FAQ's: What is involved in running a lodging business? Organization, record-keeping and phone skills are helpful. Cabin cleaning, yard work, hot tub maintenance, shopping for food prior to guest's arrival. Average time spent per week for maintenance, cleaning & preparing for guest's arrival: 10-12 hr per wk Average Occupancy Rate: 150 nights per year. This means, on the average, the cabin was rented at least every weekend about 80% of the time with an additional mid-week rental at least 40-50% of the time throughout 2005/2006. What are the advantages of having a lodging business out of your own home? Every dollar spent for your home that is used for guest lodging becomes tax deductible - furniture, linens, decor, landscaping, appliances, guest meals, utilities, etc. You control how busy you want to be with guest activity- if you decide to take a weekend, week, month or even several months off - simply tell callers the cabin is not available. Ideal for the homeowner who likes to travel - hire an innkeeper to oversee the home for you while it provides an income.
