A "Wheel Chair Friendly" Vacation Rental?

Chelsea Mastin
  • Denver , CO
Posted

I know it is illegal to discriminate, but has anyone purposely created a STR for physically handicapped vacationers? I am purchasing a property 3 blocks away for a large, well-known medical establishment (3 hospitals, bio-science facility etc.)- 20 minutes from dt Denver. I would like maximize occupancy by cross-marketing to both Denver vacationers and those in town for medical needs.

I am not discriminating in anyway, but it will be quite an expense to create a "wheel chair friendly" rental and more wear and tear on floors, door ways ect. I also fear if I provide this service and market it as such I could be liable if an accident occurs. 

For those who offer this option, do you feel that the higher occupancy/rental fees make up for the cost associated? I would really like to create an option for those seeking a private alternative to hotels, but is this a can of worms? Any insight? Am I over-thinking?
