And a washer & dryer are critical for those of us traveling away from home for more than a few days.One of the things I love about our small 2-person Airbnb is that I never have to worry about big, illegal, violent drug parties or families having a field day jumping up and down on our beds.If single people or couples are likely to be visiting Branson, they make awesome guests. 

I am under contract for a SFH property in metro Austin Area with a target closing date of end of May.
