Bunk Beds or No Bunk Beds?

Brendan Connolly

Posted

I am setting up an STR this year in a single family house in Ohio City (right outside downtown Cleveland). The house is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath. I was thinking of having the following setup in the house:

Room 1: Two queen beds

Room 2: 2 bunk beds 

Room 3: 1 king bed

I was thinking bunk beds would work well because you can fit a couple more guests in the house. I'm starting to second guess this setup as none of the comps around me do it. It seems like bunk beds are usually just in cabin STR's.

I’m starting to lean more towards two doubles or queens in room 2 and maybe getting a couch that can pull out into a bed. 

What are everyone’s thoughts? Trying to find a balance of increasing the number of people that can stay while also keeping the place classy. 

Just to state my main question: Should I ditch the bunk bed idea and move forward with the other setup I posted above?

Would love to hear everyone’s opinion!

I would pass on the bunk beds unless at a mountain/lake. More 'heads-in-beds' is not always the best goal. Make it classy...
