Getting Your Colorado Property STR-Ready: The McAdams Checklist

Owner Tips
February 20, 20267 min read

How a rental is set up shapes how it performs for years. Some homes launch ready to compete from day one, and others need months of fixes to catch up. The difference is almost always preparation.

Photography Is Non-Negotiable

Professional photos are one of the best investments you can make before your first booking. Guests decide in seconds, and great photos are what earn the click. That's why they're included with every McAdams launch.

The Amenity Baseline

Colorado mountain guests expect: fast WiFi (100+ Mbps), smart lock or keypad entry, well-stocked kitchen (good knives, enough cookware, coffee setup), quality linens, and a clear house manual. Anything below this baseline will show up in reviews within the first month.

What Differentiates a 4.8 from a 4.5

The gap between average and excellent is usually: a hot tub in good working order, reliable heating and cooling, outdoor furniture worth using, and responsive issue resolution. None of these take a big investment. They take attention.
