A B&B style house might be OK though.There's also agricultural things you can use the land for like timber harvesting, growing fruits/vegetables and livestock grazing so even if a vacation rental wouldn't work it might be possible to rent the land for agricultural use. 

You will find some in the Marbach area as well, but the other areas should yield good fruit for you.

Conversations with planning and building were fruitful.

I did just that, in the meantime looking for some lower hanging fruit.  

These little perks can go a long way toward sealing the deal for any prospective guest who's on the fence and deciding between two vacation homes.Once you've booked those guests, don't forget to treat them with a little something special, such as a nice “welcoming” basket of goodies, along with a delightful gift basket delivered midway through their stay.

Wishing you a Happy and fruitful new year.

It was a very fruitful endeavor for the period of time I was able to do it.

Improving that vacancy rate is just some of the low hanging fruit.

Good built, all hardwood flooring, many upgrades, beautiful but neglected large backyard with ornamental and fruit trees.

That a few phone calls to local home builders "may bear fruit" for you!
