I’ll have a little bit of work to do at the house before it’s rental ready your welcome to pop in and check it out or we can try and grab a coffee one of these mornings 

It's always a tough call on whether to just do a day trip or pay for a rental as the costs of a nice rental can add up quickly.The TL/DR (which I'll expand on) is that we ended up changing to a strategy of letting others help pay for a cabin that we know we'll love.

I live on the other side of the country - 3 time zones earlier than my STR, so when I have guests staying, I wake up about 6 AM my time to check my phone, to make sure I see any early morning messages or problems.

But I've learned...I look on trip advisor for a 40$ meal but not for a 1k$ course.

It was mistakenly charged as if they had done each task as a different trip, rather than all of them in one trip.

The next morning the chicken backed up the sewer line into the basement of the building.
