The VRBO Cabin Has Its Very First Guests

You may have been following along on our VRBO (vacation rental by owner) that we started around Thanksgiving last year.  Read this post to see the beginning stages of the project. Then more progress was made with the interior.

I realize now that I haven’t given you any more updates! Although it is not completely done it is so very close and the kids have had their very first guests.

Let me show you a few pictures of how things are looking now.

It’s a one bedroom cabin with a bathroom but there will be sliding barn doors that will be able to close in the bedroom when desired. That’s one of the projects that have to be finished this week.

The bed came from IKEA and the comforter set came from Costco. The cost for the comforter? Only $70! It’s a nice weight and for the price and what we got, we are totally happy with it.  Serenity sewed all the curtains.

W = Washroom which houses the shower/tub, toilet and sink.

Wesley built the vanity cabinet. It was his first ever woodworking project of this type and he did a fantastic job. He is a perfectionist so everything was done excellently on his end.

I love the lights.

This past weekend the kids had their very first guest. There were things still being worked on in the cabin but everything had to be done by that afternoon. That’s when that team of young people we had staying here jumped in and helped get it ready.

Our guests arrived that evening – friends of ours with a delightful little family. They named their new baby Serenity after our Serenity. How special is that?

Since the cabin has no kitchen at this point, breakfast was on the house.  Serenity was the chef and delivery girl.

Seth and Jessica will be here next week and are renting it for the month of April and after that? That’s when we’re going to have it listed on AirBnB and other sites. It’s been a fun project and the cabin has turned out so adorable and cozy.
