Just like that, summer has already flown by at a blazing speed, and fall is around the corner. If you live in Arizona, you will always think of Flagstaff when you think of fall, with our pine trees and cool temps. The mountain scenery of Flagstaff always invites our visitors for an incredible stay. Now is the perfect time for our vacation rental owners to take advantage of the cooler temps by turning their property into a seasonal rental. By allowing your property to host guests during this time, you can help make a passive income. Here is how you can turn your Flagstaff home into the perfect seasonal rental just in time for fall here in Flagstaff:

Deep Clean and Declutter

When guests book a vacation rental, they want access to a home away from home. This means feeling comfortable in the property and having access to all kinds of amenities. Having a home away from home does not mean they want to arrive at a property that is cluttered from top to bottom. Help make your vacation rental a neutral and relaxing space by removing any buildup of personal items that are laying around. Personal items can help provide the perfect ambience for the home but too much of them will just take up space. Once you have decluttered the property, it is time for a deep clean. The summer season may have brought in dirt from outside that is on surfaces you would not normally think about. Cleaning surfaces such as the floors and baseboards will help give your property that extra shine your guests will love to see.

Add in Some Fall Flair

Now that fall is around the corner, you can bring out all of the fall décor you have been holding on to. Help create a cozy ambience in your vacation rental by adding some seasonal touches to the home. this can be adding cute items such as pumpkins or autumn themed pillows. Get out the flannel bedding if you have any along with soft throw blankets for the cooler nights. If your property has a fireplace you may want to get it cleaned so it can be used by guests. When your guests feel cozy and comfortable they are more likely to leave that positive review and have a return booking in the future.

Keep the Essentials Stocked

No guest wants to arrive to their vacation rental only to find that the essentials are not stocked. Keep things easy for your fall guests by having your property restocked again with the essential supplies. This includes the bathroom where you will want to have towels and toiletries on hand. Bring out fall themed colors to add a little color to the bathrooms. The kitchen is always welcome with extra supplies such as cooking utensils and snacks. Help your guests stay warm with the cooler temps with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Maps of Flagstaff will help your guests get out and explore the area. Planning ahead with supplies will go a long way with your guests.

Update Photos for Fall

Professionally photography can be expensive and hard to book last minute but if you have the means to add fall themed photos to your listing it will help tremendously. When guests see fall themed photos of your home they will instantly know what to expect when they arrive. This can help show off the right angles of your home inside and out. If your property features oak trees with changing colors of leaves make sure to include them in photographs. Updated photos will help bring out that fall feeling.

Change Your Listing Description

Photos are not the only thing to change for a little fall flair. You can also change the listing description for the property too. Highlight different activities or features that are fall focused such as being near hiking trails or having trees with leaves that change colors. You can also highlight your fireplace or coffee bar. Being descriptive will help paint that picture for your guests.
