While hosting, when do you take your holidays?

Hi everyone,

 

As we all know, the high season in most cases is during the summer months, regardless of when that is based on your geographical location. 

 

Before that busy period, I can imagine several of you preparing for the many bookings to come, but I'm curious to learn about how you spend your time after high season.

 

Personally, I love taking holidays in September and this also worked when hosting as my bookings would start quiet down around that time, giving me a chance to enjoy some beach time. So this got me thinking as to which month is your "September"? 

 

When do you take a break from hosting? 

 

Looking forward to reading your replies. 

 

Thanks,

Nick

I wasn't smart enough to create downtime here, @Nick . We have a woodstove, so it's guests all year 'round.

However, I have proactively blocked a few weeks, hoping that we can travel. We have Montreal in our sights, for instance. 🙂

What a great question as I just finished getting the suite ready for my new guests.:)

Planning on flying to the UK in March to visit my daughter and new British grandson 'Xavier' who is 12 weeks in this photo, so in the New Year, I will block that calendar. This will be a much-needed break since we opened on July 1st, 2021. I can hardly wait to get on a plane again so I am praying that the UK will be safe to travel.🙏Xavier 12 weeks.jpg
