Encouraging longer bookings

[Lee5775]

We had a booking for an entire month last October, and we have had many other week-long stays since beginning in June 2023. But Beginning in September, I am only getting weekends booked. Is anyone else seeing this trend? Is there a strategy to attract more long-term bookings?

Beautiful property.

Long term stays are not can you tempt but is that a market interest in your area.  People looking foe a 3 bedroom house even for 28 days aren't usually a family but a group of employees either trying to save lodging or transportation costs or both.  I have had no issues with mine but my setup though I like attractive durability and functionality are also priorities. 

I have never tried this but a possible thought is marketing your listing to realtors that might have family clients waiting to close.  The realtors could advise you what market price to charge maybe for a minimum 28 day rental.
