and their artworks to the listing to make it authentic! 

Do you have any favorite local artists or types of multi-media artwork you’re particularly drawn to, or are you always on the lookout for something new and unique for your space? 😍

Looking forward to reading your thoughts and ideas!

Regards,

[Alana243]

It helps that I have many friends in Oregon who are artists, but I also filter for Oregon artists on Etsy too, or go to local art fairs in the town near our property! 

Plenty of options to buy something other than art from IKEA or Target, and it’s going directly into the pockets of the creators. 

[Bhumika]

@Alana243 I totally love your thought behind purchasing from artists and supporting their talent! 

Ofcourse all sorts of artwork are great, but I am curious—is there any specific piece of art that you adore the most? Something that you're glad to have purchased 😍 

Would love to hear about your favorites!

The living room and patio/deck are lovely. The decor, from one room to another maybe doesn’t flow as well as it could. Also, what is that hanging above be the toilet in bathroom 2?

Thanks for the opportunity given to give feedback and congrats on your listing! 

The quality of the pictures on the listing, could be improved. A better-quality camera or professional photographer can help you get better quality.

I didn't see blinds or some type of shutters in the living room windows pictures. It would be helpful to have them for privacy client privacy.

The patio is nice and large and has chairs. You might want to put a table there.

You might want to add board games and other features that would make the listing more child/family friendly.

Adding plants and flowers inside the listing and on the patio, will be great! 

[Bhumika]

These are fantastic tips @Eta2211 ! Regarding the photos, do you recommend hosts should revisit photos from time to time to ensure they look appealing to guests? 

How often do you think hosts should update their listing photos?

Looking forward to learning more from you!

I'm confused. The title says four bedroom home but under "where you'll sleep"  there are only two bedrooms and a couch shown. Is it really only a two bedroom home? Or do you need to add pictures of the other two bedrooms? When things don't match, as a guest I move on to the next listing.
