Creating a Game Room at Your Vacation Rental Property

Learn how to furnish the extra space in your home to appeal to families with children.
 

Homeowners buying larger properties often wonder whether to use all their rooms as bedrooms, or possibly convert extra space into a game room or recreational area. In some markets, especially those catering to families, a game room is essential to keep up with the competition. The extra space in your home or condo gives you the opportunity to stand out among other properties in your area.

Kris Dykema, an imaginative owner in North Ferrisburg, VT, even added a candy machine to her game room. Guests put coins in the machine to get the candy out, and she uses that money to replenish the candy.
