Offering of Netflix as a guest amenity
Hello BiggerPockets VR friends! I've heard that some people offer their guests Netflix. We own a VR cabin in Gatlinburg, TN and this would seem to be a really nice amenity to consider adding. Here's the problem, I work in healthcare and plead technology ignorance, LOL! How exactly would it work? First off, do you need to have a certain type of TV set, i.e. smart tv? Do guests use there own Netflix account? What is the typical out of pocket expense to me as an owner?
A side note, anyone looking to connect and discuss VRs, I'd love to call you a colleague! Feel free to send me a colleague request.
Thank you in advance!
Jeff

We have one Airbnb short-term rental. We provide high speed internet and limited basic cable through Comcast Xfinity. It includes our local broadcast channels, 10 HBO channels and 50 Music Choice channels. Our guests who want anything more can stream from their own accounts onto their own devices. Most of our guests don't watch TV at all while they are here. Instead they are out sightseeing, attending events, and enjoying the local entertainment and dining options. None of our guests have commented that they would have liked us to offer anything more. We've been doing this for over a year and are Super Hosts. I wouldn't spend the money for Netflix.
