We are going to create a vibrant experience for our Guests!

Feel free to PM me if you want me to get you connected. :)

The lower your price, the worst guests you attract, both in reviewing you and in doing damage to your furnishings. 

I've got perfect feedback and great guest reviews on my STR but I'm better at running LTR.

Not alot of confidence in any existing rentals as consistent indciators but I feel like so many homes are 1/2 rentals and don't tell the whole story.Anyone have any insight into the Cashiers/Highlands/Sapphire/Lake Toxaway markets to share? 

I personally feel that it is a liability people could use as an excuse for an accident they have if they are drunk.

@Marc Shin, Soundproofing is definitely something worth tackling for a short-term rental—it’ll keep your guests happy and help you avoid complaints.

Similarly, My mother-in-law went to live in assisted living homes rather than us having a guest house in the backyard of our current home where we could have hired a nurse full time to be here with her to take care of her at our home.

Almost nobody that wants a 3-bedroom has only one car, except the occasional single parent with small children, or solo professional that wants a home office and guest bedroom. 

Booking.com tends to be more hands on since you have to setup up a payment processor and take payments from guests.
