There are several things to keep in mind when aiming to provide a comfortable and welcoming space for travelers. Here are a few tips to help you create a successful Airbnb in the Centennial State:
- Location: The location of your Airbnb is one of the most important factors in determining its success, especially in Colorado. Look for a property in a popular tourist area like the city of Denver or Boulder or a ski town like Silverthorne, Dillon or Blue River. This will give you access to a large pool of potential guests and make it easier to attract visitors. Colorado has very specific legislation, so be sure to use a specialized RE brokerage (like Good Neighbor Realty) to make sure you’re buying in an Airbnb-friendly area.
- Amenities: Make sure your Airbnb has all the amenities that guests need to feel comfortable and at home. This includes things like a comfortable bed, a private bathroom, and a fully-equipped kitchen. In Colorado, hot tubs are also a big selling-point, especially if you are buying a property in the mountains.
- Cleanliness: Keep your Airbnb clean and well-maintained. Guests will appreciate a spotless and tidy space, and this can help you attract repeat guests. When you work with us we will provide you with a list of Airbnb service contacts that include excellent cleaners.
- Decor: Make your Airbnb stand out by decorating it with a unique and inviting style. This will help make it stand out from other listings and give guests a memorable experience.
- Photos: Take high-quality photos of your Airbnb and make sure to highlight all of its best features. This will help guests get a sense of what your space is like and encourage them to book.
- Communication: Be responsive to guests’ inquiries and be proactive in communicating with them. This will help build trust and make guests more likely to book your Airbnb.
- Customer Service: Provide excellent customer service to ensure guests have a great experience. This includes things like providing detailed instructions for how to use appliances, giving guests recommendations for things to do in the area, and being available to answer questions.
- Price: Be competitive with your pricing. Look at other similar listings in the area and price your Airbnb accordingly. Using sites such as AirDNA can be a huge help.
By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a top-performing Airbnb in Colorado that guests will love. Happy hosting!
