It’s time for #strsharesunday! Today we are sharing Twin Flower Cabin KY

Katie and Michael have done a phenomenal job with this cabin rehab! It's so gorgeous!

There are a few things we definitely want to highlight:

1. Amazing outdoor shower.

2. amazing indoor shower tile. Love the color!

3. One thing that they've done in their listing that we haven't seen very often is styling the pullout couch! They show you where the table moves to (it makes a really nice side table) and what it looks like with the sheets and blankets on it. It looks cozy and inviting... not *just another* pullout couch!

They also have before and afters, aerial views, you name it!

One last hosting hot tip for you all: in their listing photos on Airbnb, they have a first aid kit inside the bathroom in their laundry area, and have styled it so nicely! That's one of those little things when people are swiping through! When we saw that, it made us feel safe. We noticed that. And so listeners, if you don't have...

It’s time for #strsharesunday! Today we are sharing Archhouse WA

Here's a TFV first... an arch house! This super cute 1970s arch house is hosted by Alex and Erica, who are both in the graphic design world.

You have GOT to go to their feed and give them a like on all their pictures. This spot is so unique and special and we love that they have really leaned in on the uniqueness of this property. And they've done an amazing job rehabbing it! You can really tell they've put a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and money into it but it is SO worth the effort.

The before and after pictures are great!We hope you can get a ton of inspo from checking out this property. Check out how they've put the beds in this cabin, how they've put a couple of different beds in such a thoughtfully designed way.

We see you and the mustard yellow exterior casing, your mustard yellow sofa, and the painted green beams, Alex and Erica! We can tell you're artists because there is a subtle through line...

It’s time for #strsharesunday! Today we are sharing The Hideaway Mason Lake

There are so many things we love about this property!

They've done a wonderful job of weaving in specific available dates throughout their instagram feed. We love an availability alert! It gives your audience a little nudge and sense of urgency by reminding them that the calendar is booking up soon and not to delay in booking!

So if you're looking for some ideas for content to weave in through your feed, do that every now and then! Give a specific three-night stay. Let people know! You never know... maybe it's someone's birthday or anniversary and it would be perfect for a getaway!

Another thing they weave in throughout their feed is reviews, whether they're handwritten or typed. If you're not putting guest reviews as posts... what are you waiting for?

Last but not least, it's a beautiful, beautiful place! We (well... Sarah especially) are OBSESSED with the sauna barrel!

Well done, Hideaway Mason...

It’s time for #strsharesunday! Today we are sharing Pepin Forest Tree House

This little 480 sq. foot tree house is so cute!

In their listing and in their social media, they show a lot of night photos, which really showcases all the windows in the structure and the super cute outdoor spaces.... especially that hot tub!

As as host, you have to know what the shining part of your property is, and how you can sell it to potential guests. We definitely would love enjoy a summer evening stay here!

So often we take pictures during the day, but always be on the lookout for ways you want to display your property.

Oh... and those green kitchen cabinets? LOVE.
