The ABC’s of Short Term Rentals
FINANCE
Most people don’t have the cash to buy the lot and build the cabin or they may not want to allocate those personal assets in their short-term rental portfolio. Contact us to learn more about how to finance a short-term rental cabin and for a list of referrals to our lenders.
DESIGN
There are several ways to design your cabin. Utilize a professional home designer, use an online design, or work with the builder you hire to help you. Some of our favorite online design websites are Den Outdoors, House Plans, and Truoba.
CONSTRUCT
& FURNISH
You can work with your own builder or contact a local builder from the list we provide. Remember to consult and follow the HOA architectural regulations. Your property manager and even some of the design websites may offer tips for furnishing your cabin.
MANAGE
Work with a property manager to market, book, clean, and maintain it. We have a recommended manager for the development, but you are welcome to use someone else or even do it yourself, if you have the time and ability.
MARKET
Your property manager may be able to market your property as part of their service. However, Sky Ridge Retreats, will also market your cabin with their “Rent a Cabin” page on this website. It will be active once cabins are ready to rent!
