Hi Hops:
We'll likely sell the lake house, but it's not written in stone. There's been talk of turning it into a rental, or destination location for weddings, etc, bc of the lack of facilities in that area. We all live at least an hour away, so it's not something we could run on the ground. We'd have to hire people to handle everything, and that's possible. It's just more to handle, and worry about.
About your little corner.... I saw, and could have purchased, a little shed outfitted with a bathroom, and kitchen, with sleeping loft. You see them on tv... she sheds, etc. J recall the price being under 10K. Very cool. I think it would have been a better place for a host to live, while airbnbing their home, than to rent out. I have a shed, but our building codes say we can't have any kind of guest cottage situation on our lots. That likely means I could turn it into a she shed, with sleeping loft, and electricity, but not include plumbing.
The Super Host spent a week at the beach condo. She's happy about it being ready to launch, except for the sofa situation. She thinks it too soft, and big, and icky..... I get the feeling she won't be sending her snooty friends to the place UNTIL the sofa's replaced. I'm resisting, as is my way.
