My goal is to keep my listing in high standing / good rating / favorable algorithm - considering that, what is the best method to block off the winter season? As I see it, there are a few ways to do it and I would appreciate hearing the community's experience and opinion on each option. All the previous posts I found on this were 2+ years old so I thought I would pose again.
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Hi@Marina
I just block off my calendar until next May.
Its worked the last 3 seasons.
Hi @Marina481,
Snoozing worked for me... waking up after a spell though, did need a kiss from Prince Charming.

@Marina481 The problem with blocking the dates out is AirBnB is notoriously known for opening up blocked dates randomly. So I would feel better Snoozed personally, but if you can check it every other day or so you should be fine blocking. If not I wouldn't do it.
I always choose to block the dates. Have never had them randomly open, but just in case, I do check the calendar regularly.
I have no idea why my search placement is so good, and am not willing to tempt the fates.
