Anyone have any Small Town AirBnb Rental experience?
I’m thinking about trying Airbnb with a future purchase. Thoughts for a small Town?

Hey @Roxanne McClain! The town we are in is 267 people. It is about 40 miles outside Coeur d' Alene, Idaho which is about 50k people.
STR in a small town or area is just fine if people want to go there for some reason. Our is Lake Coeur d' Alene. Our home is right on the lake with a small beach, there is a 72 mile bike trail that runs right by the house and lots of outdoor activities nearby including a decent amusement park (Silverwood) about 60 miles away.
I would really listen to @Julie McCoy about the Pigeon Forge area. That is where we are looking for our second STR in that area. You can work with Avery Carl. She is helping us. Her Lucas and Julie are excellent resources for that area. Seeing as you are in Tennessee, seems like great place to start!
