But the smaller properties (1 or 2 bed, 1,000 to 1300 sq ft) have actually continued to rise.My guess would be the people with a family of four that were coming in and staying at the larger 3 bedrooms are deciding that its more economical to just rent out the 1 or 2 bedroom places so that they can still vacation at a cabin but at a more reasonable price.Additionally, two and three years ago, the numbers on the larger ones just made more sense so people went a built a bunch of those but the small ones not so much.

Same for the vacation rental people, and I would put a few signs up inside and out to remind them. 

Once the lease expires, provide notice to vacate to both parties and move on from them.
