I also worry that if you stage with too much food stuff, guests are going to expect a cheese board, croissant, and wine waiting for them at checkin ;)  

If you've been dreaming of a coastal cottage or second mountain cabin for years - the next two years offer the same asset reallocation opportunity. 

All I know is that I have a shitton of large cheese pizzas on the line.

When we replaced siding, we looked to see if there was any activity, and the side of our bedroom was like Swiss cheese.  

My parents own a lake cottage in Michigan that I’ve turned into a short-term rental.

We are also temporary heat providers for most large construction projects in and around Buffalo NY, neither I nor anyone in the industry that I know if has been contacted about setting up temporary heat for this project which is normally one of the first steps before a project gets into winter. thats a nice cottage industry winter heat.. 

My grandfather had a cottage on the lake.. fond memories  Poygan is a huge lake though

So many hosts waste their prime real estate with Airbnb (the listing title) on generic adjectives and throwaway opinions, something like "“Charming Cottage with a Beautiful View.”What do you think of the tips in the forum thread - Fast Fixes to your Airbnb Title

In fact - they recently reduced the CAP for the Eastern region and so unless you have the ability to wait (on an extensive waitlist) or the property in question is commercially zoned - or in specific communities that allow STR usages, don't plan on a coastal cottage here anytime soon.
