Just start !

Read the information in the help files, find out about any local laws regarding short term renting and create a listing !

Emiel Thank you so Much for providing this information. I had read few of the files. Now, I am bit confident that I can take a start. Now I would set my account and would start hosting guests.

Welcome to the Forum,

There is a mountain of info on here and as you can see if you have specific question just fire away,

Also there will be some FB groups you can join they can be useful sometimes,

And then you have You Tube I can send you some good YT channels for you to watch, a lot of garbage out there that just click bait,

Let me know I will send to your message inbox,

I would avoid Youtube video's on STR @Robert6414 . Most of them are from get rich quick merchants trying to sell their latest training course/book/services.

I would use the resources @Emiel1 directed you and the Airbnb Help Centre  which has FAQs on all aspects of running your STR business on Airbnb. 

Once you have familiarised yourself with the basics then if you have specific questions not covered by Airbnb's resources then do come back here and ask.

Best of Luck.

Starting an Airbnb in a rural tourist area can be a fantastic venture, Robert6414! Here are some concrete steps to kickstart your hosting journey:

1. Understand Local Regulations: It’s crucial to check local laws regarding short-term rentals. This ensures you’re compliant and avoids any potential issues down the line. You can find helpful guidance on setting up your listing on Airbnb’s resource page for hosts https://www.airbnb.com/resources/hosting-homes/a/how-to-become-a-host-on-airbnb-490

2. Create a Compelling Listing: Highlight the unique aspects of your huts and the charm of your village. Great photos and detailed descriptions attract guests.

3. Engage with the Community: Join relevant Facebook groups for hosts and explore reliable YouTube channels for insights (as recommended by others). Just be cautious of misleading content; focus on credible sources.

4. Learn and Adapt: Start small, gather feedback, and adjust as you go. The Airbnb Help Center and community forums are excellent resources for troubleshooting and learning from others’ experiences.

Best of luck on your Airbnb journey! Feel free to share more about your progress and experiences with us here.
