Last Minute Holiday Touches for your Short-Term Rental ☃️

It’s officially Christmas week! Guests are searching for places that feel welcoming, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared—especially during this time of year.

Here are 8 easy and last-minute ways to make your guests feel right at home this holiday season:

1. Set the Mood with Subtle Seasonal Décor 🎄

You don’t need an elaborate setup to make an impact. A small tree, soft white lights, or a winter-themed centerpiece can instantly lift the atmosphere. Keep it simple, neutral, and inviting.

2. Upgrade the Bedding for Winter 🛌

Swap lightweight linens for warmer, plush options—flannel sheets, thicker duvets, or textured blankets. Cozy bedding makes holiday mornings feel even more special.

3. Add a Warm Beverage Bar ☕️

Stock up a self-serve drink station with coffee, hot cocoa, teas, holiday mugs, and seasonal add-ins like marshmallows or cinnamon sticks. It’s a small touch that feels like a luxury.

4. Make the Entryway Extra Inviting 📝

Greet guests with seasonal warmth the moment they arrive. A festive wreath, soft lighting, or a handwritten holiday welcome note sets a great first impression.

5. Offer Winter-Ready Amenities ☂️

Depending on your location, consider adding umbrellas, extra blankets, hand warmers, or an ice scraper. These thoughtful details show guests you’ve anticipated their needs.

6. Add Entertainment for Relaxing Evenings 🎞️🍿

Stock a few classic holiday movies, puzzles, games, or a digital playlist. These options help guests unwind and enjoy cozy nights in.

7. Make the Kitchen Holiday-Friendly 🍴

Many travelers enjoy cooking special meals while away. Ensure you have the basics: useful cookware, baking supplies, and seasonal touches like festive napkins or a holiday table runner.

8. Leave a Small Seasonal Treat 🍪

A simple gift—like chocolates, local sweets, a cocoa mix jar, or a small ornament—adds a warm, memorable touch to their stay.

It’s not too late to add the festivities and magic of the season to your STR! If your property isn’t local, work with your management team to ensure your guests are having the best holiday experience that will make them want to come back next year. The little things go a long way!✨

Bored of staying at regular Airbnbs?

How about staying in a silo in a fox shaped treehouse in Maine? 🦊🌲

Step into a dream at The Copper Fox Treehouse, a whimsical fox-shaped retreat nestled high in the treetops. Every corner is hand-crafted with copper, gold, and fox-inspired details — how many foxes can you spot? Relax on a queen CozyPure mattress or let the kids float on cloud-like bean bag beds.

Built sustainably with local wood, hemp insulation, and energy-efficient systems, this treehouse blends luxury with eco-conscious living.
