I think you have gotten some great feedback from the hosts below. Just to add my thoughts on it.. I am not a fan of last minute discounts and such. I believe that encourages people to wait to book to try and get the deal. That is just my opinion.
Your home is beautiful, and my following thoughts are meant to be helpful, so please don't take them wrong. After reveiwing your write up, I have to say I would not look to book your home. It don't make me "feel" warm and cozy and it didn't make me feel like you had anything that I couldn't get elsewhere. Nothing peaked my interest, if that makes sense.
You are conviently located next to two top attractions in the area. You mention them briefly, but that is all.
I would take your listing and highight what makes you stand out - what you have that is different or unique. So many places have hot tubs, so not a big selling point to me. But, set the tone that makes me want to be in the hot tub, and it would teak my interest. I would take your opening paragraph and re-write.
Here is what you have "Escape to the spacious Spyglass home & relax in a hot tub. Close to the Lake Arrowhead Village and Sky Park at Santa’s Village. Forget your worries in this forested and serene space. We also have a back up generator in case there is a rolling black out during the summer & for the winter, during the winter storms. The backup generator will definitely come in handy."
I would play with something more like this - and this is not good - its 4am -but I think you will understand what I am trying to say 🙂
Spend your days exploring the beauty of nearby Lake Arrowhead Village or exploring and shopping at Sky Park at Santa's Village. Then return home to your spacious Spyglass home nestled in serenity of wooded forests.
The fully equipped kitchen is perfect place to prepare a meal of the local sourced ingredients.
Then finish the evening taking in a breathtaking sunset as you relax in your outdoor hot tub. The perfect ending to the day.
To deal with your rolling black outs - make it an event they can "experience" - sounds crazy -but it helps to take a not so pleasant situation and make it a tad more appealing - if thats possible 🙂 lol
SO maybe something like:
To conserve energy in the summer our area ocassionally participates in what is known as a rolling black out. Its a unique thing to experience, but to make sure you experience it in comfort, we have a back up generator ready to go for you.
The generator also comes in handy if you are here during one of Mother Nature's winter storms.
I would try to highlight the amenites and the areas around you that make your property unique. Put some personal touches in the rooms. Maybe some type of art from a local artists. Make it feel more like a home .
We spent 10 days in Alaska last year and the rental house we reserved was such a unique home. It featured works from the local artists in each of the rooms, fun seasonings in the kitchen from local stores, coffee from the local coffee house and a gift card to a local bakery. Our welcoming gift basket had jellies, snacks and fun treats, all from the local markets. It also included a listing and map to the local places so we could visit them during our stay.
For my husband, and I that was a huge hit. We don't go to an area to eat the same foods we can get at home, we want to experience what the locals enjoy, and taste the foods that are unique to that area.
Hope some of this made sense. Good luck with your listing!
