@Donald28 we are fairly new host, started in Oct 2018. We are a little off the beaten path so don’t get a lot of traffic, but things are starting to look up for us here in Kansas too.
Here is our 2019-2020 nightly comparisons thus far:
Jan 2019-1
Jan 2020-1
Feb 2019 -1
Feb 2020 -1
Mar 2019-0
Mar 2020-1 cancelled due to COVID
Apr 2019 -1
Apr 2020 -2 (separate 1 nighters cancelled due to COVID)
May 2019 -3 but guest cancelled
May 2020-24 scheduled so far (1 for 19 nights and 1 for 5 nights)
June 2019-2
June 2020-1 so far
With cancelations happening due to COVID we decided to block our room for March, April and through May 10. Upon opening back up we immediately received a booking for 20 nights.
Originally we planned to open a 2nd room up right after the new year, but put it on hold due to COVID. We finally opened our 2nd room in May 2020 to accommodate co-worker of our 20 night stay.
