Charging more for more guests

Hi!  I have found similar conversations, but not exactly what I am looking to find.  We have a 2 bedroom house that we rent.  The house strictly states no more than 4 guests.  However, our rate is the same whether it is one person, two, or four.  The issue is, when a party of 4 book the place, they end up paying like 40/night each.  I feel like this incentivizes the wrong people to want to book (younger kids, concert goers etc.) rather than experienced travelers.  Also, the place requires much more cleaning following 4 people...

If I raise the price, then it is unaffordable for one person or a couple.  

What have you all found to work here or is it just the unfortunate side effect of renting?

Add a per person charge after two guests, @Katie621 . You do that in Pricing under Extra Guests when you edit Standard Fees and Charges. 

If you get a chance, look at everything in the edit side of the site. You will be surprised at all the things you can do. It's worth the time.

Like @Lawrene0 says, charge for +1s. And get a lock for the second bedroom door so it can be shut off if just the one guest.
