I provide common area (big sectional couch and dining room table & chairs) and bedroom furnishings (full mattress, box, and frame with dresser) to make the price easier to handle for the parents.

Measure it out for a twin bed at 36X72 and see what else still fits, like a bureau/dresser. 

Depending on the jurisdiction-- and I don't know VT Law-- It is often NOT considered a fixture,  it is considered personalty-- personal property, no different than your dresser or your car.  

You might need one to define it as a "bedroom" but a lot of STRs just throw two dressers in per room because it's easier for people to dump clothes into. 

A bed, frame, dresser and night stand should be under $200. 

From doctors and lawyers, to hair dressers and stay at home Dads. 

Air mattresses, no dressers, nothing on the walls.

When they are bored they pick some new "Rule" they will start enforcing, but it only really effects us (Can't put "buyers agent to verify sq footage" in private notes or we fine you a thousand dollars).The states have decided to make mechanics, plumbers, electricians, lenders, mold remediation, hair dressers, real estate agents, pest removal people, Taxi Drivers etc to all require a certain level of certification by law.

As it is a dresser barely fits against the wall because the slant is so low. 

Another thought was to keep one of the units with the walls and just upfit it for a Salon and then rent out each room separately to hair dressers, nail business, massage business, tanning business, etc.
