Value add cabin amenities

Ben Hooper

I purchased a cabin in the smokies a few months ago and have gotten a handful of visitors and reviews. One of the consistent areas of improvement is the value rating. While i know some guests will nitpick, i expect most will provide an accurate value judgement. 

From my other listings, i've seen small amenity additions have a lasting impact on overall ratings and value ratings. I've added the same things to the cabin (his and hers toiletries, spare toothbrushes, snacks, wine, roku streaming, etc), but they haven't had the same effect. 

I already have a hot tub, rocking chairs, fireplace, and indoor jacuzzi at the listing.

For the cabin owners out there, what are the touches you've added that guests comment on or have seen a boost from?

I keep a scoped pellet gun, pellets and squirrel/starling bait (corn) on the enclosed back porch of one of my houses.  Also keep a running board like this:

SQUIRRELS  IIIII  III

STARLINGS  IIIII IIIII IIIII II

PIGEONS  IIIII IIIII IIII

SPARROWS IIIII IIIII II
