Advice for a mtb-friendly Airbnb host in Southern VT

Posted by JasmineHart on August 7, 2024 at 5:44am in Men's Fashion Forum

Hi folks!

I recently acquired a home in Southern VT and am interested in running it as a short-term rental property. We are 5 minutes from Stratton and 30 minutes from Mt Snow, both of whom operate bike parks in the summer, so I figured it would be a good idea to try and tailor the place specifically towards needs/wants of people engaging in gravel/mountain biking (downhill or XC).

You can DM me if you are interested in the property (listing isn't up yet, but will be soon), but this thread isn't about that. I am looking for input on what some good amenities would be that might make you pick one place over another.

For example, how important is:
(a) a secure place to lock your bike overnight
(b) a dedicated setup for washing your bike
(c) some sort of tooling provision (don't know how I'd prevent people stealing these)

Or are the above not important at all, because most people doing DH are renting anyway. So then what are some other ideas.

Appreciate the help/feedback.

    Hosting mountain bikers can be a fun experience. First, make sure your place has solid bike storage. A secure bike area is a must, and maybe a repair station with tools for those minor fixes. You can also provide a guidebook of nearby trails. Sharing your favorite routes can make a big difference.
    Consider offering some snacks or drinks for those after-ride cravings. Everyone loves a cold drink after a long day on the trails! Be available for any questions or tips your guests might need.

    A) Give them a place to bring the bikes into. Otherwise you'll end up with muddy bikes inside your place regardless. Unless I'm at some place down a long hidden driveway where I'm comfortable locking the bikes to the car rack, the bikes are going inside. Outdoor sheds work well for this. You can even put an extra hasp on the shed where people can use their own bike lock so they're comfortable it's secure.

    B) For a place to wash a bike, you don't have to go crazy outside of an outdoor faucet with a hose and spray nozzle.
