As competition in the STR market skyrockets, they analyze how investors can make their listings stand out, discussing key property features like unique designs, experience-driven amenities, and location advantages that drive bookings. They highlight the importance of destination properties, whether it’s a treehouse, A-frame cabin, container home over a waterfall, or luxury mountain retreat with stargazing domes, proving that guests are seeking immersive stays beyond standard vacation rentals.
