For me personally when a group of us go out of town I almost exclusively use vrbo.com to rent cabins, houses, condos for when we travel. It generally means there has been some screening by VRBO that assures me of a bit of a safety net. We even used the service when we went to Canada and they have "vacation rentals by owner" worldwide. I like the format and they generally show lots of photos including a lot of photos taken inside the property as well.
Might want to check it out if you haven't already to maximize the exposure of your rental.

Trail work on Sunday.
Come on out and help with the trails that are the reason you have this situation to think about.
Just saw the link and the prices. You are right about them. But I think you have a good idea and can get some rentals out of FATS being close.

And when it comes time to update your listing again - you might want to think about mentioning the other approximately 115 miles of trails that are in our area - many of the trails are older and more established and can be ridden a little quicker after rain!

As I mentioned before we personally use VRBO a lot and like it when the host thinks enough to put information in the house or cabin for us about places to eat, outdoor activities, maps, etc. Perfect opportunity if you plan to cater a bit to mountain bikers to have information on the local bike shops and maps of the local trails, etc - would probably ensure a steady flow of folks and word of mouth advertising.

Great - I live locally but am happy to see additional lodging information out there for folks coming into town. Between the campsites, hotels, friends, and now some house rental listings it will give folks coming into the area for mountain biking weekends or weeks some real options! Keith if you go to the VRBO listing link and go to the bottom of the page the website is listed!  |

A few years ago i printed out the topo trail maps from here, and also added some of seenvics pavel routes, and placed them in a three ring binder. Just a suggestion to keep them all neat.

Yes rented about 5 times ( two were masters premium). The third group in there were nightmares; but everyone else loved it. The masters peeps want to rent again next year for good premium.
The one group from NC came and stayed three days and didn't say a word until after; they wanted something for nothing. Guess I learned people will do anything for freebie.
Key is paying top cleaning service to clean before hand so no one can give this old batchelor a guilt complex. Good thing my clean service backed me up.
