Hey BP STR hosts! Do y'all decorate at your STR for the holidays? If yes, why? If no, why not?

I'm the type to not put any energy into extra work into the STR unless there's a clear ROI so if y'all have any guest testimonials or reviews that specifically called out decorations, I'd love to see 'em!

We decorate for Christmas and Thanksgiving if we have bookings.

Being pretty rural in north Idaho on a lake, winter is our down time.

We did get a week long Thanksgiving booking this year and we decorated for them. They loved it.

We do get compliments and it reflects in our 5 star ratings.

For Christmas, we put up a tree and decorate it along with all the other things all around the house. Very festive. We also put out some rolls of wrapping paper and tape. Alot of folks will show up having bought a gift or two on the way. Nice to have the ability to wrap it.
