Increasing occupancy for vacation rentals

[Steve Dove]

I'm looking for some advice on how to increase the occupancy rate of my vacation rentals. During the summer, they are booked solid, but I need to figure out a way to attract guests in the fall / winter. The properties are in northern Michigan.

Thoughts?

Have you looked at catering to hunters? Maybe if you could put together a package that gives hunters right to get on private land included with a week long rentals type thing... Would require some upfront work on your end but at least it creates some demand.
