Hi @Billy327 Cute space with a lot of potential. The intro needs work. Write down all the positives or great things about your property and then ask ChatGPT to write you a description for an Airbnb in, insert your location. . Including local attractions. Have more pics of local attractions as well as the farm animals. Farm stays are not going to be for everyone. Talk to the folks that would enjoy a farm stay and fresh eggs in the morning.
Love the fresh eggs for breakfast.
The pics- you need pro pics and some serious staging.
Get the clutter off the kitchen counters and only have 3 or 4 things.
The beds- the pillows and bedding need to be a little more inviting. You should have 4 pillows in each bed.
Living room- not sure what is hanging in the windows but it’s not working in your
space. Some simple room darkening curtains or blinds would be better. Your TV is way too high. Maybe a rug under the couch to anchor it down.
It’s not easy when it’s your first one. Lots of trial and error. With some small changes you can really turn it around.
You came to the right place for help so keep us posted.

Hi @Billy327
Here are some suggestions to improve your listing:
1. Guest Restrictions: Relax your settings to allow all guests, not just experienced ones, to contact you.
2. Property Description: Provide a detailed description of your property, highlighting all the great reasons it's perfect for guests.
3. Photos: Use professional photos and stage your space to look clean and inviting. Show off your comfortable living room and farm features.
4. Amenities: Ensure you list all available amenities, including kitchen appliances and essentials.
5. Local Attractions: Mention nearby attractions and activities that guests can enjoy.
6. Interior Updates: Enhance the space with inviting bedding, better curtains, and proper TV placement. Consider adding a rug to the living room for a cozier feel.
Making these changes can help make your listing more attractive to potential guests. Keep refining, and good luck!
Best,
Nalin

Hi @Billy327
I think most things I would raise have already been covered. Primarily to me, the walls seem sparse and uninviting. Simple and cheap art from a junk/thrift store would do, though im also a big fan of pictures of local attractions /local area.
The opening few lines of the description read very corporate / not personal. By all means put these in the description, but maybe with something a bit more inviting
Lots of repeated and too many photos and kitchen looks really full (not sure herbs/spices on top of the cooker is the best place )
I hope this helps - just been deliberately nitpicky, but these can help 🙂
Best

Hi @Billy327 , you have a nice home. I think the other hosts made great recommendations. Consider making your place a little more sterile. I’d remove all the spices from on top of the stove, remove some of the stuff from countertop and remove everything other than lamps from the bedside tables (where would guests put their items?). Also the description should be modified, I wouldn’t tell everyone I’m new to this, they can already see you haven’t hosted anyone before. I would suggest maximizing your description by talking more about your amenities, comfort, nearby attractions. Maybe take a look at other listings in your area that are doing well (w lots of reviews) and take note. I’d all also spell check to ensure the listing is written in a grammatically correct manner. I think your bedrooms are nice but consider a more sterile or plain blanket as yours is very specific to your liking. Again something a little more sterile, plain, simple something that the masses will like, think would I find this in a hotel?
Best of luck w your listing. It takes time getting started, but once you do I’m sure you’ll be busy. You have a nice home. Take care

@Billy327 , I agree with what has already been stated. Clutter, clutter, clutter is a big turnoff, at least for me. Beds look uninviting and need improvement. The drapes in the living room need to be replaced. Invite more light into your place. Your place has potential, it needs the right decor, but not too much that it ends up being clutter. Kitchen counters should be clear of appliances with the exception of a coffee maker. After you’ve made some of the suggested improvements, then post great pictures (preferably with captions describing each space).
Wishing you success in creating a space that says “relax, you’ve arrived.”
