I’m not a fan of #1 because then the reviews will be left for the other account and not yours. I’ve found it best to start over from scratch but maintain the old listing title and cover photo for a short period of time to get any potential guest transfers. Unless you know the previous hosts, I’d much rather vet guests using my own criteria and pricing adjustments.  

They are actually Alumitubs and can be done nicely. A contained small fire that can heat up in a few hours, nothing similar to cavemen creating fire like some of the previous comments. Every nightly rental review that has one, is only positive and they usually have 100s of reviews(at least the only ones I can find).

I wanted to stand out in my market, while checking the box of "hot tub" since it's a standard amenity now.  Debated pairing them with wood burning saunas.

Thanks, it’s been determined I’m crazy. 

Hi, I’m debating a normal hot tub vs a wood fire hot tub. Am I crazy?

Backstory: two luxury cabins in the Rocky Mountains, each sleep a max of 16 but 8-10 guests is more common. Yes, i know I’ll be short on seats in any hot tub and that’s okay. Either choice will seat 6ish. The wood route will require less maintenance and attention from a service company. No chemicals, no electricity, refill and clean after each stay, and “environmental friendly”. It’s just a bit niche and not sure what others think. Of the nightly rentals that I’ve found with a wood tub, all reviews are positive. 

Thanks for your thoughts! 

 Speaking the truth! I tried that market a few years back and price to revenue lacked, massively and it still does. Just because it also has a ski resort does not mean the winters have good occupancy, most tend to rent 4-6 month stays during the winter because nightly rental isn’t strong. 

I 2nd a lot of thoughts about Broken Bow. Again, seemed over priced and too niche a few years back. I could never understand the draw, but i also live in Colorado with real mountains 😀. 

I prefer good deals in established markets that already have some form of permit structure. I don’t like surprises. 

Hi!  

I’m thinking about staying at Moon Palace but not attending the actual conference. I’m at the point where I value the relationships I make more than listening to a speaker repeat themselves or market their program. Anyone else plan on doing this?

Does this mean I’d be able to pitch a $20k course like others?
