So about these bears

I have a cabin right on the Roaring Fork River in downtown Gatlinburg that I built in 2017.  It does really well, but my decorator asked if I felt like the bear taxidermies suppressed bookings.  I have one on each end of the cabin.  I LOVE my bear taxidermies, but what do you guys think?

I wouldn't put them in a rental.  For maximum income, just like putting up religious photos/symbols, or family photos, you don't want to turn guests off.  Plenty of people love to see animals, but the thought that someone killed that animal to hang it on the wall is a turn off to many.
