Lots of great suggestions to help you out from everyone.
You have used "Fancy" in your listing's title, yet, as others have indicated, it is missing colours and decorations, both inside and out. Without crowding the place, a dash of colour and few items would brighten up the place. In other words, where is the "fancy"?
Setting your base night rate has to be done from two perspectives which are equally important.
First, you want to pay the bills. Making more is also welcomed by all hosts. 😉
Second you have to be perceived as a competitive alternative in your area. It doesn't mean having the lowest price.
1)
You should budget as if you will be 1/2 full for the season you operate. This is paying the bills and however more will make you feel good being a host. You may actually be booked more than 50 % of your season. That's extra revenu and mostly profit, unless you want to cover some major renovation work ...
That will give you the nightly rate you are financially comfortable with. The rate which will keep you happy.
2)
Check the rate of your "comparable" competition AND of all alternatives within your region. Ideally, you want to fit in, neither too low nor too high.
However, since itxs unlikely you have exsct matches, you want to account for the perceived value adds. What is unique and worth more to a guest with your listing? Is it the scenery? Decor? Why would someone want your place ove the competition? It could be you, the host, being near, yet out of the way.
In fact, what can you (afford to) do which would enhance the perceived value?
This is where others suggest painting, a few bit of contrasting and themed decor, better photos, folded towels, etc. The little things can make a big difference without breaking the bank. The first impression are your photos. Make certain they represent what the guests will see, especially indoors.
in comparing your listing, you should be able to figure your "competitive" night rate. The average of your true competitor, be honest with yourself.
Now compare the two rates - comfort vs competitive. the competitive rate should be the highest of the two. If it isn't the case, you have to somehow make your listing more competitive.
Set your initial nightly rate between the two. Then adjust as you get the bookings.
If you are booked much more than 50% of your available nights, start increasing your base night rate. It must be done slowly, like 5% steps spread over time. Stop and back 1 step when you notice a downward trend in your bookings.
Note: Smart pricing will try to adjust for seasons, special events known by the system And a few other factors. You, the host, have to adjust for the things the system doesn't know ...
There is such a thing as having too low a nightly rate. It's either a sign of bare minimum accommodation, a host who won't be there when an issue arises, ... Do not be the lowest "comparable" nor the highest ... without a real good reason.
Remember to put yourself in the shoes of the potential guests. You might like big bright polkadots. I doubt most guests would feel the same... Then again, done right, it might work to fill your calendar.
