Detori Design

This pergola was okay, but it wasn’t very functional—no real shade, no rain protection, and not exactly a “guest magnet”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So we DIYed a little makeover: bamboo for filtered/ dreamy light, roofing for weather proofing, and a few cozy touches to make it the ultimate hangout spot.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now it’s the most loved hangout spot in the house!

Let’s talk about a common myth in the host community: cramming as many beds as possible into a rental will maximize your earnings. Sounds tempting, right? But let me tell you why that’s not always the case.

Take this beautiful Bonus Room at . It has a cozy built-in sofa, a hanging chair, a daybed, and even an Arcade game console. Now, this space could have been an extra full bedroom. But with only one bathroom and two other bedrooms, turning it into another sleeping area would mean hosting 7 people with 1 bathroom. That’s not the kind of guest experience I want to offer!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sure, you might think more heads in beds means more dollars in your pocket—but not if it comes at the cost of guest comfort! Instead, focus on creating a standout experience. This bonus room does exactly that, adding value through relaxation and fun, not just a place to sleep, and guests really value that and are willing to pay more for it!

So, if you’re debating between squeezing in more guests or elevating the experience for a smaller group, remember: quality wins every time! It’s not just about offering a space to sleep—it’s about offering a stay worth remembering!
