Property is in Lake Lure, Golf/Lake resort which is a big family summer vacation area. Helene devasted Lake Lure which was the big attraction for summer vacations but it is just about to reopen. 2025 rental season was a bust. The Lake is back and bookings are better but I still have about 10 weeks wide open. In the past, Id have have 2 or 3 open weeks at this time of year. The economy is likely hurting travel this season. I'm thinking I should go to a 4 night minimal stay and offer a small discount for 7 night booking. My property is 5 bedrooms, all 5 star ratings and always priced on lower end of market rates compared to others. Yet, it is still not booked even at 425 per night when going rate in 2022 and 2023 was 575.00 and with 100% capacity June - August. Any thoughts / recommendations/ experiences are appreciated.
