@Scott Mac I really like how you toned down the white windows. That software you use to do that is awesome! What did you use to layer the photo?

@Beth Davidson those are good suggestions. Painting ceilings would really brighten it up. 

We bought a cottage that has Knotty pine tongue and groove car siding on every wall and ceiling in the entire house. We are really struggling with finding flooring and furniture colors that look nice and don't clash. We would love some design insights. We really like the look of white or off white furniture but are concerned about staining in an STR. All items in the photos came with the house and will removed. Fixtures are being replaced with black. Thank you

It depends on how often we choose to use it personally during peak season. This is my first time doing a short term rental so Im not totally sure exactly where we will land. 

I am looking to furnish a lakeside STR in northern Michigan and was curious if anyone has recommendations on pull out sleeper sofas or any other sit/sleep options. I'm curious about pros and cons of different upholstery options and want to make sure whatever we get sleeps comfortably. Any brand or website suggestions would be excellent. Thanks!

We purchased this waterfront property to use as a family cottage and an STR. The property was on the MLS for 130 days. The owner spoke Polish with very limited English. He was very challenging to deal with. The seller had been under contract with two previous buyers and fell out of contract due to non compliance. We remained patient and saw the process through. We paid 35K under market value. We intend to add an additional master suite to increase square footage and ROI as a STR.
